Reform Demonstrations are at this period so en tirely uncalled for that no good judge of political matters can take interest in these celebrations that are succeeding each other with so much rapidity in the north of England. If the object be to change the Government it is a most unworthy one, and if it be to keep the members of the League promi nently before the public it is a very contemptible one, and a very mean ambition can alone prompt men to sacrifice public ends for such purposes. Leeds was the chosen spot for yesterday's exertions, but the affair did not approach in grandeur that of Birmingham the day before. The chief thing to notice was the absence of any excitement, it being generally understood that there was nothing to agitate for in reality, and that the only object to attain was to give expression to the desire for Reform that universally existel As on the pre vious occasions of this sort the speakers in the out-door part of the proceedings strongly advo cated " manhood suffrage," and consequently con demned the Bill of the Goverment. Mr. GLADSTONE was not so much of a hero among these zealous Reformers as might have been expected, but pos sibly they believed that he was not of a very con genial temper. A public meeting was held in the evening at the Town-exchange, which was not crowded, nor was there much excitement or eagerness displayed. Mr. BE ALES tried hard to in fuse some energy into his hearers by speaking in the most extravagant manner, and declaring that the House of Commons was corrupt, and that there were traitors in the Liberal camp, winding up with the assertion that it was not " idle now to say that the temper of the people on this matter was dan gerous, and they intended to go to Hyde-park on the 6th of May." It is a very different thing to go with the stream and to go against it, and so Mr. BEALES and his friends will find. As for their de sire to confuse the state of the public mind, stop traffic, and cause serious losses to trade in the middle of the season, it is a sure proof that they are totally unfit to be the guides and directors of others, and no doubt many whom they may hitherto have influenced will be of the same opinion before long. Why, at a moment when the worst part of the dis cussion is over in the House, should they seek to revive the clamour that took place last year, and to give rise to those angry feelings which existed at that time►. All this made-up indig nation and would-be agitation is very ridicu lous, and can never reach the desired goal of creat ing discontent and giving rise to clamour. Mr. FORSTER, M.P., said he came from the house of Commons after a division in which the Liberal party was defeated, but lie would not allow that the " Radical Reformers" were a defeated party in the eyes of the country, for their prin ciples had been gaining ground, and one party vied with the other in professing them to gain popular support. If this be the case we wonder that they are not more contented at the aspect of affairs, and do not reflect that they have a moral victory to rejoice at. But this will not do, and it must be evident to all, not only that they have won the day, but that their notions have been carried out to the fullest extent. Only thus can we explain the course pursued by these Reform virtuosi in the getting up of demonstrations, and such like ceremonies. Mr. FORSTER, it must be said, spoke fairly enough in some parts of his speech about the measure of the Government. He said that he thanked the Tories for having done this much, " that they did not base the franchise upon the value of the house in which a man lived, but upon a far better principle, the principle that the head of a family should have a vote. This bill opened the franchise to seven hun dred thousand householders under ten pounds, and so far it was good." Mr. FORSTER did not agree with Mr. ERNEST JONES in thinking that Mr. GLADSTONE'S letter was intended to imply his re signation of the leadership of the Opposition, and iu his endeavours to show that the right hon. gen tleman was most deserving of confidence and sup port he made some awkward revelations, such as saying that Mr. ROEBUCK inspired greater faith in some than Mr. BRIGHT did. Mr. STANSFELD also protested against the sup posed resignation of Mr. GLADSTONE, declaring that it would look as if he thought the Liberal party incompetent. lle seemed to look forward to another trial of strength beforo long; but, if Mr. GLAD STONE'S letter meant anything, it meant that he would not make another move this session, and he can hardly play false and loose with his party and the public after this fashion. He wound up by the declaration that the Liberal party would degrade it, and pronounced its own doom if it allowed this " illusory measure to pass without attempting to mould it in the manner suggested by some of the amendments now on the table of the llouse." In short we gather from the tenour of these remarks that Mr. STANSFELD thinks they have lost the battle, but that they had better have ano ther, but we imagine that he will find it a very " forlorn hope" indeed to undertake such a con test. At Newcastle-on-Tyne there was a confer ence of Reformers, and at Yeovil also a similar affair took place. At both these places expressions of regret at the retirement of Mr. GLADSTONE were general, so that Mr. STANSFELD'S motion must have been more indicative of his wishes than of the reality of the matter. While Mr. GLADSTONE, then, may be thought to have resigned, these Reformers have come only too prominently forward, but the country desires neither the one nor the other to succeed, but will rest satisfied if the present com prehensive measure before the House of Commons be carried. No more appropriate site could have been selected for the statue of RICHARD COBDEN than a pro minent position in the city of Manchester, neither could a more suitable president of the inauguration been chosen than the gentleman whose name was so long and so worthily associated with the chairman ship of the Anti Corn-Law League. The statues and .memorial.:, of the great leading c ty were cer tainly incomplete so long as the eminent Free-trader found no place among them, and the enthusiasm manifested by the spectators of the b.fsutiful statue •'I HE SLN, LONE ON, WEDNESDAY EVENur\G, APED, 24 1867 unveiled on Monday last was a fitting expression of the warmth and fidelity with which his memory is cherished by the people of Manchester. The statue, which is the work of Mr. MARSHALL WOOD, is a great success. It is of bronze, twelve ,feet high, and represents the de parted statesman in the act of addressing the House of Commons. The site is the centre of St. Ann's-square, and fronts the intended new Royal Exchange—a most appropriate position for the statue of him who did so much to facilitate the free intercourse of nations, and who rested his commer cial philosophy on higher principles than those of mere trade and barter. The ceremony of unveiling the statue was attended by a large number of Mr. COBDEN'S friends, asso ciates, and political followers, while the general spectators numbered several thousands. The ad dresses delivered on the occasion were all simple and effective, referring to the character and achieve ments of the great Free-trader. Mr. GEORGE WIL SON, in his speech, referred especially to the fact that Mr. COBDEN was no favourite of fortune—a fact which should, he said, afford encouragement to the young men of Manchester. "He had no advan tages of birth or education above the average of young men who occupy a similar position to his at the present time. If you had passed down Mosley-street thirty odd years ago you would have found him seated at his desk attending to his correspondeece or striving to build up a large and prosperous business ; but you would have found also that he always possessed leisure to give attention to public subjects or to the applica tions made for - charitable purposes." From the first he desired to succeed in business and gave close at tention to it, but he never desired to amass wealth for its own sake or for the sake of self-gratifica tion. He always desired to benefit those about him, and he was eventually enabled to do so on an enduring and extended scale. The young man who made a comparatively humble beginning closed his career as one of the most distinguished men in Europe, leaving a name and an example behind him which his countrymen will long cherish and honour. The Reconstruction Bill is still the subject of active discussion in America. Many of the States are so unwilling to receive it that they have orga nised a constitutional opposition to its further pro gress, and since it is worse than useless to hope for any concession from Congress, as the PRESIDENT, though openly opposed to the measure in theory and in practice, is powerless to hinder it, the Supreme Court offered the only remaining chance of legal and constitutional means of redress. The City of Antwerp, from New York on the 13th, brings us intelligence respecting the progress of the appeal. The Supreme Court heard the arguments on the Mississippi petition for an injunction to restrain the PRESIDENT from executing the Reconstruction Bill on the 12th inst. The Attorney-General argued that the official dignity of the PRESIDENT removed him from the action of the Court. If the injunction were granted he should, he said, advise the PRESI DENT not to obey, which would produce a serious collision between the Executive and the judicial branches. The PRESIDENT, argued the Attorney- General, had exhausted his rightful opposition to the Bill by the veto, and his only duty now was to execute the law as enacted. To this Mr. WALKER, on behalf of the petition, replied that the PRESIDENT had himself declared the bill to be unconstitutional, and that the Supreme Court was created to decide contested points in constitutional law.. The official dignity of . the PRESIDENT could not, he contended, justify his executing laws enacted in defiance of the Constitution, and the consequence of his doing so would be more disastrous than the result of his collision with the Court. The case, of course, was far from being settled when the mail left, and the arguments were g►oing on, though we have had later news by means of the cable. The States have for the most part promised to abide by the decision of the Court, so that although there are several more petitions, we believe, to be presented, it is probable the result will be that there will be no active interference with the execution of the bill. The Southern States have now reached a condition from which it is desirable to save them at all hazards, so that anything definitely settled will be a positive advantage. The worst of it is that no one North or South can put any trust in Radical pro fessions, and although the extreme party have put forward this Reconstruction Bill, as the condition of the restoration of the Southern political privileges, there is no guarantee that they will abide by their own professions. Happily the Democrats are gradually gaining strength, and the public confi dence in Radicalism has been shaken by a very prac tical test—the condition of the finances. This is the argument most likely to prevail in the North ; and since it has become quite evident that so far from adding to the national prosperity the unchecked swayof Radicalism is ruining the country,there is hope that more enlightened and moderate counsels may prevail, and that the very extremity and intolerance of the dominant faction may in the end defeat itself. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) A feeling of uneasiness,PA s n , o T t u e,s t o d a say a Evening. yal a rin s beginning to actuate many classes in Paris in re gard to Luxembourg and the attitude assumed by Prussia, which according to various articles is one of defiance. The best description I have seen in any of the papers to-day of what is called the situa tion is the following from the Siecle : "Always the same uncertainty relative to the issue of the question which is uppermost in every mind. This state of anxious expectation cannot last. There must be a solution. The present state of things is no longer peace. We suffer all the in conveniences of these moments when the future is uncertain or the apprehension of a crisis in which all the interests of the nation will be engaged weighs more heavily than would a clear and pre cise position, however grave it might be. 'We hope that diplomacy will not sanction an eternal ex. change of proctocols of doubtful utility, and that haste will be made to deal with the vital point of the question and settle it in one way or another. The correspondence from Germany has changed its pacific tone. On the other hand we see that Bavaria, become the humble satellite of Prussia, is using great efforts .to draw Austria into the Prus sian alliance. 'The mission of M. de Taufkirchen has no other object. The Austrian Cabinet resist It declares through the medium of its officious journals that Austria will maintain strict neutrality as long as possible. Attentive neutrality appears to be the word of order which prevai:s there, just as last year about the same time it existed with us. Will this line of policy succeed better for Austria than it did with us ? Experience is not favourable to an affirmative reply. However, all hope of arriv ing at a compromise acceptable to both countries is not yet lost." Sonic support is given to the favourable aspira tions of the Siecle by letters from Berlin known to emanate from well-informed writers, which state that Prussia is disposed to make great concessions. On the other hand the Gazette de l'Alleinagne de Nord, known to be the organ of M. Bismark, argues that Prussia cannot accept a compromise. " As far as regards Germany," it says " we are certainly desirous to preserve peace, but peace can only be really maintained when nations seriously desire to fulfil the duties imposed by their honour and dignity. Germany will do both, and we find the two things expressed in the speech of the King from the throne. Prussia maintains in the question of Luxembourg, in her own name and in that of Germany, the statu quo ante, which is sanctioned by international treaties. This point of view would be changed from the very moment that any alleged right of Prussia might appear doubtful, because negociations would take place to suppress the doubt." According to another Paris paper, the views of England, Russia, and Austria have been officially communicated to the Prussian Cabinet, but per haps some little del ly may arise because M. de Bismark is absent in Pomerania, and nothing will be resolved upon until his return to Berlin. A circumstance unparalleled in the history of art is mentioned respecting one of the exhibitors, at the Palais de l'lndustrie, M. Jean Frederick-niximilian de Waldek, a native of Vienna, but a naturalised Frenchman. He was born on the 16th of March, 1766, and consequently attained his 101st year on the 16th of March last. M. Waldek is in perfect health, and he has two oil paintings at the Exhi bition, which he finished in the course of last year. He was a pupil of Vien, David, and Prudhon. A remarkable case of longevity is noticed at Hailigenstadt, where a shoemaker named Joseph Tanod, a native of Hungary, died some days ago at the age of 114. He preserved his sense of sight and hearing up to the time of his death. He left his occupation of shoemaker in the course of his career, became a soldier, and in a campaign against the Turks he received five wounds. At the expi ration of his military service he seemed to be of opi nion that there is nothing like leather, for he re sumed his trade of shoemaker, and stuck to his last to the lait, although he abandoned it at first. He had never been ill, and was very sober. For 11 years he never ate anything but meat. He was an inveterate smoker, his pipe being very seldom out of his mouth either night or day. At the extra races at la Marche one of the prizes is a curious piece of art (the Welter Stakes.) This article is an elegant inkstanJ, mounted with brass gilt, and formed out of one of the hoofs of the cele brated steeplechaser Africain. A Brussels letter states that the Municipal Coun cil of that city have received a proposal from an English company to erect a Crystal Palace there to be finished in 1869. The Belgian Government is to open at that date an international universal Ex hibition, which is to be required every ten years. The city is to furnish the site, which at present serves for the exercise of the troops, and at the ex piration of 90 years is to become possessed of the Palace. The proverb says that persons who live in glass houses should never throw stones. An enterprising builder in the town of St. Etienne is at present con structing a glass house, so that probably he has no such intention. Cato said that he should like to live in a glass house, in order that everyone might see what was going on there. The house now being built has a wall on one side, but the three other sides have no other support for the five stages than slight stone pillars and boards. There are no win dows, and the edifice from the summit to the foun dation will be like a bird-cage. At each story, and along the whole breadth of the facades, is an iron grating, which will be glazed. Theresa, the celebrated Cafe Concert singer, who could be heard in Paris for a trifle, is engaged at the Alcazar at Marseilles, which is to be transformed into a theatre. The prices are to be absurdly high, 20 francs, 10 francs, and 5 francs. A local paper is of opinion that the speculation will be a failure, and that nobody will pay such an amount, even for Theresa. A report has been spread in Paris of the de ith of Marshal Forey. The report is not confirmed, but, according to a telegram received by the Govern me•lt, the Marshal has been suddenly attacked with inflammation of the brain, and he is in a very se rious condition. Much has lately been said about a very formid able weapon of war of a peculiar kind. It is a sniall brass cannon, very portable, and made in three pieces. The invention is attribute:l to a captain of artillery connected with a manufactory of arms establishe 1 by the Emperor at St. Cloud about a year ago. Some experiments have been made in the ditches of the fortifi , mtions, and the results obtained wore tremendous. The front of a battalion of infantry may be destroyed by the dis charge of a single piece. The projectiles used are what are called Biscayans, which will reach a dis tance of from 1,80 0 to 2,000 yards. By means of au ingenious tourniquet, w hich may be worked by a 4 si O to 50 single artilleryman,timesin a m inute. Some exp er i men t s have the cannon may b e fi re d f rom been made with the cannon at Montrouge, but it is difficult to form a judgment respecting it, because on these occasions it is concealed from view, but its destructive effects have been witnessed without seeing the instrument itself. Although it was supposed that all the marvels of the Great Exhibition had reached their destination, three magnificent works of art have arrived since my last visit, and they daily excite the admiration of hundreds. First is a capacious ewer or jug, of graceful formation of silver, and partly gilt. Tfle handle is composed of a double-headed serpent and dragon, an idea as fanciful as it is striking. The other portion is in repousse, and finely model led by Monti. The general design (by Owen Jones) is worked out with consummate taste and skill by Messrs. C. F. Hancock and Co. The next magnificent object which has delighted the French as well as the English is a silver vase with beauti fully worked flowers. Round the body is a group of figures modelled by Armistead. It is pierced throughout, and the figures are in full relief, after the style of Firmingo. The other unrivalled work of art is a large silver vase, also partly gilt. Two subjects are illustrated, one Mazeppa, the other from Don Juan—Haidee in the cave on the sea shore. The handles are composed of scrolls and sea horses. At the foot are beautifully modelled bouquets of flowers. The horses' heads are iu high relief. The group represents Alexander taming the Bucephalus. I need hardly add that these costly and remarkable objects concentrate attention upon the stall of Messrs. Hancock and Co. " How lovely," say the English " Oh, que c'est beau," say the French. SIIIILIBUS ?—Mr. Bright still has an extraordinary tendency to employ the word "dirty." Last session the Adull.imites were accused by him of entering into " a dirty conspiracy"—Earl Gros venor, Lord Elcho, and others being of course among the number of the di r t y consp i rators. Now, again, this session, the same unsavoury word passes frcin Mr. Bright's lips ; it did so, in fact, as recently as Monday, when, in the course of his comments upon the Government Bill, the mem ber for Birmin g h am exc l a i med to hi s constituents, " These are the mean an d contemp tible methods by which these per sons [ mean i ng , 1 - 7 the way, the Cabinet Ministe rs ], w hil e pre t en ding to give, seek in every little, dirty way to exclude you from the franchise." The frequent recurrence of the word in Mr. Bright's harangues about Reform recalls to one's remembrance, almost inevitably, at any rate as by an echo of Pope's famous illustration through the spider of the building up of sophistries, again and again, after they have again and yet again been swept away like so many cobwebs—the poet telling us that it's all in vain— " The creature's at his dirty work again !" It recalls to recollection also that ridiculous expla nation by some wag of the rea9oa why the coste,r , - monger, when r ili ng hi s " m oke" to market, gra is _the expl c t l i t i t e al t l a y g ilo e f ts ti sak le h au e i i back i i mdhe a l m ost seated upon tnatiou attributing this phenomenon to the " affinity of parts." SINGULAR DISCOVERY.—Some human remains have been found in the Colne at Colchester. A piece of a wheel and a railway chair were found to be attached to the head and portions of the body. A leather travelling bag was also found. The remains aro believed to be those of Mr. Richard Worswick, railway contractor, who was missed from Colchester some 18 months since, while en gaged in superintending the formation of a short line from St. Botolph-street to the Hythe and Rtst-street. Since the disappearance of the deceased he has been declared a bank rupt, but his estate has paid 20s. in the pound and left a balance over. The deceased is said to have been a man of cheerful temperament. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S T ELEGRA MS.) PORTUGAL. LISBON, April 23 (Evening). The Chamber of Peers, on the motion of Count Lavradio, has postponed granting permission to the King to travel abroad. Turnlilts continue in Oporto. Three regiments and a war steamer are being despatched to that city from Lisbon. SERVIA. BELGRADE, April 24. Scrvian troops have left this capital for Semen - dria and FeAllan, to garrison those fortresses in place of the Turks. AMERICA. (Arrival of the City of Antwerp.) NEW YORK, April 13. Contrary to general newspaper predictions, the Senate did ratify the Russian-American Treaty. The report that the purchase-money is to be ten instead of seven millions dollars is contradicted. It is still believed that the House of Representatives may refuse to make the necessary appropriation. The argument of llon. Robert J. Walker, in behalf of the Mississippi Injunction petition before the Supreme Court yesterday, was lengthy and able. The principal points in it, however, have been transmitted by telegraph. As soon as the Court decides whether or not the petition may bo filed the Georgia petition will be brought up. The main point made by the Attorney-General against the filing of the Mississippi petition, which was, that the President, by reason of his official posi tion and dignity, was beyond the jurisdiction of the Court in such cases, v.nnot be opposed to the filing of the Georgia petition in which the President is not to be enjoined. It is under stood that Secretary Stanton will perkmally contest the privilege in the Georgia case. In the debate upon the question of adjournment in the Senate yesterday, Mr. Doolittle made a forcible speech in defence of the President's course in regard to civil appointments. lle declared the President had exercised only a Constitutional right in appointing to office those favourable to his policy. Moreover, the President had generally appointed men who had fought and bled for the country, while the Senate had rejected them for purely poli tical reasons. The adjournment of the Senate on Tuesday will leave many prominent offices vacant for want of action upon Mr. Johnson's appointments. There are numerous strikes throughout the coun try among mechanics, miners, and mill operatives ; and greatdisturbance in business has already resulted in consequence in some sections. Members of the firm of Fraser, Trenholm, and Co. have been notified to appear before the Judiciary Committee in Washington, on the 10th May, to testify relative to blockade running matters. Whether this is merely in connection with the settlement of private claims referred to the com mittee, or whether in relAtion to the Alabama claims, does not appear. General Sherman goes out, on leave of absence, upon the steamer, Quaker City, to- . day on an expe dition to the holy Land. Secretary Seward has addressed a letter to numerous American represen tatives abroad commending the General to their hospitality, and stating that any attention shown him in foreign countries will be gratefully appre ciated by the Government and people of the United States.

MARK-LANE. There was a very poor show of English wheat here to day, and most of the samples were in middling condition For all kinds the demand ruled inactive, at prices about equal to Monday. Foreign wheat, the show of which was by no means ex tensive, moved off slowly, but at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain commanded extreme rates. There was a moderate inquiry for barley, at previous rates. The demand for malt was in a sluggish state, at the late decline. The supply was tolerably good. Oats were inactive, at 6d per qr. lower. The supply of foreign was extensive. Deans and peas were dull, but not cheaper. Flour sold at Monday's prices. Seeds and cakes were a slow sale. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

DEFEAT OF THE TURKS IN CANDIA.—The follow ing intelligence from Crete has been received by a firm in Manchester:—" On the 28th of March the Turkish army attacked St. Basilo, and advanced against the village Saint John, where our people met them, and, after a battle which lasted from nine in the morning till eight at night, the Turks were forced to retire, and our troops pursued them up to their lines at Guseliano, where the regulars took refuge, and the native armed Mussulmans in Rathymus. In various engagements outside Rathymus the Greeks were successful, driving the Turks from every post with heavy loss. The Greek chief, Hausi Michall, attacked the Turks close to the fortress Causa. This battle was fought in sight of the foreign consuls, who were on board the men of war anchored at nat. All on the ishnd are full of hope and courage, and those inhabiting the plains who sub mitted before are arming again. The national government sent to the consuls protests signed by thousands from the districts of Salino and Mytopotemi against their pretended representatives." —Manchester Examiner. A CENTENARIAN.—Mr. Robert Bain, for many years in the service of Lord Kinnaird, died recently in Bruce's Land, Gray's-lane, Lochoo. Mr. Bain was the oldest man probably in the county (if not in the country), for he was born in Morayshire in the year 1758, and had therefore reached the long term of 103 years. He was very cheerful, and greatly given to telling stories of events which took place in the locality of his boyhood 100 years ago. Wo understand that Lord Kinnaird, in whose ser vice he was, had continued to render him very substantial aid, so that his condition was very comfortable. He re twined his mental faculties quite clear to the last.—Dundee Advertiser. Naval and Military In telligeLce. After attending Divine Service on Sunday at the Chapel in Devonport dockyard, Mr. Corry, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and those colleagues who are with him, drove to the new forts at Creasdon and Tregantle in Cornwall, erected for the protec tion of the arsenal. When this inspection was con cluded they returned by Mount Edgcumbe to Cremyl!, and then went on board the yacht En chantress in Ilamoaze. Mr. Corry was prevented by an attack of rheumatism from leaving the En chantress in Hamoaze on Monday. Vice-Admiral Sir J. C. Dacres, K.C.8., one of the sea Lords, left her at 9 a.m., and went on board the gunnery ship Cambridge, Capt. Charles J. F. Ewart, and exer cised the men. At 11 o'clock, accompanied by Lord Lennox, Capt. Brandreth, Mr. Ward Hunt, Major Clark, and Mr. Yorke, his private secretary, the Admiral landed in the Royal William Victualling Yard, when he was received by Capt.-Superintendent Edward Codd, and the principal officers. They visited several of the stores, the mill, and bakery, and inspected the books in the office of the Store keeper, and then proceeded to the Royal Marine Barracks. Especial attention was paid to the new front in Durnford-street, and to the ground recently purchased from the Great IVestern Dock Company, on which several additional buildings are to be erected. A company of 24 men having parsed through the Snider breech-loading drill in their presence, they left for the Royal Naval Hospital, and there visited most of the wards belonging to the officers and to the men, and appeared to take much interest in several of the cases of accident. By the time they had inspected the men's smoking sheds and the kitchen and store-rooms it was 6 o'clock. The Enchantress left Plymouth at 7 the next morning for Dartmouth. The Racoon, 22, for the Cape of Good Hope, the Rodney, 78, for Japan, and the Vestal, 4, for the West Coast of Africa, left Plymouth Sound yester day morning. The Prussian sloop of war Niobe, 14, from the West Indies, for the Baltic, was towed into the offing yesterday morning by her Majesty's steamtug Scotia. The armoured screw iron frigate Minotaur, 6,621 tons, 1,350 nominal horse power of engines, Capt. J. G. Goodenough, just completed in her outfit at Portsmouth al the flagship of Rear-Admiral Fred. Warden, C. 8., as second in command of the Chan nel Fleet for 1867, went out of Portsmouth harbour to Spithead on Monday, and on that day and yester day she was put through preliminary trials of her machinery, preparatory to her official trial of speed over the measured mile. The official speed trial of the ship would yesterday have been carried out had the weather been favourable. As it turned out, how ever, the wind ble w at a force from 6 to 7, or a strong gale, and under these circumstances the speed trial of the ship was postponed until the weather should be suitable, in terms of the Admiralty regulations, which expressly stipulate that no ship shall be tried over the measured mile with the wind at a stronger force than three. The engines of the Minotaur on both days worked admirably, supporting the repu tation of the manufacturers and designers—Messrs. John Penn and Son. The Minotaur cannot now be tried for some days to come, owing to the flow of the tides, and it is just possible therefore that the ship may in the meantime be placed in dock to " fine" the pitch of her screw, which is known to be much too coarse to develope the ship's maximum of speed. The unarmoured screw gun vessel Myrmidon, 4,200 horse power, preparing for launching at Chatham dockyard, has been fitted with the whole of her engines and machinery by the contractors, Messrs. Humphreys and Co., as she lies on the building slip, and, in accordance with orders to that effect received from the Admiralty, she is to be ready for launching by the ensuing month of June. She will then be enabled to get up steam as soon as she is afloat, the Myrmidon being the first vessel ever launched from a building slip at Chatham en tirely complete in her engines and machinery. During her construction it has been found necessary to depart from her original designs, in consequence of the increase made iu the size and weight of her armament, additional strength having been im parted to her by the introduction of angle and plate iron wherever found practicable, to enable her to carry the 6k-ton guns she is intended to mount at her broadside. The composite double-screw gunvessel Beacon, one of the squadron of iron and wood steamers of light draught building at Chatham dockyard from the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, has been put in frame, and the first of her water-tight bulkheads completed. A portion of her main deck wrought-iron beams have been laid, while her bottom wood planking has been bolted to the iron frames. Since she was laid down the Bea con has been inspected by a number of the leading iron shipbuilders connected with London, Liverpool, and Bristol,who have been invited by the Admiralty to tender for the construction, of the other vessels of this class. The Beacon is being built on perfectly flat sections, which will give her a comparatively light draught of water, enabling her to operate in harbours and creeks, while her double propeller will g i v e her superior manoeuvring powers, rendering her, in short, a most useful vessel for the particular service for which she is building. Her Majesty's 7 gun steamship Chanticleer, com missioned on the 30th of March last at Woolwich by Commander W. W. S. Bridges for the Pacific, was yesterday supplied with her war materials at the powder quay off Woolwich arsenal, and was finally inspected by Commodore Edmonstone and M r . J. Lory, Naval Secretary. The result of the official trial of speed made at the Lower Hope, under the inspection of Commodore Dillon, is given with Captain the Hon. Arthur Cochrane's patent vertical tube boiler as over ten knots at full boiler pressure ; and at half pressure over eight knots. She left Woolwich yesterday after the in spection, and went down to Greenhithe, and swung for the adjustment of her compasses, under orders to take her departure this morning to call at Spit head for further orders. The Admiralty steam yacht Vivid, Staff-Com mander T. W. Sulivan, having conveyed Prince . Henry of Prussia and suite to Antwerp, yesterday returned to Woolwich, and, after filling in her coal bunkers, took up her moorings in ordinary off the dockyard. About 200 tons of chain cables and anchors were yesterday despatched in dockyard lighters, from Woolwich, for embarcation on board the steamship Memphis, in the V•ctoria Docks, for conveyance to Alexandria for the service of new steam transports recently built for carrying troops to and from India, viz., the Crocodile, built by Messrs. Wigrain at Blackwall ; the Euphrates, built by Messrs. Laird at Birkenhead ; the Jumna, built by Messrs. Bal mer at Yarrow ; the Malabar, built by Messrs. Napier, at Glasgow ; and the Serapis, built by the Thames Iron Works Company at Blackwall. The whole of the ships will be very shortly stored and ready for sea in case of being required. The War Department store vessel Lord Vivian, Mr. Dimond, commander, yesterday commenced shipping from Woolwich Arsenal 32-pounder guns and war material for the armament of Chester Castle, and ammunition and general war stores for Pembroke and Dublin, and the hired ship iodotria went inside the T pier, in readiness to receive a cargo of stores for Bermuda. A quantity of building materials, 40-pounder Armstrong round shot and shell, and general stores were yesterday sent from -Woolwich to the London Docks for shipment on board the Eliza Thornton for Simon's Town, and the chartered ship Alfred Vittery, for Bermuda. The steamship Cadiz and the Ethel, also in the London Docks, received Go vernment stores from Woolwich for Gibraltar and the Mauritius, and the Robert and Hannah moored inside the 'l' pier at Woolwich, and commenced shipping Palliser shot and shell for distribution at Portsmouth. The screw steamer Achilles, which arrived at Gravesend from China on the 20th inst., landed her detachments on Monday, when the time-expired men were forwarded to join their respective depots. A❑ order has been received at Chatham directing detachments of non-commissioned officers and men, together with three officers belonging to the depots comprising the battalions of infantry, to be ready to proceed to ilythe on May 1, there to undergo a course of instruction with the Snider rifle. t l or ~,, ,m.

The Queen, accompanied by her Royal Highness Princess Louise, drove in the grounds this morning• Their Royal Highnesses Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold, attended by Mr. Sahl, went out walking' Princess Beatrice rode in the Home Park. The Austrian Ambassador and Countess ApponY i arrived at the Castle yesterday, and had the honou r of dining with the Queen and the royal family. The Russian Squadron off Fortsinouti3. The Imperial Russian squadron, under the CO nl ' mand of Rear-Admiral Kern, recently returned t° Europe from the North Pacific, and now anchored at the Motherbank, off Ryde, consisting of the sere ( frigate Askold (flag), 17 guns, Capt. Polozoff ; the screw corvette Variv, 17 guns, Capt. Luudh ; a nd the screw despatch vessel Izoumroud, 5 guns, Cap . Brilkin, are waiting orders from St. Petersburg' which are shortly expected. The Izoumroud' i n the meanwhile, will sail from the Motherhank to morrow for Havre, with Admiral Kern and a 1 01111- bcr of his officers on board, to enable them to pal a visit to the great Paris Exhibition. She will 1 °, 1 . ° Havre again to rejoin the Askold and Variag at the Motherbank on the following Monday. The Izoum roud is a somewhat remarkable ship, and, as repre senting the swiftest class of unarmoured ships 111 the Russian navy, deserves more than the pass ing , notice given to her two consorts. In the spri n g of 1864 two Russian corvettes, the Pearl and t he Diamond, constructed on the same principles as i h° Izonmroud—a great preponderance of length to beam—put into the Thames, on their way front Cronstadt to the North Pacific, and while Vi e g there were freely and somewhat unfavourably criti cised. So strongly, indeed, were opinions express eu, that, from the disproportion of their length to beam and the lowness of their hulls on the water, th e y were utterly unsafe for long ocean voyages, th at they were suddenly recalled to Cronstadt, althoug h it was understood at the time that their designe r was no less a person than the Lord High Admir al of the Russian Navy, the Grand Duke Constantineci However this may have been the case, the Gran Duke himself evidently did not share in the un favourable opinions expressed upon the seagoing qualities of the two ships recalled to Cronstadt ft-0 the Thames, for within a very short time after wards( the Izoumroud was placed under th e comma nd of her present captain, and despatched on a voyag e round the world, in order thoroughly to test h er qualities, and the principle she represented. T he voyage out was made by the Cape of Good Hope, an d the return round Cape Horn ; and on all o ccasions' in weather varyi n g i n s u c h a l ong course , a s woul d necessarily be the case, from a pleasant summer breeze to a heavy wintry gale, and including a tremendous cyclone off Cape Horn, Capt. Brilkin and his officers report the Izoumroud to have behaved admirably' and without loss of spars or sails, or the springing of the slightest leak throughout any part of her hull. Her speed is also stated to b e very gre at in all weathers, under both sails and under steam. fl er average sea rate of speed under steam in modera te weather is given as over 14 knots. Some little al lowance must always be made for the enthusiasm of a naval officer when speaking of the ship in whic h lie may at the time be serving, and the captain of the Izoumroud and his officers may in this res P ee have shared to some extent in the amiable fau lt which is the common lot of their confreres in 3 u parts of the world, but the Izoumroud is u u doubterl i f a fast ship, a seaworthy ship, and well deserving' from appearances, the admiration and p ra ises Of all on board of her. She is 250 Engli s h f ee t in leng th between perpendiculars, but only 29k ft. in breadth; her midship breadth of hull (she is timber built) 14 carried down as low as possible in the water, with the ends tapered o ff as fi ne as th ose o f a rive e steamer,—the hull above the water-line being some what different in outline to the ideas followed in tll° English and F renc h nav i es i n having an exceed ingly bold sheer, especially forward, where her ri se of the bow lines assimilate greatly to those generally seen in an American merchant clipper. Her heig ht between decks is above the average of our late st frigates, and ample space is given to officers, to crew, and to stores of all kinds. The lower deck' as is the rule in the Russian navy, possesses n e mess tables for the crew, nor is an y o f th e comfo rt for them, nor the generally smart arrangemen ts and appearances which are such marked character istics of the crew's mess deck of an English ship anywhere existing . The men ar e , h owe ver, i ce ji treated, even from an English point of v iew, i 0 all other respects, and perhaps the Russian seama n does not care for the many little personal matted on the mess deck of hi s s hip th a t are so muc h, an it must be said, so justly prized by the English se a man. The Russian seaman is well f e d, so we ll, i n dee that he can leave portions of his food undrawn the purser's stores, and for this he is always paid n the current rate of the port at which the ship ni n l be stopping at the time such payment becomes d ue. With regard to crime and punishments, the Russia n ti sailor's nature in the former appearsto crop up Mil e the same as our own, the chief crime being stated tti t be a fondness for too much rum. It is semewl ln extraordinary to find, however, Russian officers as serting that their men are treated with greater jus tice in any consideration of a charge brought again st them than are the seamen of our navy, and yet t rulea of government in the Russia n n a v y are bas e upon, or rather copied from, those existing in th h e English navy. As a proof of thi s , seamen in Po t ' navies are divided into first and second classes, ac cording to their character. In the Russian service 0° man can be reduced from the first to the sec o° ,1 class, and also submitted to corporal punishment P r one crime—that is to say, a crime of ordinary cha racter. In the English service men have been re duced from first to second class and punished for oue e crime. The difference iu this administration et punishment must lie not in the meaning of the JO : framed, but rather in the manner i n w hi c h they a re interpreted. There is a third class of men in t or Russian navy who may be called of a third class, or kind of ever-in-trouble fellows. There may be sit e men in our own navy, but they have not that dis tinct official classification which is given them in the Russian navy. These few brief remarks on the coni; parative comforts and government o f seame n in the Russian and British Royal navies may be surPhe; mented by observing that in th e f ormer , a s in t" latter, the men have perfect freedom from any C O11 ; trol over any convictions of f ee li ngs th e y possess . matters of religion. Pr The machinery of the ship was manufactured a them in the Cronstadt Royal Steam Factory a n dn Foundery from designs by Messrs. Humphreys 0 Tennant, of London. They are of 350- 11 ° 1 % power, nominal, and are spoken of by the engine er • in charge and the officers of the ship very high l y indeed. The rig of the ship is three masted, withroe square yards on the fore and main masts. lower masts are short and snug, but carry v ery 0 square yards on the American principle. I) , armament of the ship only now remains to noticed. This at present only consists of t ` t v s heavy 8-inch smooth bores, mounted on pil ie amidships, and three smaller rifled guns 0 0 t broadside and the bow rifled on the French can° ou Ray principle. These guns are to be replace d • ea the ship's arrival at Cronstadt by four -heavy r di guns of late construction, two of which are t° rifled Parrott's. Possibly the Izountroud will not have her coun ter ; part at any time in the British Navy. We do 13 : 0 believe now in investing large sums of money t Ol e production of unarmoured wooden built ships. Izounttoud is, however, as already observed, 3 ft;; rnarkable vessel, and there are many points ab ° her well worthy of observation.
