As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the faci lities it presents for construction of the new port, and its general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and private villas, a largo and remunerative return may also be anticipated. • ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY. On reference to Mr. BOrde's Report, it will be seen that when the various improvements which have been sug gested have been completed, and the Catalan property fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of three years, although the estimates have been based on the more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this profit will be trebled. MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN . PER CENT. As the first payments of annuities and rent under the arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz., the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years, from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi cates at the time of issue (which will be charged to land purchases account). After that date the revenue from the Joliette lands, the rentalq from the other properties, and profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or bonuses. PAYMENT OF SHARES IN FULL ALLOWED. As some Shareholders may prefer to pay up the shares in full rather than have a larger number subject to calls, application may be made for shares to be fully paid up on allotment. Four half-yearly interest warrants, at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, will likewise be attached to these share certificates. In the allotment of shares prefe rence will be given to these—awlications, hut the number so allotted will not exceed 30,U00 shares, and the Directord reserve to themselves the right in their discretion only to allot 60,000 shares in all on the present allotment..

But, beside this, a construction which is only secure "unless when an extraordinary accident happens," is practically unsafe. It is against extra ordinary accidents that ships have to be secured, and it is the most fatal fault not only of shipbuild ing, but of navigation, that everything is conducted on the supposition that none but ordinary dangers will have to be encountered. As much as this, in deed, is expressly admitted by the report. " All the hatchways of a ship," it is said, " ought to be made as strong as her deck ; and, when occasion requires it, secure from the intrusion of the sea. This may be done in a variety of ways more or less simple." If so, the public will regard it as unpardonable if a ship is ever sent to sea again with hatchways liable to the same accident as that which caused the loss of the London.

The conclusion thus obtained is rendered the more important from the very similar result of the inquiry into the loss of the Amalia, which we published a day or two ago. There, too, the loss of the ship was proximatelypreceded by the water breaking into the engine -room and extinguishing the fires. It is evi dent, in short, that the safety of these steam vessels in a heavytorm depends almost entirely upon the security of the engine -room. It is not improbable, as Mr. Wison thinks, that the construction of our fast steamers is such as to render them ill adapted to meet a storm when reduced to the condition of sailing ships; but, so long as they have steam-power at their disposal, there is every reason for believing them as safe, if not safer, than any other sort of vessel. It is satisfactory that we 112 NC, thus been able to trace these terrible disasters to the real cause, ail l that this proved to- B - ep , "crefforeile'which be ' • y readayisnkilemel4d. •We cannot, indeed;.l44iiit human foresight could not have averted 'the for such a weak point in the construction ought 'to ,4= hate - lken'delected.

We have received the Report of the formal in vestigation by the Board of Trade respecting the loss of the London. This report contains, no doubt, all the information the public can ever receive as to the cause of that terrible disaster. It occasioned at first some natural feeling of dissatisfaction that the representatives of those who were lost in the sulp_were Acit ad q.etted to erossAanlin6 - the wit nesses. Such .a:permission, however ; would, it ap pears, be impossible under tre Ael'of Parliament which directs these investigations; .7 and the report' justly represents that .;sifeh a practice is at -once unnecessary for. the4iirpose . of.ahE inquiry; and might render -it % impracticable. The persons ap pointed by the Board of Trade :have i power to call any witnesses they, may think . .neceSsary, including the- passengers anti their representatives, and to cross-examine them as they - 'please: t. ' Tliese're sponsible and eipe;rieneed. Assessors are- not likely to ndglec't ;any point of uncertainty in .- the Ovi; deuce ;': while if the: representatives :of.'all. the pas, sengers whp wqro lost in such a ship as the i London were allowed...to ,cross 7 examine, the witnesses at pleasure, the, investigatlon might , ,be 4 , indefinitely prolonged. The Court of Inquiry have 'examined no less than 24 - witnesses,- who all 'Mil either a personal knowledge eff the condition of the ship 'or were 'ex perienced in shipbuilding, and the most minute par: ticulars afffethy theseaworthiness of the,vessel have been inqui#d into : .r.fbe result, moreover, is on the whole as sitisfactOry.as could be expected., . It sets at rest seyral disputed points, and indicates at least the proxiigate caust of the disaster. . - :" It appears, inthe first place, that the general equipmcht of the ship amply sustainedther previous reputati4. The-Surveyor of Lloyd's and the Emi grationf fficers at Gravesend and Plymouth concur in repong her as in all respects a good vessel.", The weight of the cargo and its stowage were the next points of inquiry; and with 'respect to these also the Report decides that the ship Was in a satis factorr cdudition. -'he manner "of the stowage is pronounced ~:,to..have - ,bee v_ unobjectionable, and there ',,is ny 4014 that, according to the . standard adopted ,by Lloyd's ~Surveyors,., and - the ~ practice of suchshipiin general, the London.waa not Over loaded. The Court, indeed, 'adVert to sonic' evi dence to' a contrary' purpOrt: ghren by a retired shipbuilder, of Liverpool,: and-they-appear to think _ . that his" opinion is:lot-.to betaltagether disregarded. They repeat, moreover, the Jecominenclation they bad a4eady made in the case of the ; Amalia, that the deep load line should be permanently marked on all vessels carrying passengers and Merchandise. ?Vith*espece to the'Aoyage of Se coals q on deck, e 4 the `Shin 'havipi; --:1 ,t, 1- h io t a gear aloft, the Court observe that she only followed in these particulars the usual practice of all vessels engaged in the same line of trade. They censure the practice, however, in de cided language. It is impossible to say whether, as a matter of fact, these circumstances contributed in any degree to the loss of the ship ; but it may be hoped, now that attention has been thus forcibly called to the danger they involve, that they will for the future be avoided. The only other point relative to the despatch of the vessel from port was the state of the weather when she started from Plymouth. As this is a point upon which Captain Martin has been severely blamed, it is satisfactory to be assured that there is no foundation for such a censure. Captain Stoll, the emigration officer at Plymouth, gave the readings of the barometer on the sth Jan , the day the ship sailed, on the 6th, and on the 7th. There was a rise in those days of about three-eighths of an inch, and this agrees with the state of the weather as reported by those on board the ship. Instead, therefore, of the ship having sailed in the face of threatening weather, there appears no doubt that "the weather was very favourable." In fact, for the first two days after leaving Plymouth, "the weather was moderate." It was not until Monday, the Bth, that " it began to blow strong." We now come to the actual history of the disas ter. Here, again, every one will be glad to observe at the outset that one of the points conclusively established relieves the captain from another ground of censure. Severe reflections had been cast upon him for his supposed imprudence in putting his ship before the wind. It is agreed upon, how ever, "by all the seamen who were examined, that she was never put before the wind until the fore noon on the day she went down," and then only in order to lower the port cutter in which the survivors left the ship. This exculpation of the captain on the points respecting which we have conclusive evidence, combined with his high professional character, is justly held by the Court to preclude any unfavourable judgment respecting doubtful questions in the subsequent management of the ship. it is not probable that a man of such experience, and who behaved so admirably in the moment of supreme peril, would have committed any serious errors, and we must believe that the points of apparent difficulty could have been satisfactorily explained if any of the officers had survived to give an account of them. Moreover, the result of this part of the inquiry is sufficiently definite to render any such questions of very subordinate importance. There is no doubt that the proximate cause of the loss of the ship was the sea getting into the engine room and extinguishing the fires. This disaster is alone sufficient to account for all that followed, and it only remains, therefore, to inquire by what means the sea was enabled thus to break into the engine room. On this point the Court speak with less cer tainty, and a pp ear inclined to think the immense body of water which poured suddenly into the en gine -room could hardly have been admitted if the ship had not sustained some further injuries beyond those which were observed. Here, however, one point is certain, and is furnish us s sky light with a practical result. It is sufficient to to engine-roome was washed away , and that the water p oured into the room immed iatel y afterwards. When we are informed that the hatchway thus left unpro tected presented an opening of 12ft. bin. by 9ft. Gin., we must conclude that if this accident did not actually cause the final disaster, it wa s amp l y suffi cient to cause it. The practical question, therefore, to which the inquiry is reduced is " how the sky light was carried away, whether by any imperfec tion in its construction, or by carelessness in not keeping it properly fastened down." On these points the evidence leaves us to some extent uncertain. A portion of the jibboom which had been blown overboard had been recovered, and was fastened to one stanchion of the hatchway, and it may be that this floated with the water on deck, and contributed to unship the skylight. In other re spects the hatchway seems to have been as well secured from the outside as its construction ad mitted. There is no evidence, however, enabling the Court to say whether " the inside fastenings of the skylight were the weak points of the ship." As to the construction of the skylight the report says, that if properly secured it was a sufficient protection THE SUN. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1866.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-r ow , 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 W omen , children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadinittance, and have 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 demotions 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.

Ina Congre„cration afterwards a „ ...cgumuniti; vac .rvit - abviata .L . mental Philosophy was promulgated. Professor ROLLESTON proposed an amendment enlarging the power of the professor to take fees. Professor ROGERS objected to dealing with the question of professorial fees piecemeal, and criticised the wording of the statute. Professor GOLDWIN SMITH supported Dr. Rolle ston's amendment. The VICE-CHANCELLOR explained that the clause which it was proposed to amend was no .new regu lation, but was adopted from an existing statute. Professor PHILLIPS urged that the legislation, at least for all the Museum Professors, should be uni form. Dr. ACLAND supported Dr. Rolleston, and men- tinned that in the case of the Clinical Professorship a fee was claimed from each of the professor's pupils by a person unconnected with the University. A statute was then promulgated suppressing the Aldrichian Professorship of Chemistry, and devot ing the stipend to other objects connected with physical science. Sir 'I3ENJA3IIN BRODIE asked whether the new disposition of the funds would be permanent, or whether a powei would be taken of restoring them at some future time to a Professor of Chemistry. As it appeared, after some discussion, that a per manent diversion would probably be effected by the statute, Sir Benjamin proposed an amendment to the effect that the endowment should not be per manently diverted from a Professorship of . Che mistry. A statute modifying the composition payable in lieu of University fees was also promulgated. Professor ROGERS objected to the rate of com position as altogether too high, and stated that only 11 per cent. of the members of Convocation availed themselves of it. The charge ought not to exceed the amount of ten years' dues. Mr. OGLE, of Lincoln, observed that the statute as it stood inflicted an injury on all those who had already compounded, since a portion of the sum for which they had compounded was now to be trans ferred to the Colleges, and would be chargeable upon them. He understood that it was intended to remedy this injustice by decree ; but he would be glad of an assurance to that effect. The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave the assurance re quested. ProfessorPßicE explained thathe was not answer able for the rate of the composition, which he him self thoughttoo high. The principle which he wished to calculate had been fixed by the Council. He was only answerable for the exactness of his calculations. Mr. BAYNE, of Christ Church (on behalf of Dr Shirley) handed in an amendment altering the scale of the compositions. :z -.+t': CAMBRIDGE, FEB. 27.

Vols. 3And 4, completing the Work.— " It is almost unnecessary (says the Globe) to review these volumes. The author in his former publication gives a sufficient taste of his quality.. In the present work we have less of personal biography and more of the recollec tions. The author's knowledge of distinguished persons is naturally very great, and whether he narrates the dis comfiture of an aspiring feminine diplomatist by such an astute veteran as Talleyrand or the adventures of a sport ing hero he is equally at home. There is no doubt that in these sketches we have much that is worth preserving of the life and manners of the upper ten thousand during the last half century." DUCHY OF LANCASTER.—The annual -account for the Duchy of Lancaster has been laid before Parliament. The receipts in the year 1865, chiefly from ren tsand profits of courts, and royalties and rents of mines, :amounted to £40,098. The ordinary expenditure, mainly fol: sal a ries and superannuations, was £13,674. There was aieo an outlay of £4,453 for restoration of the Savoy Chap, al, !out this was almost entirely covered by the insurance. Au in the pre ceding year, the sum of £26,000 w as pa id , e ois net income, to the Keeper of her Majesty' s P r i vy Purse, _for her Ma jesty's use.
