GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author cf " Recol lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even t o p urc h ase b rea d. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his br o th er, a c l ergyman. and the small income which he deriv e d f rom th e i nterest o f a sum charged on t h e family estate ceased with his life ; whil e th e sum s he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to tho 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, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro 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, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refusedadmittance, andhave 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 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 ?

Yesterday afternoon a numerous and influentia deputation from the proprietors of stage carriages in England, Scotland, and Wales, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at his official residence in Downing-street, to present a memorial on the subject of mileage duties. Mr. AYRTON, M.P., briefly introduced the depu tation. A Mr. BRADFIELD handed in a memorial setting forth at length the grievances complained of. It was shown, for instance, that the present mileage duties took 9 per cent. of the receipts, or 9s. 7d. out of every 20s. net profit, from the London Gene ral Omnibus Company ; and 9, 10, and 15 per cent. from the gross receipts of other 'busses. It was sug gested, inter alia, that the mileage duty should be abo lished, and the annual licence remain alone, but at an increased rate of 10s. per annum on each pas senger the conveyance is licensed to carry. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER asked if they proposed to take the 9s. 7d. now paid by the London General Omnibus Company to the Govern ment for themselves, or to give the public the bene fit of it. Mr. BRADFIELD was glad that the question had been put. Though the company had paid £51,000 as a tax, they had only received £B,OOO for traffic pther than passengers ; they had reduced 3d. fares to 2d., 6d. fares to 4d. in a great many cases, and if the duty were reduced, or an adjustment made in some of the modes suggested, no doubt the public would get the full benefit. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not doubt that the reduction of the duties would in a great many cases stimulate competition and reduce the fares. But he should like to know whether the deputation were prepared to make any definite proposition on that point. Mr. BRADFIELD said it would be impossible to do so under the ever varying circumstances of the trade. Mr. MACKAY, as chairman of a large company in the North of England, and as the first person who introduced the large omnibuses in Glasgow and Manchester, now so general throughout the country, strongly urged the abandonment of the mileage duty, and the substitution instead of 10s. additional on the annual licence for carriages. Speaking on behalf of the trade at large, he would say that they did not so much object to pay the money as the way in which it was raised. They knew that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer must have money ; but they objected to the system of espionage under which their business was at present carried on, and the constant interference which the system caused, not only with the proprietor's use of his own property, but the convenience and comfort of the public. A change in the mode of levying the tax would enable the authorities to dispense with the services of the staff of officers who bad to watch all con nected with stage and posting carriages. As to fixing any definite fare, that he thought was impos sible. The price of provender varied continually, the different seasons involved the carrying on of the business under different conditions, and they had to accommodate themselves to the wants of districts widely different in almost all respects, so that he did not see how they could fix even a maximum. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that if the mileage duty was taken off, it would, in fact, sweep away the greater portion of the revenue from that source. The London General Omnibus Com pany paid £51,000 in duty, and only £3,000 for licences. Mr. BRADFORD suggested that the addition to the licence, and the probability that many stage car riages would be started in the country where none now existed, would be found in the long run to compensate the revenue for the change. Mr. BRIGHT, M.P., said lie could quite under stand that it was impossible for the deputation to make any specific statement as to the fares if the duty were abolished or reduced, because it was evident that the public carriages were run upon lines some of which paid better than others, and the ultimate price must be left to competition. Under the exist ing system, that competitionhad hitherto kept down the profits in this particular trade to not more than the ordinary returns from trade, if not below•; but his opinion was, that many hundreds of ktage car- !fit all Libraries, in Two Vols., DION AND THE SIBYLS, a Novel.

He supported the change, therefore, not for a class of tradesmen, but for the benefit of the community. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he really very much agreed with the view which had been expressed. It was after all only a question of money, and on that point he was afraid there was a public delusion. He had seen statements as to the prospects of the Exchequer in some journals which, to use a common phrase, " ought to be well informed on the subject," which he only wished were true. (Hear, hear.) Ile could only say that when ever the time came when this tax could be dealt with it should have fair consideration. He did not defend it as a tax, but would simply say that he had no doubt the Inland Revenue officers in collecting it used the greatest consideration in the discharge of what must be an irksome duty to them. (Hear, hear.) They must, however, collect the tax as long as it was the law ; but he quite agreed that the removal of any undue restriction upon locomotion must be a great object with any Government which had in view the welfare and interests of the com munity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. AYRTON thanked the right hon. gentleman for his courteous reception, and the deputation withdrew. Launch of the Northumberland. ----r-- To-day another addition to our fleet of ironclads will be made by the launch of this huge vessel from the yard of the Millwall Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales are to be present, and Lady Percy, as representing the noble house of Northumberland, is to name the ship, which will be sent afloat under every circumstance of ceremony. It is not too much to say that the Northumberland is deserving of these honours—indeed of the highest —though, looking on her merely as an instrument of defence, we can scarcely hail her accession to the fleet with as much satisfaction as we could have greeted another on theplan of the Warrior. As a specimen of ironclad architecture, the Northumberland is beyond all doubt the finest model and the finest example of skilled workmanship ever sent afloat ; but as a mere instrument of defence she is much behind both the Warrior and Black Prince. The fact is painful, but no ironclads have yet come up to the conditions of excellence of the two which were first built, and which we have just named. In speed, in strength, and in seagoing qualities not only have the Black Prince and Warrior not been equalled by more recent productions, but all our later vessels have shown such a steady deterioration in almost all these qualities as to make it a serious question whether it is wise to continue building on our present plans. At first two distinct classes of vessels, known as' the Warriors and the Minotaurs, were designed and built. The Warrior and her sister vessel, the Black Prince, were ships of 6,100 tons, 380 ft. long by 58ft. broad, plated only over the midship portions of their broadsides with 43-in. armour, backed up with 18in. of teak, angle irons, and an inner iron skin. These were only meant to carry 46 guns, 26 being protected within the ar mour, 10 on the spar deck, and 10 more at the bows and stern, which have no armour, but which are so subdivided by a webbing of iron compartments that they might be riddled with shots without much danger to the main part of the ship. Each of these vessels of the Warrior class is driven by en gines of 1,250-horse power, nominal. They have hitherto proved not only the fastest ships of the navy, but, from their bow and stern, not being over borne by heavy armour, they are buoyant and tole rably easy even in a head sea and very broken water. In an unfortunate hour, however, the Ad miralty undertook to improve on these fine models, and vessels of what is called the Minotaur class were ordered. These ships include the Minotaur, the Agincourt, and the Northumberland. They are of 6,621 tons, 400 ft. long by 59ft. 3in. beam, and plated from stem to stern with Skin. armour, in stead of 4iin., on a backing of 9in. of teak, instead of 18in., as in the Warriors. Their horse-power, too, was increased from 1,250 to 1,350, with which a speed of 16 knots was expected, and as Mr. Penn, who makes the engines, promises it, there is every likelihood of its being attained. Hardly were these vessels designed and commenced when the result of experiments at Shoeburyness proved that a mistake had been made in diminishing the teak backing, a mistake which the additional inch of armour by no means compensated. The end of all the experiments at Shoeburyness has been to show that the amount of resistance of armour to shot depends generally less upon the thickness of the plate than the thickness and system of the backing. Thus the Warrior target, with 4iin. of iron and 18in. of teak, stood fire obstinately, while the Minotaur target of Skin., with only 10in. of teak behind it, literally crumpled up under the fire of the smooth bore 68-pounder. But when this most unpleasant discovery was made all the Minotaurs were too far advanced to be altered, so that in these magnificent looking vessels we have really got only much more expensive Warriors, with less powers of resistance than the Warriors possess. The Northumberland, like all the Minotaurs, as they are called, is built on the ram system, having what is termed a swan-breast protruding forward beneath the bow, under water. The stem of this portion, which would have to resist the first shock of a blow in running down a ship, is a most gigantic forging, as is also the huge iron beam which forms the stern frame. Every part of the vessel is of iron, even to the spar deck, though the metal here, which is less than din. thick, is, of course, covered with wood, in the ordinary fashion, and the iron is only meant as a protection from fire in cases of shells coming inboard. Every part of the hull is divided into longitu dinal and transverse water-tight compartments. There are no less than 15 of these, which not only insure her safety in case of accidents below the water-line, but add immensely' to the stiffness of the whole ship, which is virtually made by these means one huge hollow wrought-iron girder, of im mense strength. The Northumberland has a different system of armour plating from her sisters, the Agincourt and the Minotaur. The experience gained with the Achilles seems to show clearly that the limit up to which seagoing frigates can carry armour has not only been reached, but rather overpassed. Thus it Mr. has been that, in arming the Northumbe rland, Reed has suggested an alteration which has certainly been an improvement, though the idea is taken from what the French have done in the Solferino i and Magenta. This alte ration consists n not casing the vessel with armour entirely at the stem and stern, but merely over those parts taking a broad belt of iron above and below the water-line, th e great mass of armour for the midships, res erving w hi c h enclose her hea v y g uns. Thus th e North umberland's armour, for the length of about 100 ft. f o rward, is only a belt of about 10ft. broad, an d for the same length at the aftermost part of the vessel it is only Bft. broad, going to a depth of 6ft. below the water forward and 4ft. aft. For a length of 200 ft. amidships, however, the whole body of the vessel is cased with plates up to the main deck. Here the armour rises to a height of 16ft. above the water, and goes to a depth of Gift. below it. This main portion of the ship is further protected by transverse bulkheads, plated with 4i -inch iron, inclosing the battery inside the ship as in a box. These armour coverings extend from the floor of the main deck to the spar deck. Above and beyond these protections the Northumberland has a semi circular shield, also 4i-inch iron, which com pletely inelm‘s her bows at the forea6tle. Within Tu r_,C,.

This is lft. higher than the portsills of the Warrior, and no less than Gft. 4in. higher than those of La Gloire. All the portholes are made on the im proved principle which is almost peculiar to the ironclads, and are very narrow. She is, however, only intended to carry 22 guns on the main deck, of which four are to be 30 0 -pounders, and 18 nine ton 150-pounders. On the spar-deck will be four Armstrong 100-pounder shell guns. Like the rest of her class, the Northumberland is provided with a deck tower, as strong as teak and iron armour can make it. This tower is unusually high in the Northumberland, and is divided into two stories, the lower to be occupied by riflemen only, while the upper storey is to be used by those in command of the ship, and from which also the vessel can be steered in action. A great addition has been made to the ship, since she was first laid down, i n the shape of a poop and topgallant forecastle. The poop gives ample space and accommodation for the cabins necessary for an admiral and staff, thus fitting the vessel for a flagship, which the arrange ments of the earlier iron-clads did not admit of. At the time that the Warrior made her trial trips it was pointed out in The Sun that it was little less than absurd to give these enormous vessels—double the length of any line-of-battle ships in the service —only a frigate's crew, and only the traditional three masts. The experience gained by working the Warrior has shown that these remarks were just, and the Minotaurs are now each to have crews of 750 men, and five instead of three masts. All these masts are of iron, and of nearly the same height, which certainly detracts somewhat from the beauty of the vessel's " sit" upon the water. Four of the masts are square-rigged, the afterznost mizzen having fore-and-aft sails only. Every part of the ship which has been executed by the Dlillwall Company is really the very perfec tion of iron workmanship. As an iron structure it is impossible to imagine anything more perfect tha' 4 her finish. Strange to say, she is to be launched to-day with almost all her iron plates fixed to her, and, in:fact, with the exception of rigging and en gines, almost ready for sea. Internally and on deck she has in her fittings an the beautiful finish of a. private yacht. The perfection with which her ar mour-plates are fitted on makes her seem as smooth as if they were varnished. All that skilled work manship can do has been done for her, and we feel sure she will prove a credit and an ornament to our iron navy. RECENT WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London News) The will of the Countess Dowager of Dundonald, relect of the late Right Hon. Thos.
