So also, as the lighters lift her, the struts by which she is at present supported will fall, and in ease of her still holding by the bows there would again be the most imminent danger of her falling on her side—a danger which would be as great to those near her as to her own hull. Every possible precaution, however, has been taken to prevent chances of such accidents arising. Thc dockyard men employed in the lighters are, of course, conversant with this kind of work, and have, furthermore, been instructed to cut away the fastenings which bind their craft to the huge vessel the instant they perceive she is moving safely. No day whatever has actually been fixed for at tempting to carry out this great effort in mechanics. If the tide serves to-day it may be attempted, but for a very high tide the northerly wind is wanted, and that which now prevails is westerly and likely to keep down the tide of the Thames. In case of the river not rising high enough to-day, the attempt to launch or float—whichever it may be called—is likely to be made on Tuesday. Most earnestly do we trust that whenever it is made it may success ful, for any accident happening to this splendid ship would not only be a serious loss to the hsilhvall Company, but a still more serious loss to the iron clad fleet of England, of which the Northumber land is one of the most magnificent speciinQns ever built.- Now ready at all the I.ibraties, in 3 vo s., 13 E Y OND THE CHURCH. ‘.l his is the work of an earnest, though fu! mind.

SUBSCRIPTIONS. for the WIDOW and CHILMIEN of the late Captain R. IL GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Incol lecticms and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second tnarriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his• funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life • while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends. of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22, Finsbury-circus, B.C. DONORS AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE REFUGE.

AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TENTH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830 and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system emb. aces the non-interferenoe with all stumps, however decayed, the support ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous per son can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur able, na oral, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation tree. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs., warranted.

It is a fact, and a pleasing one, to every intelli gent mind in the country, that since the PRESIDENT'S " extraordinary speech" there has been a decided improvement in the temper of the members of both Houses of Congress, as manifested in their delibe rations uponthey havethe great issues of the day. Whether because seen their own grave faults re flected in the conduct of another, and discovered there was something due from themselves to their high offices, if they would have their dignity upheld in the eyes of, the people, it does not come within our province at present to inquire. Suffice it to say, there has been a change, and for the better, and we, in common with all who sincerely wish the country well, must hail it as a favourable omen. The pre sent time is big with the future ; the great events which are transpiring in America are of that serious , character which makes all attempts at facetite pecu liarly repulsive ; and whoever so far forgets him self through passion—no matter what causes may have given rise to it—as to indulge in language which has become too common to American politi cians, and degraded them in the estimation of the statesmen of Europe, is justly deserving the uni versal condemnation of the country. If Americans have drifted to that stage of Republicanism where there is no longer felt any respect for office it is unfortunate, and the sooner office-holders can de mean themselves in such manner as to regain that respect the better ; but the experience of the past four years plainly shows that they still retain an honest admiration and regard for the welfare of the nation ; and there are few indeed who think the trials of•the day are fit subjects for stump logic or the display of lingual accomplishments. We can not affect to be indifferent over the prospect—the differences which have sprung up between the leaders of the party that was united through out the war in defence of the Union, however ac ceptable they may be to those who have been persistently hostile to the Government, are the source of the deepest regret to us ; but if there must be a division, we trust it will be after all the arguments of reason, uninfluenced by those of passion, have been exhausted. If the point has been reached where there must be a divergence —a separation of those who have been travel ling the same road so harmoniously, and who now only disagree as to the route to be taken to reach the same end,--the perpetuity of the Union— it is to he hoped nothing will be done at the parting unbecoming the exalted dignity of the cause they have each sought to promote. The present attitude of Congress is encouraging to every one desirous of seeing the prosperity of America. May we not expect there is an end to all appeals to prejudice, and that public men of all parties will hereafter en deavour to address themselves to the intelligence of the people ? the general manager of the Millwall Works, had made her cradles of the most extraordinary strength, and these, under the shock of her almost sudden stoppage, held her firm, and probably nothing but this good workmanship saved her from turning over and at once becoming a wreck. She held straight and as upright as if she had never moved, and all the strength of the dockyard was at once em ployed to keep her so by shoring her up on all sides with powerful timber struts. On the following Sunday there was 24ft. water under her stern, and some 2ft. under her bows, and 10 or 12 steam tugs were employed, hawsers got out and rigged to capstans on the other side of the river, and every effort made to start her, but in vain. No one, how ever, who saw this effort was in the least surprised at its negative result. The power of the capstans and hawsers over such a mass was but small, and as for the steamtugs no two of them were ever pull ing together. Since then—that is, during the last fortnight—a most careful survey has been made of the ship and of the ways beneath her, and divers have even been down to examine that part of the stern which projects beyond the ways. The result of every inspection showed that the ship has not strained in the remotest appreciable degree ; the ways were stated only to have depressed as little as 1- Bth of an inch, while no obstacle of accumulated mud or gravel was in her way astern. It was then also ascertained that she hung by her cradle forward, and partly by that astern, but that both, as we have said, were as firm and compact, and still held the ship as perpen dicular, as before she moved from the stocks. Unier these circumstances it was determined, after consul tation between Sir J. Hay, Mr. Lungley, and the most experienced Admiralty and private yard offi cials, to attempt getting her off by floating the stern and applying such powerful hydraulic pressure to the bows as would give her a good start, and then trust to her own impetus to make the best of her way into deep water. Since that decision has been come to, the works necessary to secure the success of such a stupendous operation have been going on day and night at Miliwall. Everything has been done under the advice of the best nautical authori- ties, and almost everything has been personally examined by Mr. Lungley and Sir John Hay. In the first place, to prevent the ship launching her self unexpectedly during some exceptional high tide, she has ueeu bnuL,l awl wedged in in Sueu a manner that any downward movement on the ways seems impossible. In addition to this, however, two enormous chain cables have been taken through the hawse holes and made fast to anchors buried in the ground, while the ship's own capstans have been used to draw these massive links of iron as taut as harpstrings. This is to retain her till the last mo ment, when all is ready to heave her off. The ar rangements for floating, however, are farmore com plex. Every part of her keel, from her bows to well astern, hasbeen wedged up in the most massive man ner, so as not only to secure and ease the weight up, but take some of her enormous pressure off the for ward cradle. In addition to this, 12 large wooden pontoons, or " camels," as they are called, have been constructed. Each of these is 30ft. by 9ft. broad and 9ft. deep, and each is perfectly caulked and water tight, like a little wedge shaped, unpainted wooden vessel. They are all so carefully made from moulds as to fit like a glove close to the bottom of the ship, on each side of which six were chained toge ther yesterday, two and two ou either side, cross chains under the keel connecting all. The floating power of these is equal in all to about 400 tons. Yesterday also men were employed all day in lock ing tiers of empty puncheons under the sterns. Nearly 400 were so coupled up, and these will give a lifting force of about 100 tons. The chief reason for employing these puncheons is that they, from their narrowness, can be got into places between the ship's side and the dock where no other means to assist flotation can well be used. At dead low water last night eight lighters were moored by chains stem on—four under each side of the Northumberland's stern. Each of these, if fastened broadside on, would have a lifting power of 100 tons or so. But the length of the vessel open to the river was not suffi cient to admit of their being thus arranged. They have therefore been chained in twos, with their bows turned under the stern, and counter balancing weights of iron ballast are placed in the sterns of each to prevent their being pulled bows under as the tide rises and finds them secured to the gigantic hull which they are to assist in floating. These counterbalancing weights, however, of course, take off immensely from the lighters' buoyancy, so that instead of each lighter being able as it floated to lift 100 tons, it is calculated that the efforts of all will not amountto much more than 400 tons. The total floating power, therefore, including pontoons, bar rels, and lighters, will be rather short of 1,000 tons. This, however, with a spring tide, when the ship is almost afloat already, is thought quite sufficient for the purpose of getting her off. In the centre of the river a dredging machine will be moored, with a steam capstan on board, and this, with hawsers, can, it is estimated, exercise a strain of 100 tons ; and powerful purchases will also be applied on both sides of the ship from Millwall yard itself• Under the bows of the Northumberland three powerful hy draulic rams have been placed. Two of these, equal together to a pressure of 1,200 tons, are fixed one against each cradle, and both are most securely sup ported with immense timber backings down to the launching ways. The third, similarly held by au immense frame of timber, is of nearly 1,000 tons power. This, however, is fixed in the centre, and upright, so that it can work from the ground up be neath the bows of the vessel, which it will, to the full extent of its immense pressure, partly lift and ease off the ways forward. The anodes operandi of this curious half launching, half lifting, half pushing process will be as follows : when near high water the steam capstans and all the hawsers attached to the crabs and windlasses will be drawn to their utmost tightness, and at high water, as soon as there are even the slightest symptoms of liveliness upon the . immense hull, the three rams will be set to work simultaneously, the centre to lift, and those on each side to push her off. If she goes, the men on board the lighters will stand -ready with axes to cut away all their fastenings to her — an operation which must be quickly done, for the Northumberland is certain otherwise to pull them under her stern and then under water like light ning. The great danger of the attempt is that the vessel may only lift so little as to be just influenced Naval and Military Intelligence. 1 An order was yesterday received at Chatham garrison directing the following officers and detach ments to be held in readiness to embark at Graves end on board the chartered troopship Gresham for gongkong—viz., Capt.

Two armourer-sergeants and one schoolmaster will also embark with the detachments. Previously to the troops embarking the Gresham will be inspected by Major-General Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., to insure the regulations required by the War Depart ment being carried out. The following officers at Chatham garrison have been placed under orders for embarkation to join the headquarters of their respective regiments at the stations named :—viz., Capt. Walter F.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. VARNA. The second general meeting was held on Thurs day at the offices, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street Mr. H. W. Blake in the chair. _ The Secretary read the report, which stated that the progress made in the construction of the railway was in all respects satisfactory, and the works were so far advanced that every arrangement would be made for opening the railway for traffic in October next. The CHAIR3IAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said in consequence of the mildness of the weather the contractors had been able to complete nearly all the ballasting, and they could rely upon the opening of the line on the Ist of October next. The report was adopted. WORCESTER, BROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER. The report of the directors stated that little pro gress has been made iu the works of the railway since Christmas. Arrangements were being made with a contractor to complete the time to Bromyard, by March 25, 1867. The directors had introduced a bill for an extension of the time for the purchase of land and completion of works between Bromyard and Leominster, and for the increase of capital. The capital account showed that £50,201 had been ex pended. BRISTOL AND SOUTH WALES UNION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, at Bristol ; Mr. C. Thomas presided. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he was exceedingly sorry that the ac count they had to present to the shareholders was no better than it was that time six months. The inte rest on their borrowed money had now, however, been reduced, and that, with the steady increase in the traffic, he had hoped would have tended to re duce the balance against them, but the gales of No vember last had put them to considerable expense in repairing their piers and pontoons at the New Pas sage. The charge for the insurance which had been effected upon their two steamboats used in crossing the river Severn would be considerably reduced in the present half-year. Negotiations were pending with the Great Western Railway Company which it was hoped would tend to considerably improve the revenue. Mr. F. TOTIIILL seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was unanimously carried, and the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected. S T OURBRID G E. The half-yearly meeting was held at Stourbridge on Thursday ; Mr. Ackroyd in the chair.

Everybody in it talks about getting out of it as soon as he possibly can, but under existing circumstances he doesn't know how to set about it. I would have leftlong ago if I could have arranged the prelimi naries. All the summer I have been farming ; that I have played out in the full. I then started with another fellow to hunt during the winter, selling, what we killed in the town. We made our head quarters near the town of Nanaimo, the great Pacific coal depot. Here they are only working one pit, and that is most sadly mismanaged. There is coal all over the country, and at Nanahno several really good seams crop out, which, if worked properly, would make this a most important town on thi s coast ; but the people in office have a very happy way of spoiling anything they attempt ; there are so many " bummers" to pay and support, that they have no money left to work the coal as it should be worked. There are rumours of two other con r_ panics starting very soon, but no one knows auy thing about it. I believe, though there is a com pany at work on an island up at the north of this one, " Queen Charlotte Island," this is supposed to be good anthracite coal ; I only hope they may all, fortu!' o d u o t n e b l l e f l i o e r y t e h t e h s a ke on c o f n will b e e x t b e g n e e n fi e t r e a d ti by them, but I really believe that there are far better prospects of coal here than from the gold that is likely to be discovered.

I alwaykliad a . , strong notion of spending a winter on the hunt : I thought that one might spend a pleasant time shoot. jug some deer, probably a panther or bear or tw D , and expected it would be like boating, or any pica.. sure of the kind one sees in the old country ; here it is really desperate, grim hard work. I'll try and describe it. Imagine a country very similar to the highlands of Scotland, or any place where there are any steep rocky hills and gullies, with patches of very heavy timber, swamps, and streams. You start before daybreak, shoulder your Kentucky rifle weighing about 221b5., and off you are, over moun tain and stream. You are not out 10 minutes before you are wet through, boots, leggings, and clothes. Take care of the nipple of your rifle, or that will be wet too ; the best preventive is to pour some melted fat on it. Well, after travelling. about half an.hour, you see a fat buck or a doe—we will - say a doe, us does are fattest this time of the year, standing on rocky hill-side. Look out ! she is uneasy ; she smells you. Now, if you can only reach that rook to your left, you will get a splendid shot at 4 - ier. Crawling over the snow, swinging yourz:elf cautiously treading so as not to crack anything, you reach a place from where, if you only succeed in springing on to the log in front of you, you will be in full sight of her. You balance yourself well, and make the attempt ; but, alas ! it is an old dead log without any bark, slippery as ice ; your foot slips, you nearly break your neck, the rifle barrel strikes your head, and you land neck and heels in three feet of soft snow. Worst of all, the doe is. bounding away over the rocks, 15 or 20 feet at a leaf). You may whistle or halloo as much as you like ; she dislikes your movements too much to stop. Well, you recover yourself, see your rifle is not wet, shake the snow out of your neck, and off once more. After having travelled nearly all day, wet, weary, and hungry, you have succeeded in killing two deer ; one hangs about two miles from home, and the one you have just killed is about three and a half. He. is a buck, and when his head is off, and his inside out, he weighs about 751bs. Now comes the work. I cannot describe what you will have to endure, over logs, up bluffs, through snow-bottoms up to your middle, sweating and tumbling—you get into your places.where it is like beim?: on the treadmill „„1,, ";- 4,41 nprumation fiout te- scription) ; the snow is so deep that every step you endeavour to take your foot falls back into the same place ; however, you do get home ; then you have to go back to where you left the other deer, and pack him in before dark. Then when 'you have finished your frugal meal of venison and tea boforo a huge log fire—the only comfort a hunter has— you compare notes with your chum, talk over the events of the day, how many deer you saw, &c. ; in short, fight your battles over again. This occurs day after day, only varied in details ; sometimes you kill nothing, sometimes three or four (a deer is worth 10s.) ; sometimes you see tracks of wolves or panthers ; sometimes you see the brutes themselves, very seldom the latter though. Deer-stalking may be first-rate fun in Scotland ; but when a man has to hunt and shoot his deer, and then pack it home, it is too much of a good thing.—Believe me, truly yours, JOHN FOTHERINGHAM. * This letter is written by an old member of the London Working Men's College, who emigrated to Vancouver's Island about four years since. The English Cattle Supply. The Times, alluding to the Cattle Trade, Re port, says that the number of beasts last Mon day fortnight was 2,140, on Monday week it was 4,157, while yesterday it was but 2,310. Strange to say, however, notwithstanding this diminution in the supply, the price of beef shows a further fall. On the 12th of March the price of prime beef was 55. 10d. the stone; last week it fell to 55., and this week it is 4s. 101 The deficiency in the number of cattle, like the abundance of last week, is due to variation in the foreign supply. the importation by water from parts of the United Kingdom being still insignificant. - The number of foreign animals at the market, which was 3,490 last Monday, was yesterday but 1,910, and this was more than four-fifths of the whole. These numbers represent the cattle actually offered for sale at the market ; but the Custom-house return of the total weekly importation tells the same tale. In the week ending the sth of March the number of cattle imported was 2,855 ; in the following week they were 2,823 ; in the week preceding the 19th inst. they were 4,171 ; while during last week they fell to 3,102. The fall in the price of beef can only be ascribed to a greater abundance in the dead meat market, and the satisfactory anticipations which we have indulged on this head are so far more than fulfilled. Nevertheless it appears from these returns that to the extent of about half the number of cattle most important is,this criti- England is still dependent upon the foreign supply by T on h e is o s f up th pl e y which used formerly to be offered for sale at the at • • events which the country has had to consider since the first introduction of the Cattle Plague. c . l N. a .Iletinroopmoelinr affected e cted markets. The total number of oxen impo r t e d duri-no. the „, year 1864 from Holland was 77 , 481, while the im portation from all other countries amounted to 68,908. Taking into account also t he number of cows and calves, the total importations of Dutch cattle were 144 against but 81,399 from all other countries. It appears, therefore, that after to-morrow we shall be suddenly deprived of two thirds of our foreign supplies, and that at the very moment when this uour ce of supply has become of the first importance to us. 1N or does this repre ount of the evil. It is difficult to se n t the whole am such a prohibition can long be re suppose that s tricted to Dutch cattle. German n t become equally dangerous -with those an moment from Holland ; and if these two sources were simultaneously cut off, we should, according to our present circumstances, be deprived of our whole foreign supply. It is abundantly evident from such a fact as that which has occasioned this sum mary Order how entirely insufficient are our pre sent systems of inspection to prevent the introduc.... tion of diseased animals. California has set an example worthy of imita tation by excluding bushels and selling and pricing agri cultural produce by weight alone.
