By order of an Extraordinary Board. HENRY LAKE, Manager. Feb. 16, 1865. Naval and Military Intelligence. The Imperial Ottoman screw line-of-battle ship Kosovas, 80 guns, bearing the flag of Admiral Edhem Pasha, the Commander-in-Chief of the Otto man squadron now lying at Spithead, completed her screw trials over the measured mile in Stokes Bay on the 18th inst. most satisfactorily, under the supervision of Mr. J. Dinnen, inspector of machi nery to the English Board cf - Admiralty, and of the steam factory and reserve officials of Portsmouth Dockyard. The ship has been recently fitted at Southampton by Messrs. Maudslay and Field, of Lambeth, with engines of the nominal power of 700-horses, under the inspection of the officers of the English Admiralty. The Rossova's engine cylinders have a diameter of 77 inches, with a length of stroke of 3ft. 9in. The boilers have about 21 square feet of heating surface per nominal horse-power. The screw is two bladed, with a diameter of 19 feet, and a set pitch on the trial of 20 feet, but it can be varied from 20 feet to 24 feet pitch, being bolted together on Mauds lay's principle. The screw's leading corners are cut, as is the custom now with all screw blades in use in her Majesty's navy, on the Admiralty pattern. The screw is lifting, and is hung in the usual banjo frame. On weighing her anchor at Spithead for her trial over the measured mile in Stokes Bay the Kossova's draught of water was 23ft. forward and 25ft. aft, the upper edge of the screw being then immersed 2ft. 6in., the ship having 425 tons of coals in her bunkers, and being otherwise in all respects complete in stores, armament, and crew, and ready to proceed direct to sea from off the trial ground if required to do so. The wind was rather fresh from E.N.E. with a slight swell over the course. Six runs were first taken with full boiler power. This gave the ship a mean speed of 12.028 knots, the revolu tions of the engines being, maximum, 70 ; and mean, 69-833. The mean pressure of steam in the cylinders was 24-041 b., and the vacuum in the condensers for ward, 25-sin., and aft 26-sin. The indicated horse power was 3,606.63, or considerably upwards of five times the nominal power of the engines, a propor tion greater than has been achieved at any time be fore by any screw line-of-battle ship with the same nominal engine power over the Stokes Bay trial course. With half her boiler power, which followed on her full power trials, the ship attained a mean speed of 10.655 knots, the revolutions of the engines being, maximum, 60 ; mean, 59-25. The mean pres sure of steam in the cylinders was 16-41 b., and the indicated horse power 2,117-8. In testing the ship in turning, when she had been taken off the measured mile on the finish of her full and half-boiler power runs respectively, she was found to answer her helm very readily. At full power she made a half-circle to starboard in 3 min. 40 sec., and she completed the circle in 7 min. 16 sec. To port she made the half circle in 3 min. 15 sec., and completed the circle in 6 min. 35 sec. With half-boiler power, in turning to port, she made the half-circle in 3 min. 32 sec., and completed the circle in 6 min. 57 sec. In turning to starboard her time was, half-circle, 3 min. 20 sec.; full circle, 6 min. 35 sec. The last test to which the ship's machinery was subjected on her trial was the facility with which she could be managed in obedi ence to orders sent below from the upper deck bridge, and the result of this was as follows :—Engines stopped, 21 sec. ; ditto started ahead, 27 sec. ; do. astern, 9 sec. The Kossova is an exceedingly hand some vessel, as may be imagined when we state that she was constructed from the lines of the Renown impo: line-of-battle ship, improved by the introduction into them of two or three of the best points in the lines of the Revenge, the present flagship of Rear- Admiral Hastings R.

The whole of her timbers will be again available, and are still in good condition. The Dartmouth was partially built when the new system of shipbuilding was pro posed by Mr. Reed, and the work was discontinued. A large number of artisans have been placed on board her Majesty's screw steam corvette Chal lenger, 22 guns, 1,462 tons, 400 horse power, now lying in the large basin at Sheerness, and recently paid out of commission by Capt. John J. Kennedy, C. 8., at Sheerness, who are repairing a nd refitting the vessel again as quickly as possible for recommission. The depot of the 17th Lancers, consisting of Capt. • Gonne, Lieut.

In accordance with new regulations adopted at the War-office, an order has been received at Chat ham garrison prescribing the future rate of allow ance of officers of the army when travelling on duty, without troops, at 20s. per day for general officers, 15s. a day for field officers, and 10s. per day for captains and subalterns. In addition to the various infantry depots that have arrived at Chatham, consequent on the break ing up of several of the depot battalions, the parti culars of which have been given in The Sun, the de pot companies of the 80th Regiment have also ar rived at the garrison from the 15th depot battalion at Buttevant. The strength of the depot is 6 ser geants, 2 corporals, 4 drummers, and 54 privates, together with the following officers :—Capt. J. L. W. Nunn, Lieut. W. P. Mortimer, Lieut. F. God dard, and Ensign A. H. Smith. In accordance with orders received at Chatham from the Horse Guards, the depot companies of the 81st Regiment are to remove from that garrison to Gosport. The strength of the 81st depot is 7 sergeants, 9 corporals, 3 drum mers, and 153 rank and file, together with the fol lowing officers :—Cipt. W. E. Todd, Lieut. J. A. Deans, Lieut. H. J. Faircloth, Lieut. W. H. H. Jackson, and Lieut. W. B. Knight. Mr. Richardson's experiments with a view of in troducing petroleum into the service for steam fuel have been suspended for some time in consequence of the bursting of the small grate used in the preli minary trials. The grate was of cast iron 3-Bths of an inch in thickness, and composed of several pieces of iron, with a surface of 2ft. only. It was worked under the boiler of an engine of 14-horse power, and succeeded, with four gallons of oil, in getting steam up in an hour and a half. The valve was then closed at 101 b. pressure. Steam was kept up for another hour, with the expenditure of an additional gallon of oil, the steam blowing off about half the time. The grate not being strong enough to resist the pressure opened at the joints. Mr Richardson subse quently submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty, by their desire, some working drawings of a design for a wrought-iron grate, available for practically testing theme of petroleum. The grate is now under construction in the steam factory of Woolwich dockyard. Its estimated cost is about £l5O. Mr. Richardson's design, with various ameliorations added by Mr. Trickett, inspector of machinery, su perintending the factory, was yesterday laid on the floor, and the work was then put in progress. If the result anticipated is realised, the result will be most rtant. RACING FORECASTS. (Front the Owl) _ There seems to be but little chance of any very ex citing events coming off during the present season. There are no new horses that are likely to be brought forward, and the few old platers which will be run again this year, as they have been for many years past, are not such as to create any great interest amongst the general public. The Ring, no doubt, will do its best to get up some excitement in various small matches, for the sake of the advantage to be gained by themselves in the great event which is to be decided in the autumn of this year, in the shape of the General Election Stakes, the date for which, however, is not yet fixed. The entries for this event are certain to be very large, and there will be plenty of money forthcoming at the proper time. In the meanwhile we may expect, during the summer, to see many hobbies ridden for the sake of the practice it will give those who intend to compete in the autumn. " Reform," which perhaps is the favourite horse at the present moment, has done a fair amount of work during the winter. The poor old animal has been brought out, however, so frequently, whether he was fit or not to run, that there is no question that he has suffered a good deal from the injudi cious way in which he has been treated. Belonging, as he does, to a large Confederacy, there would seem to be too many masters, and these do not appear always to agree among themselves. Some excitement was caused a few days ago by a gallop they gave him over the ground at Leeds, under the management of the trainer Baines. On this occa sion he was mounted by a new lad, the son of the veteran jockey of Richmond Park, and it was more for the purpose of trying the lad than the capabili ties of the old horse. The boy rode him very wildly, and floundered about a good deal in his saddle, but it is possible that, with a little more experience and strength, he may become a useful lad in handicaps when he is not overmatched. In this case the horse was too strong for him, and fairly ran away. ' Reform," however, is a very good animal, and, if carefully trained and ridden, will well repay those interested in him. There is some idea of his passing into the hands of Gladstone, the well-known trainer of " Financial Reform," " French Treaty," " In come Tax," and other most useful nags. a is h lik ors el e y w th hi c ch om has e wi n th ot a be g :i at m rush uch tri F ed . K bu e t wh ilyh i as ch early in the year. It is a colt by " Farmer," out of the old mare " Protection," g.d. " Conservative," by " Agitation." It is called " Malt," and is much thought of by its stable. It had a gallop on Wednesday last, but from what we hear the result was not satisfactory. There were symptoms of weakness about his pace, and rumours that he cannot stay. His pace is supposed to be good for a mile, but anything beyond that will be out of his power. An attempt was made by a mob of his admirers to get the horse taken up by Gladstone; but though the charge of it was not absolutely de clined, yet we have reason to know that that gen tleman has one or two others in his string which will completely destroy its chance of success. There is, however, a large commission out to lay upon the horse, and he will very likely go to a short price before the day of his public appearance. " Permissive Bill" is a leggy, weedy-looking ani mal, which, in our opinion, will never do much. He has no substance, and will give in the moment he is collared. He will, however, start, and may be at a rather better price before the great Stakes come off. He is at present training at Lawson's. There is a starter which at present is rather a dark one, but we have reason to know that before long he is very likely to rise to the position of second, or even first, favourite. " Recognition" is a fine horse, and shows promise of great power and en durance. He has been tried very highly, and though we fear that latterly, owing to reports of something being amiss, he has gone rather back in-the market, yet he is, we believe, in much better condition than is generally supposed, and we caution our readers against laying heavily against him. He is supported by a strong party, and, if not a winner, will cer tainly run very forward. His first appearance will depend mainly on the operations of a certain partY over the water, but his trainers here are verrOare ful, and will spare no effort to bring him out fit; Mr. Berkeley's "Vote by Ballot" will run, we suppose, as usual, to save the owner'& stake : ' he but_ he has no more chance of noose this than has j " Irish Church" and " Irish Distress" are the lot from the Sister Isle. We doubt if much will be made out of them. The first -named will most likely be steered by B. Osborne with his accustomed ability, and some day may be worth money. The latttr is much talked of in certain circles, but besides being a very moderate performer, is in very bad hands. Of Gladstone's horses " Income Tax" and " Fire Insurance" are spoken of as very promising, and most probably will carry the money of his stable. But everything in that establishment is at present kept very quiet. C. Villiers has a colt by " Poor-Law" out of " Metropolitan Distress," which is looked for with much interest, and Charles Wood will run " Indian Budget," a very respectable performer, but not in such good condition this year as the last. Colonel Sykes' " China" will, as. usual, give the public some amusement by the extraordinary riding of its gallant owner ; and Lord Westbury is likely to have some fun with " Bankruptcy," which horse, we understand, has broken down badly during the winter. Our readers will see from this resume that there is not promise of great sport this year, and that betting at St. Stephen's is likely to be flat. Our own opinion is, as we have said, that " Reform" and " Recognition" (the latter an uncertain animal) are likely to be worth attention, backing " Income Tax" and " Fire Insurance" for a place. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 31. .Two of the ablest and most prominent public men of the North have lately expressed their opinion on the state of affairs—the one privately and confiden- tially, but in words that have been promulgated far and near by the press ; the other openly, before an audience of 5,000 of his fellow-citizens. The first was Gen. Sherman ; the second, Gen. Butler. The one has the genius of silence, the other the talent of oratory. When either speaks America is glad to lis ten. In the one case it expects to hear wisdom, and in the other to be made acquainted with principles, if not with secrets. In neither instance has it been disappointed. Gen. Sherman thoroughly understands his coun trymen. Undazzled by his present enormous popu larity, he estimates their favour at its true value. He also understands the South, and for that reason is not led away by the sanguine hopes of a restora tion of the Union which have driven all classes of the Northern people well nigh wild with exultation. In a confidential discourse with a correspondent of the World at Savannah, and published at full length in that journal of yesterday, though, doubtless, with out the General's permission, he stated his opinion on the subject of popularity. " As to the popularity you speak of," said he, " I know very well of what stuff it is made. lam popular as long as lam suc cessful. Not only the American press, but the Lon don papers, praise me as the great General of the age. Why? Because I have crossed a great extent of country, and by a long and perilous march have caused an important city to fall into our hands. All this is very well. But suppose, in the campaign I am about to undertake, I meet the combined forces of Lee, Beauregard, and Hardee, and fail ; what would be my fate then ? Why, every laurel I have won, everything I have done, would be for gotten. There would not be a tree high enough to hang me upon. I should bsdragged down from the pillar of fame to rot in obscurity in some remote corner of the west ; and the great general would be a failure, an impostor." The incidental re velation herein contained is as instructive as the philosophy of the whole passage. Pcissibly, had he known that his words were to be flashed through the country over the telegraphic wires, the General would have have been more reticent, and possibly,too, if the same correspondent should again trust himself within the lines, he may receive a different reception. Being asked if he did not think the war was nearly at an end, the General replied "At an end 1 The war at an end ! So far from being at an end, the war is only about to begin. The policy of giving up their river and coast cities, although taking away some of the prestige of the Confederacy, is making it materially stronger than if it retained them in its possession ; while the opening of the same cities to trade by the Federal Government is efficiently sup plying the rebels with all the goods they used to re ceive by blockade-runners, at a cheaper price and with less risk and inconvenience to themselves." As the ;opinion thus expressed by General Sherman happens to be the opinion of General Lee, the world need not be much astonished to hear at no distant day that Charleston and Wilmington have shared the fate of Savannah, that the war of Southern in dependence has entered its second period, and that greater events than any which have preceded will signalise the progress of the opening campaign. General Butler's speech to his fellow-citizens at Lowell was of a different character, though scarcely less important than the unstudied admissions of General Sherman. It was not only a laboured vin dication of his own military career, but a studied denunciation of General Grant. Having disdain fully brushed away the accusations brought against him by the co-operating admiral at Fort Fisher, and spoken of them as " the froth which is always the accompaniment of too lively port er, " he reite rated in a manner not to be m i s taken his previous innuendo that General Grant was criminally waste ful of human life. He accepted the depreciatory epithet of the "hero of Big Bethel and Fort Fisher," which his enemies had launched at him. " I am content—nay, I claim," he said, " to be the hero of the comparatively bloodless attack on Big Bethel, and of the wholly bloodless failure of Fort Fisher. But I do not claim to be the hero of Fredericksburg, of Chancellorsville, of the Chickahominy, of the Wilderness, of Coal Harbour, nor of that charnel house of useless dead in the mine before Petersburg." Returning to the subject, he said, " The explosion at the Dutch Gap Canal did not, perhaps, make so large a hole as the explosion of the mine at Peters burg, but it was not filled like that with American dead until it ran blood." Nor was the charge of cruelty and unnecessary waste of the lives of his soldiers the only one he brought against his supe rior. He openly accused them of thwarting all efforts for the exchange of prisoners between North and South, and of purposely and unfairly leading the Confederate Commissioner astray upon the subject, and of consequently causing the death i n Southern prisons of many thousands of Federal soldiers. It is difficult to see how GeneiralouGeera t rant can rermit such assertions to be made without imself or de manding a court-martial either . up on cn can suffer a upon his assailant, or how Mr. in L cres t disaffection, Major-General to remain in thetom ol service who utters words so obviously calc ula ted if not to stir up a mutiny, the very presence of the enemy. was careful to breathe thou, bitter against Grant and against Mr. Lincoln no word of disparage with contemptuous leel Bii peace the South that Disbelieving in any ed by the sword, he urged his not conquer talgera:inst disparagem ent a w u as d i tors to sustain the Government with all their energies, and to put their utmost confidence in the President, a man who was alike " honest, patriotic, and capable." He had no faith in the recruitment of the Federal armies by means of large bounties, for large bounties had ultimately to be paid by the people, and, besides being a heavy burden upon the p00r,184 thefatal disadvantage of not procuring the s s ee erv: t e o s b o e f i th n f e b av e o s ur t men of N a . foreeci eith o e una r sy en t.L . t pt h i e .on G . elier ni a: - ! method was, like himself, clear and pr .. ecks'• e—neitlier offer toevery he :N-olttnlee m oe o rt r a e in no po r l rti ess onof thanan Southern soil, which proposed to to divide among the conquerors, as William the Norman divided among his captains and followers the acres of the Saxon people of England. It is likely that the General's method, if adopted, would be popular, and that the scramble for Southern plantations would not be so exclusively left to Irish men and Germans as the scramble for bounty money, but would be shared by a rush of New Englanders and Down Easters, glad to exchange the hard rock and bleak skies of their own bitter corner of the Union for the fertile lands and balmy skies of the South. General Butler sees as far before him as the acutest Yankee of them all, and his plans and opinions may prove to be pioneers, and prepare a way in which the public will be apt to follow. Butler has but few friends in the day of his dis grace, and will probably have fewer still if he be dismissed from the army. He has already disco vered what General Sherman expects to discover if he do not continue to gain victories—that popular favour is no better than Caius Marcius found it in Rome, and that it is as safe " to swim with fins of " lead" as to depend upon it. Some of the slavish journals which in the plenitude of his power were ready to apotheosize him as the incarnation of pa triotic loyalty, the model of soldierly virtue, and the only true andincorruptible Cato of the Re public, have now ascertained him to be as deficient in intellect as in honesty. True to the instincts of a base nature, they spurn the generous obligation of refraining to hit a man when he is • down, and hit the harder on that very account. They degrade their former Apollo into a gorilla, and shower against him all the vituperative epithets of an over-copious vocabularv. t. ::w el 1 / 4 .11e in military command of New Yorl, as in e days before Mr. Lincoln's re-election, they would grovel at his feet, as they did then ; but now that he and military power seem to be separated for ever, they call upon the Federal Government to have him shot for in citement to mutiny, as an example to every soldier and officer in the service. But Butler, rightly or wrongly, intends to make a noise in the world, and threatens to create a much greater pother when out of office than ever he created when in command. The question of the draught in this city excites increasing interest, and, it must be added, ill-will. It is not only peace journals like the Daily News, and war-Democratic but anti-Administration jour nals like the World and the Express, but such thorough supporters of the Government as the Tri bune and the New York Times that•expresses their sense of the impolicy, if not the injustice, of con tinually changing the estimate of the number to be provided by New York. It is true that a draught has been so often threatened without having been enforced, that the working classes, to whom it is most distasteful, and on whom the burden will fall most heavily, have accustomed themselves of late to regard the cry as of no more consequence than the shepherd boy's alarm of " Wolf !" in the fable ; but the need of the Government for men is this time so pressing, and recruiting by bounty has so egregiously failed in providing soldiers, either in quantity or in quality, that the alarm now entertained is far more real than on any previous occasion. To add to the unpopularity of the draught, there is a prevalent suspicion that the assessment upon the city is unfair, and is intended as a punishment upon the labouring classes, who with almost complete unanimity cast their votes for General M'Clellan at the Presidential election. Though no Govern ment could be so stupid as to act in such a manner without deserving •to be ignominiously expelled from power, the absurdity of the sus picion does not prevent it from being generally entertained by the many, and industriously com mented upon and circulated by the few, until there has grown up a state of irritation in a• high degree dangerous to the public peace. There are but 15 days before the draught must be enforced if Mr. Lincoln will not give way. In the mean while his principal supporter in the daily press, the New York -Times,- states emphatically that " if the enforcement do not lead to riots - -and bloodshed, it will not be the fault of men in position and influ ence." Both the people and the owners of real estate complain bitterly of the new assessment of the quota, from 4,400 to 21,000. It is impossible now to raise even the smaller number by means of bounties of $l,OOO a head between this and the 15th Ifebruary, and if the number be not reduced and the tune greatly extended, there is much reason to dread that when the first labourer shall be forcibly taken from his home to be converted into a soldier there will be an insurrectic n in this troublesome city of worse augury for the final success of the Federal cause than the defeat of Grant or Sherman.

" The most important news of the month is the unex pected arrival of the Beatrice, Commander Hutchinson, from the Northern Territory, with despatches to the 12th of October. The intelligence brought was very unsatisfac tory, showing that the expedition was thoroughly disor ganized, through misunderstanding between the Govern ment Resident (Colonel Finniss) andhis officers. Provisions were also reported to be short. " The country, however, so far as it has been examined, is said to be very superior for grazing and other purposes. The climate also is spoken of as not being less healthy than the generality of tropical climates. " Two of the members of the Northern Territory Expe dition have died.
