The first trial was made by pumping water from the harbour into the steam basin and o. :1 1 . cock against the ordi nary head of water in the basin. The area of the steam basin is 7 acres, or 301,920 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 181 in. per hour throughout, but the first hour the rise was at the rate of 194 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 114 in. in 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 13in. 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 wateripumped out as follows :—Pump started at 2 p.m. Depth of water lessened—at 215 p.m. by 4ft. 84in., at t 30 p.m. by 3ft. 81in., at 2 35 p.m. by 3ft. 6fin., at 2 45 p.m. by 3ft. 14in., at 3 p.m. by 2ft. 84in., at 3 15 p.m. by 2ft. 51in., at 3 30 by 2ft. 34in., at 3 45 p.m. by 2ft. 1; in., at 4 p.m. by 2ft. lin., at 4 15 p.m. by 2ft. 2in., and at 430 p.m. by lliin.

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.

All friends of the Zoological Society will be mud shocked to hear of the great loss the society has sus tained by the death of two giraffes by fire. On Smallpeice and Mundy, ran to the o ce in le ar dens crying out, " The giraffe house is on fire." Mr. Thompson and the other keepers were not long in arriving at the spot. Dr. Murie, 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 he 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 manner, along with Scott, the eland keeper, trampled out the flames 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. They hauled them out as quickly as possible into the yard, but alas ! found them pulseless and not breathing. They then re-entered the stable and quenched the fire. The other two giraffes would most probably have fallen victims to the fire had not 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, walls with are r e the b li s litter,te blistered and the flames must shortly have spread over the floor of the stable. It is supposed that a match u a must, n p d o a s o r i o n d m e s e o e f lv t the tay, on have fire. r in i h n e N iX ca e l d king about, trod animals, i got r n it about 6ft. or Bft., and it is a merey 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 iu the highest health and vigour, now motionless and inanimate. The measure ments of the giraffes are as follows :—From nose to tip of tail, large animal, 12ft.; small, 4ft. 9 fin. ; 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, lit. Sin. ; foot to shoulder, large animal, Bft: ; small, 4ft. 10iin. ; horn, large animal, Gin. ; small, 31in. ; car, large auitnal, llin. ; Sin. ; tail, with hair, large animal, sft. 2in. ; small, lft. 6in. 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 male arrangements, and pur pose erecting a large stand, permission having also been granted to circulate the Scriptures in French, It a li an ,German, Spanish, Russian, English, Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, o &c. It oks, as also the Acts of s proposed to distribute the fur Gospels the Apostles and Epist l e to the Romans, &c., in the above languages to t he p e ople freely. The Scrip tureso osl in srnl b circulated are to be of the authorised Protes tant version. (This refers, we must suppose, to the 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. 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. 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 conjunctian with the Snider musket. An order has been received from the Horse AtiA3 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 lie was officially reported for his gallant conduct at the capture of some vessels near the Penmarks 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 1816, 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 on 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 neeessity 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 volumes 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. deck 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 comeoff 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 , s im p l y an " Appold," . 6ft. Gin. in diameter, and has nine blades or vanes. It is fixed on vertical shafting, like the hydraulic wheel of her Majesty's ship IVaterwitc andno is driven by two engin es of 40-horse power, minal, each ; the c y linders having asteam diam eterbeino o. of 30 in., and a stro ke of 30 in., cut off at one-fourth stroke.

Having,. in conjunction with Captain Harris and Baker, as nautical assessors, held the inquiry or dered by your lordships into the loss of the barque Constantia, I beg to forward my report. 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 by W. till midnight, and 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 fr 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 minutes, gave orders to the mate to make ready to go about and to call all hands up at 345 a.m. In the interim, however, about 3 30 a.m., the ship struck, when the last-named light was about nine miles distant. No cast of the lead was taken. Every r effort was made to get the ship, which seems to have grounded just before high water, off the ba n k, an d et h t state o da her sails having been laid aback she came off o n th e rbao starboardpaiboats, lrapidly, and t that atltack,e although t i h t t headohhueg hvessel all off s hands i h e a. weresßinuk g kept t i n she n sustained so much damage, and ma d e wa t er so the pumps, they were obliged t o t a k e t o t h e with twelve feet of water in her, or more, about 9 a.m. There can be no doubt that in this case, as in so many others which have been before the Court, the Master neglected to make due al lowance for the set of the tide and leeway, and, so 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 n avi g ating the Irish Channel, however much the lights may be multiplied, these casualties wi ll continue to lt the Court fe happen. Under these circumstan.ces and to bound to pronounce the master indefault, ths calendar mon • suspend his certificate for 12 ca have, &c., l'olice l‘lagistrate. T. S.

DANGERS OF LONDON STREETS.—Between six and swen o'clock on Friday last, Mr. Rees, of Dennett-road Pecklmn, was robbed of upwards of £2OO, on his way home from the Peckham Railway station. The attack was made by two men, the one meeting and the other overtaking him from behind, and from the time selected and the skilful way in which the robbery was executed there is no doubt it had 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. JEFFREYS AND THE FIDDLER.—Though JoedNiffvnasreipet:u.3)ThilStri 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. "Oh, indeed!" croaked 'Jeffreys. " This is very important — highly important—extremely important ! And pray, Mr. Witness, what is the difference between a musitioner and a fiddler 2" With fortunate readiness the man answered, " As much, sir, as there is between a pair of bagpipes and a recorder."—Jeafreson's Book about Lawyers. ils tv atra o v c ata gem g e t li o e f trapper CAP a in capturing a white murchan, succeeded the other day glede or kite, which, to use Christopher North's oxpression, CAPTURE OF the estate A GofLEJaDnEl.es—DDaigoinciaslhd, Esci., Mackenzie , of Ardn had been " the pride and the pest" of the district. for many years.

ANCIENT CUSTOM AT THE BURIAL OF AII S. th 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 hors° was killed in order to provide the ears for burial. The custom is an old and barbarous one, and scarcely anything is known of its history. In alluding to tho subject, the "Baron de Bonchose" says, " I assume them (the ears) to be the true indicator of the horse's powers, the linl: of communication between him self and rider ; by them he e±presses 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 their 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 custom—a practice more honoured in the breach than in the observance.—Land and Water.
