The first trial was made by pumping water from the harbour into the steam basin and ,No. 11 dock against the ordi nary head of water in the basin. The area of the steam basin is 7 acres, or 304,920 cubic feet. The dock is 419 ft. long by 97 ft. wide, and gives an addi tional 40,643 square feet to the basin area. The trial was a continuous pumping under the conditions of a varying tide. The rise of the water in the dock or basin was 18 -in. per hour throughout, but the first hour the rise was at the rate of 191 in. The second trial was made also with the same dock and basin, the trial lasting half-an hour, commencing a quarter of an hour before dead low water, and concluding a quarter of an hour after dead low water. The average lift was 10ft., and the height of the water in the dock and basin was raised 114iu. iu the half-hour. The third and last trial on Saturday was to pump the water out of No. 11 dock, commencing at high water, the water in the dock being level with the tidal level of the harbour outside the walls of the yard and dock. The depth of water in the dock was 26ft. to inverts and 13iu. below, or a total of 27ft. lin. from level to floor. The contract stipulated time to pump this vast body of water out 'was three hours and 30 seconds. The pump was started at 2 p.m. precisely, and until the dock was emptied of its water the depth was taken and the vertical central measure of the water pumped out as follows :—Pump started at 2 p.m. Depth of water lessened—at 215 p.m. by 4ft. 81in., at 2 30 p.m. by 3ft. 81in., at 2 35 p.m. by 3ft. 61in., at 2 45 p.m. by 3ft. 11in., at 3 p.m. by 2ft. Skin., at 3 15 p.m. by 21t. 51in., at 3 30 by 2ft. 3fin., at 3 45 p.m. by 2ft. 11in., at 4 p.m. by 2ft. lin., at 4 15 p.m. by 2ft. 2in., and 'at4 30 p.m. by 114 in. The total is 26ft. 3fin., and this was pumped through the circular culvert at I the head of the dock. The remaining nine and a half inches were pumped through the barrel drains leading from the after end of the dock. Two and a half hours were occupied in pumping through the head culvert, and five minutes through the barrel drains, the total time occupied in pumping the dock clear being two hours 35 minutes, or 55 minutes less than the contract iliac. Messrs. Easton and Amos have reason to be much gratified with the re sults of the trials to which their pumping machinery has been subjected, and the civil engineering depart ment of the Admiralty also deserve credit for ad vising the expenditure of money upon machinery that appears to be so efficient.

The Con stantia was a wooden ship, of 436 tons, built in 1859 at Liverpool, and owned by Mr. E. C. Friend and others of that port. She left Liverpool on the 16th of October last, under the command of Mr. Edgar Willcock, who holds a certificate of compe tency as master, and had a crew of 16 men all told. She was bound for Yokohama, in Japan, and car ried a general cargo and no passengers. The pilot left the ship off the Bell Buoy about 6 o'clock on the same evening ; and at 7 p.m. on the 18th the South Stack Light bore E. and by S. 12 miles. From this position the ship stood across S.W. and 1 by W. till midnight, Lula W.S.W. from that hour till she struck, at 3.30 a.m. on the 19th, upon the north end of the Arklow Bank, her average speed having been four and a half knots from her last departure from the Stack. There was a fresh breeze from the south ward, and she carried double reefed topsails and reefed mainsail. About 1 a.m. the look-out reported a light ahead, and the mate also saw the same light somewhat later on the starboard beam. This light was also seen by the man at the wheel about 2 30 a.m. on the starboard quarter, and he stated in his evidence that he heard the mate point out this light to the captain, who came up about 3 a.m., and all seem unfortunately to have taken it for a ship's light, whereas from the course and distance run, making due allowance for tide and leeway, must have been the Wicklow Swatch Light. Very shortly, afterwards another light was seen right ahead, or a little on the port bow, showing from time to time, which was also too readily assumed to be a ship's light, and this was, doubtless, the Ark low revolving light, as was subsequently proved. Upon the discovery of this light, the master went below to consult his chart, and, returning in a few esg m tffor i o n uar u cbtk t o e w, u s a s , t wa g hni a ed v an e dt oet o h rd teeoa e lllg r a s seatt t i o ltnha t he h ma e snehd in di sp a l,ui t gw e phh t ta o i et wh t n 3as a s4e k esa e m: r os. e ui nt a d to. h y n In t vn o ee n t . he Ev sh er i y i) m th i e les in d t i e s r t i a m n , t. hNowo e c v a e s r t , of ab th o e ut le 3 ad 3 w o as a t .m ak . e , grounded her saisails h just g b ebfeoerne laid dh aback water, she the b eff came e ak off ,and on the starboard tack, with head off shore. But she had sustained so much damage, and made water so rapidly, that although all hands were kept to the pumps, they were obliged to take to the boats, and left the vessel in a sinking state with twelve feet of water in her, or more, about 9 a.m. There can be no doubt that in this t e a h s e e o a u s r n, t s h o e manymast e othiers e w e li c have tledh to b make ak e e e n before due al lowance doing, miscalculated his position. For eight or nine hours, however, he had been standing to the west ward, and therefore approaching the Irish banks, and without any other warning than that which a calculation of the distance run should have given him, he should have had recourse to his lead. But he saw two lights, both of which must have been beacon lights, and yet, with singular credulity, they were hastily considered by all who saw them to be ship's lights. One cast of the lead, however, would have undeceived them ; but if master mariners will persist in the neglect of the lead while navigating the Irish Channel, however much the lights 11l ay be multiplied, these casualties will continue to nd to h felt b a e p u p nd en ie pUrnedneeruntheeesethceircmumassttear i circumstances suspend his certificate for 12 calend ar mon have, &c., 3faaistrate.

Th e prospectstforof the working classes on the Tyne this winte r are y u npromising. The iron shipbuilding trade is w ee kl y b more dull and depressed, and th ere i s a consider able number of hands out both in the iron an d ti m b er ship building yards; and the general m anu f actur i ng and ship ping trades of the Tyne are f ar from flourishing. The a O r- ming only great manufacturing trade on the river which shows any activity is the chemical. Large shipments continue to be sent not only to New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, but into the Western States of America, and the demand is likely to continue. Prices are high and stocks are low, and though the value of the raw material —manganese and pyrites—has greatly increased of late, the business is a very successful one. A company of English capitalists in con nection with the chemical trade, having a capital of £200,000, are about to commence operations with a view to develope the mines in Spain, from which our manufac turers get their principal supplies of the raw material.

Sir James Yorke Scarlett, K.C.8., has been exercised by brigades in route marching during the past week. On Tuesday the Cavalry Brigade, under the command of Major- Gen. Hodge, C. 8., consisting of the 3d (King's Own) Hussars, the 17th Lancers, and the 15th (the King's) Hussars proceeded in the direction of Farn ham, and returned to camp after a march of over two hours. On Wednesday the 2d Infantry Brigade, under the command of Col. Peel, Acting Brigadier, consisting of the 28th Regiment and the 52d Light Infantry, marched out, ascended Hungry-hill, and, with a company from each battalion covering the advance of the brigade passed on to Bricksburg-hill, and thence to Farnham, returning by the lower road from that town to quarters. On Thursday the Ist Infantry Brigade, under the command of Brigadier- Gen. Renny, consisting of the 66th and 81st Regi ments, marched to Pyestock, where a halt was made, and the 66th was sent out on outpost duty. The regiments subsequently crossed and recrossed the Basingstoke Canal, and executed several manoeuvres before returning to quarters. The batteries of artil lery also marched out on different days. In pur suance of orders, the division will march out to morrow morning, in the division of Bagshot, Black water, Frimley, and Sandhurst. The Cavalry Bri gade and the Royal Horse Artillery, under the coin man of Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., will proceed to a certain point near Bagshot, and take up a position at a distance of about eight miles from camp. Bri gadier-Gen. Kenny's brigade will proceed toFrimley, and take up position with patrols on the different roads ; distance, between five and six miles. The 2d Infantry Brigade will take up position at Frimley green, with patrols thrown out to the front on both flanks. The 3d Infantry Brigade will proceed from the North Camp through the villages of Hawley and Blackwater, and tal-e up a position on the College-grounds, between the lake and the college, with pickets to the left front, also patroling the Bagshot and Frinaley roads; distance about seven miles. A battery of field artillery will be attached to the Ist and 2d Brigades. The object of this combined movement is to check the advance of an enemy from the north, either by tho main road from London through Bagshot, or any parallel roads, or accessible country on either side of such roads. The guns and cavalry skirmishers are to be provided with five rounds of ammunition each, and the brigades to be in position by b alf -past 10 o'clock. In accordance with a recent order from the Horse Guards the infantry regiments at Aldershot are be ing exercised in " running drill." The running dis tance is at present 300 yards, which will be even tually increased to 1,000 yards. The pace is not to exceed six miles per hour. When the men have had the necessary amount of practice most of the move ments hitherto performed in ordinary time will be executed at the " double." If the new drill is in troduced with a view to make rapidity of movement coincide with the use of the breech-loader, it will become a question whether the knapsack must not be abolished, as movements at the double for any length of time with the weight of knapsack and ac coutrements would necessarily induce an amount of fatigue which in action would tell severely upon the soldier. If the range of our breech-loader is greater than that of any other musket the advantage of the running drill may be incalculable, as it would seem possible to annihilate an opposing line with impu nity, retire rapidly, and show a new front. But, apart from the question of the relative range of fire, success in action so often depends upon rapidity of movement that it is satisfactory to find the autho rities of the War Department endeavouring to make it a most important feature of military tactics in conjunction with the Snider musket. An order has been received from the Horse Guards directing the draught of the 2d battalion 16th Regt., now under orders to join the service companies in Barbadoes, and consisting of Lieuts. Pyne and Tabb, 57 rank and file, one officer's wife, and one child, to be held in readiness to embark at Liverpool on or about the 24th inst. In accordance with instructions contained in a route received from the Quartermaster-General to the Forces, the de pot 82d Regiment, under the command of Captain Briggs, left Colchester on Saturday, and proceeded by rail to join the 2d depot battalion at Chatham. Vice-Admiral Wm. Hamley died on Wednesday last. He entered the navy at 13, and was lieut. of the Pallas in the Walchern expedition, and of the Havannah, when he was officially reported for his gallant conduct at the capture of some vessels near the Peumarks in 1812, and was present at the cap ture and destruction of an armed vessel and convoy under the towns of Vasto and Fortore in 1813, be sides in several minor boat actions. He commanded the batteries at the siege and capture of the fortress of Zara in the same year, and had his name honour ably mentioned in the Gazette four times in 1814. He obtained his commission as Lieut. Jan. 20, 1807 ; Commander June 15, 1814 ; and post rank Oct. 20, 1834. He was placed on the retired list under her Majesty's Order in Council in 1846, be came Rear-Admiral Dec. 1, 1856, and Vice-Admiral Dec. 12, 1863. The late Admiral was a Knight of Leopold of Austria, and had also received the Austrian gold medal. One of the most essential of the many points for consideration in the design and construction of docks is necessarily the provision of a means of egress for the water on the admission of a ship for examina tion or repair. This is sometimes effected by simply pumping out the water—a somewhat long process, as pumping engines are generally fitted for the pur pose—and otherwise by a combined system of pump and reservoir, the latter being constructed ou a lower level than the floor of its adjoining docks. Even, however, when pumps and reservoir have been combined, as is the case now with several of the old docks of Portsmouth yard, the work of emptying the dock of water on the admission of a ship remains a difficult matter, and it is often late at night before a ship can be shored up and secured on her blocks. In constructing the Minotaur or No. 11 dock at Portsmouth, the pumping system has alone been adopted for emptying the dock of water, but this appears to be so efficient as to altogether supersede the necessity for reservoirs as an additional power for rapidly filling or emptying docks or basins, and has also again established the great superiority of the centrifugal over all other forms of pumping gear in dealing with large volumps of water where the time occupied in the work done is of importance. No. 11 dock at Portsmouth yard is connected with and entered from the steam basin. In constructing this dock a centrifugal pump was erected at its head by Messrs. Easton, Amos, and Co., of London, under contract with the Admiralty, and connected by cul verts with the No. 11 dock and the steam basin, and also with the reservoir of the old docks of the yard. The official trials of this centrifugal pumping-engine have been made during the past week, the last trial having come off on Saturday, and have been attended with very remarkable success. No.ll dock and the connecting steam basin were selected for the pump's trials as affording perfectly reliable data by which to measure its capabilities. The pump, which is in reality, as may be supposed, simply an " Appold," is Gft. Gin. in diameter, and has nine blades or vanes. It is fixed on vertical shafting, like the hydraulic wheel of her Majesty's ship \Vaterwitch, and is driven by two engines of 40-horse power, no minal, each; the cylinders having a diameter of 30 in., and a stroke of 30 in., steam being cut off at one-fourth stroke. Steam is supplied to the engines by two double-flue Cornish boilers, each 25ft. in length and 7 ft. in diameter, and having two 2ft. 9in. flues. Culverts Bft. by Gft. communicate with the outside water of Portsmouth harbour, either for ingress or egress, and with the steam basin inde pendent of No. 11 dock. A circular culvert of Oft. diameter communicates with the pump from the head of No. 11 dock. There is also communication RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

PROVIDENCE ROW S NIGHT REFUGE, FO HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury; E.C. 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, anti orphans %re, for want accommodation, refusedadmittanco, andhav e 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 1;1,000 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.

All friends of the Zoological Society will be much shocked to hear of the great loss the society has sus tained by the death of two giraffes by fire. On Tuesday last, Nov. 6, at 7.20 p.m., two keepers, Smallpeice and Mundy, ran to the office in the Gar dens crying out, " The giraffe house is on fire." Mr. Thompson and the other keepers were not long in arriving at the spot. Dr. Alurie, the anatomical prosector of the society, happened to be in the office; he immediately ran with the keepers to the giraffe house, which he found filled With a dense volume of smoke. The two keepers having arrived a minute or two before Dr. Murie, had opened the windows, which be judiciously ordered to be immediately closed. They then proceeded to throw water on the burning straw, and going into the stable in the most plucky mann er , a l ong w ith Scott, the eland keeper, trampled out th e fl a mes as well as they could. As the smoke cleared off a little they found the two giraffes, mother and child, stretched on the ground motionless. Th ey h au l e d them out as quickly as possible into th e yar d , but alas ! found them pulseless and not b rea thi ng . They then re-entered the stable and quenched the fire. The other two giraffes would most probably have fallen victims to the fire had nut the doors of their stable been wisely thrown open and the animals turned into the yard immediately the fire was discovered. They were, when first discovered, breathing badly, and stooping their heads, but otherwise they were not seriously affected. The larger one of the two has caught a bad cold, of which we trust, however, it will soon get better. The origin of the fire is a matter of mystery. It was confined to the eastward of the three compartments of the giraffe house. The straw, from some unknown cause, became lighted, and the flames must shortly have spread over the floor of the stable. It is supposed that a match must, in some way, ha ve go t mixed with the litter, and that one of the anim a ls, in walking about, trod upon it and set it on fire. The walls are blistered about Gft. or Bft., and it is a mercy that it did not extend further. By the kindness of Dr. Murie I have been enabled to examine the two victims of this sad accident. It is very painful to see these two beau tiful creatures, but lately in the highest health and vigour, now motionless and inanimate. The measure meats of the giraffes are as follows :—From nose to tip of tail, large animal, 12ft. ; small, 4ft. 9 p.n. ; from top of head to hoof, large animal, 12ft. sin. ; small, 6ft. llin. ; length of mane, large animal, sft. 2in. ; small, 2ft. lin. ; head, large animal, 2ft. 2in. ; small, lft. 3in. ; foot to shoulder, large animal, Bft. ; small, 4ft. 10 in. ; horn, large animal, bin. ; small, 31in. ; ear, large animal, 11m.. ; small; Bi n . ; t a il, w i t h hair, large animal, sft. 2m. ; small, lft. Gin. The poor animals are much scorched about the belly and legs, and the left hind hoof of the smaller one is quite loose from the effects of the fire. The imme diate cause of death was suffocation from the smoke, combined with the shock from the intense- heat of the burning straw. I understand the animals are heavily insured, but this Will not replace the noble looking mother giraffe and her pretty little young one.—Frank Buckland in Land and Water. The Morning Advertiser states that at the forth coming Paris Exhibition space has been allotted by the French Imperial Commission to the Bible So ciety of France in the park surrounding the build ing; and with this society the committee of the " Bible Stand" at the Crystal Palace and at the Ex hibition of 1862 have ma,ie arrangements, and pur pose erecting a large stand, permission having also been granted to circulate the Scriptures in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian, English, Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, &c. It is proposed to distribute the four Gospels in smalibooks, as also the Acts of the Apostles and Epistle to the Romans, &c., in the above languages to the people freely. The Scrip tures circulated are to be of the authorised Protes tant version. (This refers, we mu s t su p pose , t o th e English books only.) The books will cost about £2 10s. per 1,000, and judging from the extent of the work in London in 1862, it is not improbable that 2,000,000 may be required, which will cost £5,000, in addition to which about £l,OOO is requi site to defray the expense of the stand and for the payment of eight or ten helpers. For this purpose the committee are now making an appeal. ,:,~~ Volunteer ...

DANGERS OF LONDON STREETS.—Between six and seven o'clock on Friday last, Mr. Rees, of Dennett-road Peckham, was robbed of upwards of £2OO, on, his way home frombtweho whichar n t d h e,tn e ha, P ent h e dr c e of k obr h nob a mee m rmy : a eh ewe t i ia l tn s si v n ig a e ae y : le s ac t a ut selectedthtieeodno .tt other rr and the overtaking it t esh t a r et ncakskokiwdinl doubt s fguuhlb m i twmaiadtfyerob hadimny been pre-arranged, and was carried out by persons who had made themselves acquainted with Mr. Rees's habits, and had followed him from the Bank on the day of the robbery. Unfortunately, £l5O was in gold, but the other portion, which was in paper, may lead to the detection of the thieves. Between forty and fifty cases of daring highway robbery have now occurred in South London within the last two or three weeks, and it is time some great improve ments were made in the police arrangements of the dis trict. JEFFIIEYS AND THE FIDDLER.—Though Jeffreys delighted in music, he does not seem to have held its pro fessors in high esteem. In the time of Charles 11., musical artists of the humbler grades liked to be styled " musi tioners ;" and on a certain occasion, when he was sitting as Recorder for the city of London, George Jeffreys was greatly incensed by a witness who, in a pompous voice, called himself a musitioner. With a sneer the recorder in terposed—" A musitioner ! I thought you were a fiddler!" ".I am a musitioner," the violinist answered stoutly. "01, indeed !" croaked Jeffreys. " This is very important "' highly important—extremely important ! And pray, _ Witness, what is the difference between a musitioner and a fiddler 2" With fortunate readiness the ma n answe r ed, and " As much, sir, as there is between a pair of bagP i P as a recorder."—Jeafreson's Book about Lawy trapper on the estate of James Dalg.loi ca pturing a white CAPTURE OF A GLEDE. —Donald murchan, succeeded the other dayh in n r North's expression, sci„ of Mackenzie, Ar da a_ glede or kite, which, to use Christopher P a the district for many had been " the pride and the pe s t" exd all their skill in years.

Anglers have caught as many as three or four fine salmon in one day in the Eden, and in the Derwent equally good sport has been afforded to the rod fishers. The rivers are now swarming with breeding fish, and with careful watch ing a still greater improvement in the fishing may he an ticipated for next year. ANCIENT CUSTOM AT THE BURIAL OF A HUNTS MAN.—SeveraI correspondents have written to inquire about the origin of the custom of burying the ears of a favourite horse in the grave of a deceased huntsman. It is said that the horse " Comus," given by Charles Davis by the Prince of Wales, was shot the day previously to the funeral of the Queen's huntsman ; but it is probable that only a valueless horse was killed in order to provide the ears for burial. The custom is an old and barbarous we, and scarcely anything is known of its history. In alluding to the subject, the "Damn de Bonchose" says, " I assume them (the ears) to be the truo indicator of the horse's powers, the link of communication between him self and rider ; by them ho expresses himself in many ways —temper, strength, courage, &c. They are the only part wholly visible to the huntsman. To keep his eye on them and between them gives the perfection of balance and seat. They are the guide to honours." The Baron seems to be enlightened by his idea; but we are still in the dark as to the origin of the cus tom—a practice?, more . a nd Water. in the breach than iu the observance.— d Water. are F il E rf A or C i E ned ßE tl T ta Nl t . ait shook the slave empir©, and peace is to be s urap y • don the Paragua3 an signed E p E e N o. ePbAeitt,AveoeunAßYraAze/NiiD a n B d R ApZalrLa.s—u Paraguay e s nearly certain.
