In Asthma and in Winter Cough they have never been known to fall. KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are free from every deleterious ingredient; they may, therefore, be taken P.:, all times by the most delicate female and by the youngest child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will find them invaluable in allaying the hoarseness and irritation inci dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in the prosluction of melodious enunciation, Prepared and sold in Boxes, ls. 14d.; and Tins 2s. 9d., 41. 6d., and 10s. 6d. each, by Thomas Keating, Chemist, Sm., No. 79, St Paul's Church-yard, London ; retail by all Druggists and Patent Medicine Venders in the kingdom. Ey the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inabilitY to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving cad secure through this Society. A it it 1 A ti E.

It is due to the ex-Surveyor of the Navy to state that the Minx was not designed by him, but like the notorious half-dozen batch —the Harpy, Lizard, Torch, Myr midon, Bloodhound, and Jackal—most of which are now for sale ; like the Antelope, Oberon, and Triton, built for the lonian Government, but repudiated by them on account of their inferiority —th e Minx was designed by Mr. John Edye, the sole professional ad viser of the late Surveyor of the Navy, and the first a , sistant to the present Surveyor ache Navy, The Fairy ro) a! yacht, Mare and Co. (then Ditch burn and Mare), having p'easrd Sir G. Cockburn both in respect of her lines end speed, the " deputy surveyor" was foolishly permitted (notwithstanding the failure of ti.e " halt dczen") to try his hand at a couple of screw steAtners to pos•ess, as gun• vessels, something approximating to the qualities of the Fairy. The result was, that the Teazr and Minx were con structed, the one of wood and the other of it n with engines of 100-horse power in each : they were launched about three years since and tried, when, in consequence of the usual gross errors in c.dculation, the vessels were so deep that one (Teazte-) attained a rate of speed averaging about 6i- knots, and the other (Minx) averaged about a knot faster. This would not do, and it was determined that the en gines should be taken out and others of lesser weights should be substituted. Accordingly 50- horse engines replaced the 100 in the Teazer, and she was sent to the coast of Africa, and the Minx has been kept for various experiments in rudders and high-pressure engines. So thoroughly ashamed was Sir Charles Adam of these vessels, that he deter ainA to stop the building of any more of them, and ordered the Boxer and Biter, which, as usual, had been commenced before their "pattern " models had been tried to be taken off the stocks at Chatham, and not to be proceeded with. Sir William Symonds has enoubh to answer for with respect to the construc tion of bad ships for the Royal navy, without burden ing his, conscience with the worse blunders of his shipwright adviser; and it is only fair that he should be absolved from the public reproach that attaches to the Teazer and Minx, and some score of failures from the Hermes, alias the Gulnare, down to those vessels. It should be remarked that the - pressure of the 10- horse engine was 551bs. to the square inch ; with the ordinary marine engines the pressure, most proba bly, did not exoeed 71bs. or B lbs.—Herakt. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. The Fairy Royal yacht, Commander Crispin, embarked their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and Princess Alfred at 12 25 P.M. to-day, at the Clarence-yard, and con veyed them, under the usual Royal salutes and cere monies, to Osborne, to join the Royal circle.

The Vulcan steam-frigate was taken out of the basin to-day, and instead of waiting to be taken to Chatham by the navigators of the Horatio round to Woolwich, she is to leave this port to morrow at eight A.m., and will be towed by the Black Eagle, l\laAter- Commander S.

The keel of the Malacca, a steam-frigate, ordered to be built by Mr. Moulmein, in the East Indio., was laid on September 13. The length of the keel is IE7 feet, and the height of the knight-heads on the stern from the under part of the main keel is to be 32 feet. Mr. Mould has already supplied several vessels of very creditable workmanship of the best timber the country produces. THE ROYAL YACHT AND HER Goss.--Under this head we yesterday quoted a paragraph from the United Service Gazette, setting forth the enormous cost of her Majesty's yacht, which is set don at " nearer 200,000/. thaa 100,0001.," and deprecating the expenditure of so much money upon a vessel which has done so little service as the Victoria and Albert for such outlay; showing also that the vessel is " ordered to be docked at Portsmouth to have an entire refit, and to have new boilers.planned for her," which " will be the third sot of new boilers within fire years." As such statements are naturally calculated to mislead the public, we are requested to contradict the statement as to cost, and to set forth the reason of the change of boilers, as three sets of boilers in five years bear the appearance either of gross extravagance or dangerous mismanagement. The first set of boilers, then, supplied to the Victoria and Albert were what were termed "flue" boilers. During the period comprised in the time of their being put in the vessel until she had run a season and was laid up for the next winter, " tubular" boilers had been invented, and the Admiralty, judging that a better speed could be got out of tubular then flue boilers, decided on taking the latter out, and substituting the newly-invented article. The flue boilers were then taken out of the Victoria and Albert, and put into the steam-sloop Devastation, in which ship they now remain, about to serve a threo or four years' commission. The tubular boilers put into the royal yacht about five years and a half ago h ave lasted ever since, without repair. On examination lately, however, they have been found to require re pair; the Admiralty have therefore decided on taking those boilers out (which, when repaired, are to be placed in a war steam•sloop), and giving the Queen'a vessel the benefit of all the science latterly brought to bear upon boiler making, which, as compared with those made five years and upwards ago, it is supposed and believed will furnish a much greater power in the same space, thereby accelerating the speed of the yacht half a knot or more per hour, and consequently adding to th e ecm fort and convenience of the Sovereign when travelling by sea. To prove that the Victoria and Albert has not had the money wasted upon her that the p u bli c m i g h t i n f er from the paragraph in the professional paper abovenamed, we have only t o i nstance that in foul w eather she is a most comfortable "sea boat," and as regards speed, we have merely to mention that last year she steamed from Aberdeen to Osborne-house at the average rate of 12 knots per hour, and in the sum mer steamed from Cowes roads to Cork harbour at the average speed of 11 knots 6-10ths, and after landing the Queen at Greenock, she ran Ilona that port to Cowes roads at the average rate of 11 knots 7 -10ths.-7 ifnes.

WIDOW AND ORPHAN WO noticed, a tew weeks since, the appointment of a provisional committee of compositors connected with the daily press, for the purpose of drawing up a series of rules for the guidance of a s o ciety h av i ng f o r its object the affording assistance to the families of their deceased brethren. The committee have just completed t'leir labours, and issued a set of rules for the approval of the trade. They have already received the names of about three hundred compositors, expressing their willingness to join the proposed society, and ar e d a ily enro ll ing fresh names. A public meeting of the members of the trade favourable to the object, will, we understand, be held on Saturday evening, Dec. 15, when the rules will be submitted for confirmation, and the necessary officers appointed for the management of the society.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN I very often think upon The expedition of Sir John ; And oft my heart exclaims aleck, I wish friend Frank were safely back. I greatly pity his condition In this protracted expedition. How very cold Sir John must feel, Ills very life-blood must congeal. I really hope that poor Sir John Has one of Moses' Wrappers on, Like what I bought the other day, For very, very little pay. I'll warrant that the wind and snow, However they might fall and blow, Would find a formidable foe In such a famous Paletot, As that obtained, so very low, At Moses' out.and-out Depot. Sir John with such a coat, I know, Would feel his body 11 a glow ; And I, of course, shall find it so. Much, much to Moses' Mart I owe, And therefore will I often go To purchase at their famed Depot.
