WHAT MA Y BE DONE WITH OUR OLD FLEET. The Engineer has an article on the conversion of some of our screw line-of-battle ships into monitors, some for sea service and others for coast defence. The late Board of Admiralty were so much im pressed with the sug gestions made by Mr. Henwood that they directed the working drawings, and details of weights of H.M.S. Duncan to be supplied to Mr. Henwood that he might work out his proposals for a particular ship. In the current number of the Engineer illustrations are given, showing what may be produced by converting the Duncan into a coast defence monitor, on the breast work system as adopted by the Admiralty from the plans of Captain Cowper Coles. It has been thought by some persons that these line-of-battle ships would not be sufficiently strong to carry so much armour, but the case of the Ocean, sister ship to the Duncan, proves the strength of converted line-of-battle ships. She is armour plated from stem to stern, from a depth of about six feet below the water to the height of the upper deck, with plates 4in. thick. If the armour extended to half the height, it might, of course, be double the thick n‘pss without increasing the weight, and thus the Ocean could float a belt of armour thick, as well as she does her 41in. of armour ex tending to the upper deck. The total weight of the Ocean complete for sea is MOO tens; and the total weight of the Duncare, converted into a coast defence monitor with 550 tons of coals on board, would not exceed 6,30) tens, or 240 tons less than the Ocean. Ar. MICHEL CHEVALIER ON TRADES UNIONS. M. Michel Chevalier is delivering a course of leciures on political economy in the College of Fiance. His first lecture was on the relations of Capital and Labour, and he advised the working classes to leek on capital not as an enemy, but an auxiiiarly. The great strike at Creusot led him to 'consider the trades' unions of England, and he made especial reference to the work of Mr. James Stirling on the subject. The productive powers of mankind, said M. Chevalier only became great by the aid of capital. The greater the increase of capital, the greater the perfection to which science brought tools and machines, and the more rapid became the development of produc tion. One cf the historians of the Great Exhibition of 1867 remarked that if the cotton manufactured in Eng laud alone had to be worked by the hand it would not re quire less than one hundred million men. Notwithstand ing the extraordinary development of the cotton trade in England, it did not now employ more than one million workmen. The consequences of the vast productive power resulting from the assistance of capital was, that abundance took the place of penury. The presence of ca pital in large quantities brought those articles into com mon use which would otherwise be reserved for a few privileged persons. The immense difference in the wel fare of the workmen employed in an undertaking with or without the aid of capital is clearly shewn by the construc tion of two canals in the same country within one short half century. The Canal Mahmond, in Egypt, between Alexandria and the Nile, was undertaken by the cele brated Mehemet Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, and was carried into effect by poor peasants forced to the work, and find ing nothing prepared for them. They were obliged to scoop out the earth without proper tools, and had for their support only rations of beans. Thousands of them died of fatigue and hunger. The other canal which we have just seen completed was carried out under the most favourable conditions. The workmen, who came mostly from Europe, were supplied with good tools, with abundant rations, with medical attendance. Powerful machines, established at great expense, saved them from much painful labour, and they received such good wages that those who were careful took home large savings to Europe. Such is labour with and without the aid of capital ! After touching on other branches of the subject, M. Chevalier came to that question which lies at thefoun- dation of most strikes, and which he stated in these terms:— "Does capital in dividing the profits of industry, whether agricultural or manufacturing take for itself or not the share of the lien? " In England, he said, it had produced vehement agitation, while in France there could be little doubt the feeling'en the subject was growing in intensity. Until late years the employer and employed had not been equal before the law. Only ten years back the United States was the only country in which such equality existed, but England first, and France after, followed their example. Before French and English tribunals the poor workman had as much weight as the most powerful manufacturer in any dispute between them. Both alike are at liberty to coalei 0.3 with their fellows, and French workmen, imitating the English,. have not delayed to form coalitions demanding the increase of wages, a dimminution in the hours of lsbour, and other advantages. This state of things, which seems likely to extend throughout Europe, causes some persons great alarm. There would, however, be no risk if the labouring popula tions ,as well as the heads of trade, would observe tha law in the letter as well as the spirit, and if they would not allow themselves, under the pretext of exercising liberty, to interfere with the rights of others. The events in England are incomparably more serious than those in France, and more offensive, but unhappily, if matters in England remain the same, France will very soon reflect them,since to day ideas and actions cross the;channel as easily as men and merchandise. The trade unions of England after having been praiseworthy institutions, framed origi nally for the assistance of the sick and aged, had changed into a means of warfare against the chiefs of industry. At the same time that they abandoned their earlier policy, they became the instruments of oppression, first towards those workmen who would not join them, afterwards towards their own members. Many such associations were directed by committees which claimed to dispose not only of the labour and liberty of their members, but of their very lives, if they contravened their designs. The member of such an association no longer belongs to himself. Ile has no longer the right to work when he likes or where he likes. Tyrannical regulations exist forbidding the employment of females, limiting the number of appren tices, interdicting the entrance of certain productions in a particular district. In a word, a part at least of these English trades unions are a standing protest against the pretensions of the nineteenth century to boa century of freedom, and more especially freedom of labour. Mr. Chevalier said he did not think these abuses need excite too much apprehension, for public opinion, becoming more and more active and vigilant, was certain eventually to secure the victory of right against arbitrary authority, of liberty against tyranny. wherever it existed. Competent observers in England had stated that those towns in which trades unions were the most powerful, were those in which the welfare of the working classes was the least advanced, a proof that oppres sion is fatal even to the very interests it wishes to favour. An attempt of another kind had been made by workmen to compete with capital. They had endeavoured to com bine the two positions of master and workman by organis ing co-operate societies of production, but this effort, though creditable in itself, was certain to fail for lack of capital and experienced ability to direct it. Such attempts, however, led us to consider whether there might not be in the future new relations established between capital and labour—a system by which workmen should receive a certain part of the profits independently of their regular wages. In conclusion, M. Chevalier charged all workmen to work resolutely - , industriously, and prudently, each in his own department, else the best hopes of the working population would prove illusory; and their true friends would be those who with firm voice recalled them to the right lath. The Globe thus comments on Mr. Lowe's announcement of his intention td'ax hearses :—Charon has found his match in Mr. Lowe. The grim ferryman takes toll of those whom Ihe carries across the dark river, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced that henceforth he, too, will demand payment of all persons who choose to indulge in the luxury of being buried; that even the parish hearse must pay the license duty. The proverb says that "Nothing is certain except death and taxes." Yet the apothegm never implied that there was any other relation between them except the common quality of inevitableness. The " fell Sergeant Death" was supposed to set us free from all liabilities to pur creditors whether private or public. But Mr. Lowe, who has lately warned tradesmen that he will tax them if they use trade-devices on their circulars, is still more daring: he will levy posthumous duties, he will carry taxation into the next world, and make the collector dog the steps of " the Shadow with the Keys." This funereal finance opens quite a new world, such as even the Liverpool Financial Reform Association never dreamt of. If hearses are to be charged with the license-duty why should not thehearse driver and the mute , be also included in the Chancellor's little bill? They aro men-servants as much as the doctor's medicine boy, and are a good deal more of luxuries. Why not, too, levy the land-tax on graves, and charge us with the succession duty when we come into our estate seven feet long by three feet broad ? Nay, why stop here ? Why not tax our defunct ancestors ? There is many a tomb on which armorial bearings are en graved, but whose occupants contribute nothing to the national exchequer. This is a Clearly unwarrantable 3mission, to be easily supplied by charging every tenant of every tomb with the new guinea licence. This will be nothing more than bare justice. Our ancestors imposed on us the huge burden of the national debt ; en revanche we tax them to pay it off. In this way the gallant generals and admirals who made fortunes and founded families, fighting under Marlborough, Hawke, Nelson, and Wellington, will be bearing a s hare, though only an inadequate share, of the weight of taxa '.ion which they shifted to our shoulders. Let Mr. Lowe, then, make use of those effete functionaries, the garish clerks, and charge them to make returns of all tombs hav ing crests, shields, quarterings, or other heraldic devices, not forgetting the skull and cross-bones. Having collected his statistics, let him levy his duty, and if he reckons arrears, together with compound interest since the battle of Blenheim, he will not only be able to give us a free breakfast table, but will wipe out the national debt. If any one suggests that there may be a difficulty ill obtaining payment, we scout the objection.

In one of these, Dr. Letheby found only 8 . 40 grains of organic matter (in solution) and in the other, only 9 , 10 grains; whereas, ordinary London sewage contains 15 - 03 grains. Again, of mineral or organic matters in suspension, the two Leamington samples yielded none whatever, but on the other hand the L. ndcn sewage contained 22 . 0-1 grains of mineral, and 16.11 grains of organic Matters in suspension.

Schafarik, Professor of Chemistry in the Polytechnic Institute of Bohemia, writing on the 15th ult. to the Bohemian newspaper rolitik, announces the dis covery of a diamond in a granite quarry in the Misch kowitz estate of Count Schonborn, about eight miles north west of Prague. The stone weighs fifty-seven milligrams, is of a light yellow colour, and nearly cubtical in shape, the edges and corners being slightly rounded. In hardness it equals the East Indian, and exceeds the Brazi lian diamonds. After the careful examination which the stone, has been subjected to by Professor Schafarik, there can be little doubt of its genuineness ; but that simple fact will hardly justify us in believing that a diamond has really been found associated with basalt and other mine rals of plutonic origin, seeing that the beds which, in other parts of the world, have yielded this precious stone are all sedimentary deposits. The Dlaschlcowitz diamond had confessedly passed through the hands of a lapidary (who was unable to polish it on account of its hardness) before it reached M. Schafarik, and it would be reasonable, for the present, to suppose that an East India diamond had by some accident become mixed up with the various Bohemian stones sent to the lapidary. It has been suggested in Bohemia that the Dlaselikowitz diamond is nothing but zircon ; but the stone does not agree with that mineral, either in specific: gravity or in hardness.
