The miniature ship is, in itself, sufficiently attrac tive to all intelligent visitors, for there it stands as it absolutely ploughed the trackless ocean, and first appeared uponreaching the shores of Old England. With its sails unfurled, rigging in full trim, pennon and other insignia proudly floating, and all its various and ample equipments in working order, ready to re-enact the part which has given it an undying celebrity in both the Western and Eastern Hemis pheres, provided always, as the lawyers say, that one all-important element of success be not wanting, viz., the crew which brought the craft safely to these shores. Here, however, arises the difficulty. Any two men possessing, in the slightest degree, less of nautical skill, indomitable Anglo-American pluck, fixity of purpose, adventurous spirit, and presence of mind under all the trying phases of such a voyage, would not only signally fail, but be justly considered fit and proper candidates for a lunatic asylum. In a recent visit to the little ship, we were fortu nate enough to possess a talismanic introduction to Captain Hudson and his chief mate, and, in fact, sole human companion in his hazardous voyage. From both these gentlemen was experienced a cour teous and hearty reception, and a plain but compre hensive recital of their marvellous Transatlantic trip, and we listened with deep interest, particularly to their pathetic account of the sufferings and ulti mate decease of their •anine co-voyager, " poor Fanny." From Captain Hudson, a name, in con junction with those of the most distinguished nautical adventurers, that will be handed down to the latest posterity as an instance of hardihood and bravery, we elicited a store of interesting details of the various circumstances by which they were sur rounded, received a photograph of himself, and an abridged copy of his log-book. A further privilege was kindly granted—permission to step on board, and to ensconce ourselves in the " state cabin," an apartment five feet long, four feet wide, and 27 inches from floor to ceiling. It is hardly necessary to say that, being sliglitly over six feet high, and stout in proportion, the offer of a snooze was grate fully declined. The visit, altogether, was one fraught with unalloyed gratification. After spending an hour in this pleasant engagement, we bade the Captain and Mr. Fitch, the mate, farewell, unre solved whether to admire most the diminutive vessel itself, with its full complement of sails, bows, booms, masts, poles, yards, spars, and all the other paraphernalia of a well-appointed ship (and none of the thi❑gs were wanting in its dwarf representa tive, the " Red, White, and Blue "), or the patience, courtesy, and intelligence of its plucky captain and mate, the sole surviving members of its crew, after the demise of " poor Fanny," who succumbed to death at the moment of victory, upon the vessel reaching harbour on the English side of the Atlantic. - S.

Referring to some ill-timed remarks relative to the improbability of the voyage having been per formed under the circumstances, Captain Hudson displayed some warm and justifiable symptoms of annoyance. With a countenance beaming with manly honesty and ingenious candour, the captain complained that any error he had made in his log book had been taken advantage of to attach doubt to his wonderful achievement, and he experienced great anxiety to disabuse the minds of the British public of the impression which he feared might have been imbibed inimical to his veracity. In the log-book of the " Red, White, and Blue," dated August 5, 1866, it is stated that they saw the " Princess Royal," of Nova Scotia, which ran down to them. The barque in question was the " Danish Princess," when, under the excitement of the moment, the wrong name was inserted. Since writing the above, th e following extr act from the log-book of the barque " J essie " has been received by Captain Hudson :—" Passed, 20th July, 1866, the Red, White, and Bl ue, ' bound East. Lat. 41.10 N. Long . 66, W. Signed, " B. Winslow, master, bark Jessie.' This extract was accompanied by the following letter from a number of gentlemen, residents of New " 88, South-street, York : "New York, Oct. 2, 1866. " t a in J. M. Hu dson, R e d, White, and Blue.' "Dear Sir,—We, the undersigned, take g rea t To Cap ship pleasure' .„congratulating both you and your mate,Mr. F. E. F i tch, on your successful passage across the Atlantic. in your miniature ship, Red, White, an d Blue,' which we doubt not will be acknow ledged by all unprejudiced minds the most hazardous and daring adventure of modem days. But we had no doubt of your success, for one that so suc cessfully commanded his boat in front of an enemy's fort (during the late rebellion) could know no such word as fail.' " Enclosed you will find an extract from the log of the barque Jessie,' Captain Winslow, who says, on the day mentioned in the extract, he saw 20 other sails in sight with his glass. " Hoping and praying that you may be as success ful on your home passage as you were on the out ward, we sign ourselves—Yours truly, M. Hepburn,. C u m Ingersoll,i s (Signed) N. . Ri t c Baxter,h Captain Captain t r W. " C. W. Behm, Captain " C. Bursley, Captain " Richard Hogan, " George H. Baxter." We may perhaps be pardoned for suggesting as a recognition of Captain Hudson's intrepidity that in this mercantile country some tangible and appro priate testimonial might be presented to him, with some similar token to the mate. These being pre sented at the Crystal Palace would prove a source of great attraction. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—At the evening meeting on Monday next the following papers will bo read :-1.

TIIE ARM AS A WHOLE. - - - - - Must be as little liable to injury bylong_continued firing, rough usage, and exposure, as the naval rifles converted to breech-loaders on the Snider system. To be as capable, also, of being used without accident. by imperfectly trained men, and of being manufactured in quantities and of uni form quality. L THE AMMUNITION AS A WHOLE. Must be as little liable to injury by rough usage, damp, and exposure in all climates, as the Boxer cartridge for Snider's converted Enfield rifle—also as little liable to acci dental explosion as the same cartridge, and as capable of being manufactured in large quantities, and of uniform quality. K. CALIBRE. Optional. L. THE TWIST AND FORM OF GROOVE. Optional. M. THE LOCK. Optional. N. RAPIDITY OF FIRE.

The specifications and specimen arms will be considered by the Ordnance Select Committee and its associate mem bers, who will be selected by the Secretary of State for War, and who will, after fi r i ng th e 20 preliminary round s , select and recommend for further trial such of the systems as may appear to them sufficiently promising, rejecting all such as may not be considered to offer sufficient merits to warrant their being included in the competition, the con ditions of which are stated in this advertisement. Each accepted competitor will then be required to furnish for experiment, at Woolwich, six arms in strict conformity to the specimen arm submitted, with 1,000 rounds of am munition per arm, within four months after date of de mand- Each competitor will be required to disclose to the committee the exact nature of the lubrication he may em ploy. A sum of £3OO will be paid to each of the accepted competitors, to cover the expense of the six rifles, and of the supply of ammunition required. The Secretary of State offers a reward of £l,OOO for the arm which, on combination of all qualities, is considered by the committee to be the best submitted. A second reward of £6OO for the arm which, while at taining a satisfactory degree of excellence in other particu lars, is selected for merit in respect to its breech mechanism. A third reward of £4OO for the best cartridge. The qua lities which will be principally taken into consideration in awarding this prize will be economy of manufacture, power of sustaining rough usage, freedom from deterioration in various climates, and general serviceability. The shooting qualities of the cartridge must be fair; but as they may depend upon the rifling of the arm with which the cartridge is associated, they will not be so much con sidered as those above-mentioned. It is clearlyto be understood that under no circumstances will a competitor be entitled to more than one prize ; but such prize will be irrespective of any reward which may be given to the inventor of the arm finally adopted into the service. IV MAGAZINE AND REPEATING ARMS. Magazine and Repeating Arms for Infantry will be re ceived and examined in a manner similar to the Breech loading Rifles. They must not be less in length than 48 inches, including the stock. The limit of weight for these arms is fixed at 911 b. ex clusive of the charges in the magazine. It is indispensable that the arms be made to take a bayonet. The Secretary of State offers a reward of 300 for the best Magazine or Repeating Arm produced that fulfils the above conditions ; and in the absence of experience does not at present define the standard of accuracy or other conditions to be fulfilled before such an arm can be adopted. Those Magazine orßepeating Arms, which are accepted for further trial, will be paid for at the rate of £6O each. This sum is to include 1,000 rounds of ammunition per arm. The Secretary of State will take care that no ingenious novelty produced in answer to this advertisement shall be adopted into the service without proper acknowledgment, and that the name of the individual with whom it origi nates shall he recorded in connection with it. if the rifle to which tho first prize is awarded is adopted into the service, it will bear the Inventor's name.

Lord John Manners and the Trades' Reform Demonstration. A general meeting of the Trades Reform De monstration Committee washeld last evening at the committee-rooms, Bolt-court, Feet-street, to con sider the programme for the forthcoming Reform demonstration. Mr. Upshall occupied the chair. The SECRETARY reported that he had received the following letter from Lord John Manners, the Com missioner of Public Works, in reply to his applica tion for permission to assemble and marshal the procession in St. James's Park : "Office of Works, Nov. 21, 1866. " Sir,—l am directed by the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of tke 17th inst., in which you ask him, with a view of ob viating the inconvenience to the public traffic which would arise by assembling the proposed procession of friendly, temperance, and trade societies, on Monday, Dec. 3d, in Trafalgar-square, previous to proceeding to its destination, to allow it to be formed on the Parade, or in the Mall of St. James's Park. In reply, lam to state that the First Com missioner must decline all interference with the preliminary arrangements for the proposed meeting. The Mall in St. James's Park is open by and during her Majesty's permis sion for the use and enjoyment of all peaceful and well conducted persons. It must, nevertheless, be borne in mind that any such use as is contemplated in your letter must be compatible with its use and enjoyment by others not concerned in the proposed assembly, and I am directed by the First Commissioner to add that a grave responsibi lity rests on those who call together large masses of people in the public places and streets of a crowded city, without possessing the power of influencing and controlling disor derlyand ill-disposed persons who, experience shows, avail themselves of the opportunity so offered to injure property and disturb the public peace.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, "ALFRED AUSTEN, Secretary." After some discussion it was agreed to organise the procession in the Mall of St. James's Park, and it was announced that Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. Forster, M.P., had agreed to attend a meeting in St. James's Hall on the day after the demonstration. THE QUEBEC FIRE. Yesterday a meeting of the coininittteo for the relief of the sufferers by the late destructive fire in Quebec, by which 25,000 persons were made homeless, was held at the Mansion-house, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor (Alderman Gabriel.) There wero present Mr. E. W. Watkin, M.P., Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Mr. R. D. Hodg son, M.P., Mr. J. S. Morgan, Mr. Russell Sturgis, Mr. A. W. Young, and Mr. J. M. Grant, the hon. secretary. The committee was attended by the Hon. Mr. Langevin, the Postmaster-GeneralofCanada, and the Hon. W. M'Dougal, the Provincial Secretary of Canada. Mr. E. W. WATKIN, M.P., the chairman of the com mittee, said the total amount of subscriptions received up to the present time was £lB,BOO, and that X 16,000 had been sent to the relief of the sufferers. Ho had the pleasure to announce that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales had subscribed £lOO. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh had sent £5O, the Lord Mayor £2l, and the Archbishop of Canterbury £2O. It was pleasing to him to state that several ministers of different churches had, without the least solicitation, made collections among their congregations, and the amounts he received had been for warded to him. Collections were proceeding in Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Dublin. Blankets to the num ber in all of 8,000 had been sent out, and an order to the Mayor of Quebec to draw for £2,000. It was then agreed that the Mayor of Quebec should be requested, by telegraph, to draw for £2,000. The Hon. Mr. LANGEVIN said that, attending there as he did as a French Canadian and as a member of the Canadian Parliament, it became his duty to thank the British public for the very handsome, liberal, and generous contributions made for the relief of the Quebec sufferers. He knew there had been many claims upon the purses of the public, but those claims had been forgotten, and the English people had only thought of the 20,000 poor people who in the space of a few hours were left homeless, and had not only lost their houses and their furniture, but the tools by which they earned their bread. Though the people of Que bec had to make an appeal to the benevolence of this coun try 20 years ago, they felt that England had always been so generous towards the suffering that they could appeal to her once more, and he assured the committee that as soon as the Mayor of Quebec had an opportunity of acknowledg ing the generous answer to the appeal that acknowledg ment would be made. Private information had been received from Quebec of the distribution of some of the money sent from this country, and he was happy to say that the bankers of Quebec had readily paid the money upon the authority, sent by telegram, of this committee. It only remained for him to say that what was going to be done should be done as promptly as possible. He need not remind them what the climate of Quebec was, and it was necessary not only to house, clothe, and feed the sufferers, but to find fuel for them as well, and this would prove the necessity of all de lay being avoided. In looking over the subscription lists he noticed a donation of is. from a labourer. It was very gra tifying to see such a subscription, and he who gave it might be assured that that had relieved some distressed fellow-labourer in Quebec. Mr. WATKIN, M. 1 1., said there was a complete organisa tion in Quebec to assist the sufferers, and great self-sacri fice had been shown by all classes of the community. The civil and military authorities had done everything that was possible, and their efforts had boon seconded by the work ing classes, who had co-operated by working overtime without pay to provide dwellings forthe houseless. The LORD MAYOR said it ought to go forth to the public that subscriptions wore still urgently needed at once, and promptitude would doubly benefit the sufferers. The Bon. Mr. WDOUGALL supplemented' the thanks of his friend and colleague, Mr.Langovin, by saying that the benevolence shown by the English to the people of Quebec showed that this nation in its charities was bound by no feelings of nationality, but that its benevolence flowed as freely for the people of a different origin as for those of its own blood and nation. He could assure the committee that the Government of Canada had done all that was possible, and had granted at once, without asking the Parliament, the 'sum of 5250,000: Last evening a letter was received from the Mayor of Quebec (Hon. Jos. Cauchon), dated Nov. 8, stating that ho was requested by the General Relief Committee to con vey to all the contributors to the English Relief Fund the expression of the most profound gratitude of many thou sands of the unfortunate citizens of Quebec.

The London and North-Western and tho Lancashire and Yorkshire jointly intend in the next session of Parliament to apply for power to purchase the undertaking of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Railway Company, and to raise additional capital. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. This company have given notice of an intended applica tion to Parliament in the ensuing session to vest in the company the Surrey and Sussex Junction, the Chichester and Midhurst, the West Sussex Junction, or some of them, and to dissolve those companies—to make alterations in the mode of constructing the Surrey and Sussex Junction Railway, and some of the company's authorized lines in Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, authorized by Acts 1864 and and 1865—power to make the Surrey and Sussex Railway on levels and gradients and with works differing from those authorized by the Surrey and Sussex Junction Act, 1865, and the original sections in at least eight different places.

To appoint a joint com mittee, and to authorize the two companies to raiso fur ther capital. EASTERN BENGAL. The report of tiro directors states that the gross receipts for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to £67,626, the working expenses:to £34,857, and the net re ceipts to X 32,769, against £66,108 gross receipts in the same half of 1865, £29,014 working expenses, and £37,094 net receipts, showing an increase of £1,518 in gross receipts, and a decrease in net receipts of £4,325. The total number of passengers carried during the half-year was £596,097, against £615,591 in the same half of 1865, showing a de crease of 19,491 passengers; 62,182 tons of goods were carried against 56,391 tons in the same half of 1865, show ing an increase of 6,191 tons. The receipts per train mile amounted to Bs. 21.1., against Bs. Oid. in the corresponding half of 1865. The reasons assigned for the falling off in the passenger returns were the wide-spread distress which had prevatted aMoililhe poorer glasses of the community, con seqtent upon the famine which had devastated Lower Bengal, and the temporary stoppage of coolie immigration to the tea districts. The failure of the jute crop, and the late monetary panic, had had the effect of keeping down the amount of goods traffic for the half year. During the last half year the improvement in the general goods traffic brought on the lino had more than compensated for a falling off of above £B,OOO in the returns received during that period for the carriage of jute, Government opium, and passengers. The receipts during the first 13 weeks of the current half year, compared with those of the corresponding period of last year, showed an improvement of above £5,000. Although the returns from the passenger traffic did not came up to those of the corresponding, period, yet there had been a large increase in the returns of the two last weeks over those immediately preceding. The steamer service of the company between the railway terminus at Kooshtea and Dacca had, during the last half year, been more than self-supporting, while it had at the same time benefited the railway by bringing on the fine more than 10 per eent. of the whole goods traffic. The working ex penses amounted to 51.54 per cent. of the gross receipts. The survey and land plans for the Goalundo Extension had received the sanction of the Government, with the excep tion only of those relating to the proposed terminus at Goalundo; arrangements had been made for taking advan tage of the approaching dry season for pushing on t h e works on that line. The total expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June amounted to £1,668,526, leaving a balance of £122,614.

Tho address then went on to observe that amongst the anticipated triumphs of art and industry in the coming year, none would be regarded with more in terest by this society than the Universal Exhibition to be held in Paris. The examinations, said the address, which were conducted by the society in the various subjects of education continued to afford valuable encouragement to artisans and other working men, as well as to those mem bers of other classes who desire to improve and extend the school instruction they may have acquired in early life . Those examinations, embracing a great variety of subjects, including language, literature, science, and the mechanical arts, have year by year produced an increasing number of ,chtewerhi siec value o f students. Propounded by the society in 1853, the system has extended itself, through the instrumentality of the local educational boards, to 100 of the most important centres of population in the United Kingdom ; and those t boards, for the most part, have not only assisted to conduct the society's examinations, but have held other tory examinations with the view of enabling other and less advanced persons to become in after years di the society's certificates and prizes. Althougica.phulthB6e 57wmhb:nr of students examined this year wasless t they amounted to 1,199, they exceeded byba2entinthaey in 1864, when the number was 1,068, and: ss which, since year to witness a continuance of that Pr o Jodi p e d n a e t x e s t which the these examinations wore establish; , h important branch of the labours ° council propose to continue without and is this year £230 -; ce Consort and those of the Royal the prizes gained in 1865 was 0 11 58 ' ss.,ineluding that of the P rin ce Consort and the im provement Society. the change.so c c b ie a t r a y i , several years engaged the attention of sub jects which had for lans of the council extended to a and skill of art workmen, were P employments of art workmen, and the great variety of the rf redfor excellence, both in design and the council,ofatnhde the Plans rewards they °- -e-- workmanship, f m usical education at home and abroad was next were numerous and substantial.

After some observations upon the subject of trade marks and the protection of inventor; the address proceeded to give some valuable statistics in regard to the Rinderpest or cattle plague. In reference to the important subject of cholera the address stated that fears aro ex pressed in many quarters by thoughtful men that, although the mortality from cholera has greatly diminished, and the area of its attacks much lessened, it may be expected to re appear before it departs from our shores ; and, although this opinion ought not to discourage us, we should firmly resolve not to discontinue or diminish, but, where neces sary, to increase and extend, those sanitary precautions whereby we have sought protection for our people in the recent crisis.
