Eynon—So much having been said both for and against the removal of the Duties ou Fo reign Timber, more particularly that from Nor way, and very little having yet been stated as to the real causes why the importations from that :country are not so extensive as they formerly were, allow me, Sir, to state some of the actual " -u ses to which such a falling off in the importation is t ' ) he attributed, and I trust that the same will tie suillcient to spew - that the Norway Agents are not altogether right when they say that the dis tressed state of their Trade has been occasioned 11 3 r the D uties payabl e on th e i r goo d s , w h e n at tid e same time so much Timber has been imported from our own Colonies duty free. I certainly must admit, that the great importation from the Col • °lnes may in some degree affect them ; but there are other causes, not a word of which has Yet been stat e d. For instance, no mention has • been made of how extensive the Government Contracts were, not only for the Navy, but for t he Ordnance Department, previous to the year 180 7, and that since that period there has not been tore than one or two contracts for Norway • g e °ds, and those very limited ones, being for 4°th ing more than a few small Hand-masts and Spars. The whole quantity of Norway goods Purchased by the Navy Board during the last sev en Years, does not exceed one moderate sized e t a , rg , O ,_ ann ually ; but formerly the quantities of l ,.: 11C " Thither, Deals, Hand-masts, Spars, and ci u . ar-r a f ter si o annually contracted for, were pro us ; and I know of no official documents th at at ; wo uld prov e th a t f ac t b e tt er th an th e books the ul'Navy and Ordnance Offices ; and I can take ~f. ..° 11 myself to say, the reason why Government mere ly the use of Norway goods was not Ame rica becaus e our own Colonies in North Arne tata; Presented themselves to their view, but be dif;e numerous other channels were opened in r lo ere nt Fads of Europe, from whenCe goods are w brought, and which are considered as far t ' h ul erio r for Naval purposes, compared with those • had before been brought from Norway.

Mr. JACKS, Librarian to the Royal Library at Bamberg, has discovered there a manuscript of the Roman history of EUTROPIUS, w hich was probable brought from Rome by the Emperor licNny, thy founder of the Bishopric of Bamberg. The MS. is more complete than any of the best editions hither to published of this author, and very likely to correct a number of false readings. Professor GoELLErt, of Cologne, had previously discovered in the Royal Library a MS. of Livy, Tll2 ARMY. M.INCIIESTER.-Sir JOHN BICNG has just givon a striking proof of his attention to the rights and interests of the military tinder his command. It seems that he had received several letters, anony m ous and others, stating that particular non-com missioned officers had exercised acts of tyranny and injustice toward the private soldiers. It is probable that some of these letters were the work of incendiaries. Sir JOHN, however, very wisely as well as humanely, considered that there was a possibility that some of them might have had a foundation in fact, and that whether so or riot, it must at least be satisfactory to the men to know that they were under the protection of the law, and that that protection would be afforded them in case of need. Without notifying his object, therefore, he ordered a grand field-day on the 24th inst. at which were collected the 40th and 55th Regiments, the sth Dragoon Guards, and a part of the Royal Artillery. As soon ,as they were assembled on the ground, he himself ap peared, and ordered them to form around him. The circle being formed, he addressed them, and stated the receipt of the above-mentioned letters. The General then read extracts from the Articles of War, stating the punishments to which Ser jeants guilty of such behaviour were liable, and also those to which Privates were who made un founded complaints. He concluded by expressing his hope that if such conduct had been used by the Serjeants they would not repeat it, and that no Privates would bring forward charges of this nature unless they could fully substantiate them. Sir JOHN BYNG then quitted the ground, leaving many of the soldiers much surprised at the un founded complaints addressed to their General, but all highly gratified with the anxiety he had shewn, that their just rights should be legally protected. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief reviewed the Third Regiment of Foot Guards in Hyde Park. His Royal Highness -the Duke of GLOUCESTER, Colonel of the Regiment, took the command, and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, General Lord CATHCART, and many other Field Officers were present. The Royal Edinburgh Volunteers; at their re view on Saturday, were commanded by Lieut.- Col. HOPE, and went through their various ma nmuvres with the utmost precision. After the review, Major-Gen. Sir T. BRADFORD and the Marquis of LOTHIAN complimented Col. Hort on the steady and soldier-like appearance of the regiment, and the high state of discipline which it had attained within so short a period, which were highly creditable to the officers and pri vates of the corps. The fineness of the day and the novelty of the sight, attracted a great number of spectators. The ground was kept by a de tachment of the 7th dragoon guards from Piers bill.—(Edinburgh Courant, July 24.) The following letter was addressed to Major PRESTON, commanding a detachment of the 13th Regiment, on its leaving Paisley:— " Paisley, July 3, 1820. " Sits—l experience peculiar satisfaction in communicat ing to you, and the officers of the detachment of the 13th 'under your command, the well-merited tribute of respect from the Magistracy of this town, on account of the gentlemanly and polite deportment, and soldier-like discharge of duty, in variably manifested by you and them, while stationed here ; and I am sure that a s►milar sentiment is indulged by every• Gentleman who had an opportunity of appreciating your vigi lance and activity, under circumstances frequently irksome and embarrassing. I request, therefore, that you will com municate to your brother Officers, and also to the non-cow missioned officers and privates, the Magistrates' high appro bation of the military conduct of the detachment, during the 'period of their residence here.

LAUNCH OF THE TRAFALGAR. --o This day several thousand persons witnessed one of the grandkist exhibitions that has been re membered here for many years—that Of com mitting to its destined element one of the finest Ships of which our Navy can boast, a Ship whose name is associated with all oar ideas of national glory, as well as national safety, and which mity hereafter be the terror of some future foe. The Trafalgetr is considered to be the hest built ship in his Majesty's service. Erery. thing which ihlproved art could devise has been done to give her a degree of strength and durability superior to that of any other man of-war; and with that view the builder has adopted the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, which has been tint lately introduced, but which promises to he attended by the must beneficial effects. To the spectator who has walked retind this magnificent pile of naval architecture, While resting on the stocks previous to being launched, the view Was imposing and grand beyond alt description. This enormous bulk, and the flue symmetry and proportions observable in all its parts, were calculated to fill the mind with ideas of greatness and beauty. But it was not until one examined tine interior, that a correct notion could be formed of its superior structure. There is nut perhaps a ship of the same size in the service, in which the space between the decks is to narrow as in this. In the' Nelsen, and Most other first rates, the Captains and Admirals cabins, and the ward-rooms are above a feet higher than those of the Trafalgar, where a tall officer cannot walk without taking his hat oX and stooping. This, however, is considered as a great ad , vantage to a fighting ship, because, as the guns will not be so elevated as in other first rates, she will be more steady in the water during the time of action. The new, and the chief improvement introduced by Sir Itubert Seppings, consists in the position of the inside planks, and the substitution of iron instead of wooden knees. Here the planks, instead of being horizontal or perpendicular, are placed diagonally, forming with the deck, an angle of 45 degs. The object of this im provement is, to keep the ship from (what the builders or sailors call) hoggittg that is, sinking dawn towards the stern end; by which the sailing is greatly impeded. The idea was taken from those gates, which never can Preserve their form or position, unless they are supported by diagonal bars. These diagonal planks are not all similarly posited ; for its one half of the ship, the tops of them incline towards the brad, arid in the other, half towards the stern ; so that by thus act ing as checks against each other, they preterit any alteration from ever taking place in the fora or shape of the vessel. Between these diagonal planks are strong trusses of wood to keep them as firm as possible. The planks of tine decks are also laid down diagonally on the same principle with those of the sides. The next insprovement is that of the new forked iron knees. This has obviated an inconvenience which has for many .years beets felt in all the thick-yards; hitherto the building of ships has been attended with a peculiar difficulty, from the want of those pieces of timber, consisting of a part of the trunk and the branch of a tree, projecting from it, nearly at a right angle, which has always been the great fas tening between the deck and the side of the ship. Tine fas tening has been called the knee. To obviate the difficulty of Ending. pieces•of timber of this description, which difficulty has every day beCome greater from the decreasing growth of timber in England, iron is now used with much better ef fect. 'llse fastening is now made of iron, and is called a forked iron knee. This is strengthened by a beam, fastened under that part of the deck which joint the side of the ship ) , and which is called the shelf; ever the deck, at the satire cor ner, there is another beam called the waterway, and these two beanie are fastened together, and also fastened to the sides of the ship by means of irons bolts ; and the iron knees are also strongly connected with them. By means of this new ma chinery, a ship may now be made so strong, that no tempest, hoe ever violent, can make any breach or opening in its sides. Besides the circumstances of strength thins described, this ship is distinguished fur the simplicity and plainness of its exterior appearance. 'rune sides and stern galleries are paint ed a plain pale yellow, and the only ornament is a plain. full-length figure of Lord Nelson, the whole painted white. So great was the interest and curiosity of the public re specting this fanned man of war, that for several days past nu merous parties have come from all directions, for the purpose of visiting her; and this day tire crowds exceeded all calcula tion. Early in the morning, the great posts which surrounded, and had served as props to the ships, were removed, and she rested on nothing but the cradle. Meansehile, some hundreds of persons ascended time ladders, went on board, and occu pied stations on the different decks of the ship. 'l'be band of the first Veteran Battalion was also on board, and continued playing at intervals, while the ship remained in the duck. Company still continued flocking into the dock yard, and all the space around the ship was filled up, but not inconveniently crowded. At twelve o'clock his Royal I-Ugliness the Duke of Clarence, accompanied by Rear-Admiral Sir John Gore, Lady Gore, the Countess of Darnley, Lady Elizabeth Bligh, and auntie other persons of distinctions, arlived at time Dock-yard; and were received at the gate by a guard of Royal Marines. His Royal Highness and attendants proceeded to the ship, and entered into a minute examination of that part of the cradle which was placed at its head. They then went and took their station on a balcony attached to the Master-builder's office, which projected over the water, and which was covered with an awning. Here the distinguished party could enjoy the best possible view of the launch. About this time the Medway abounded with vessels of all descriptions, front the large anti elegant pleasure yacht to the humble skiff'. They were all filled with company; even corn-barges were em ployed on the eecasion, and had their decks covered with visi tors, anxioesly waiting for tine noble sight that was to sur prise and delight them. About half-past twelve the cere mony of christening tine ship was performed by tine Countess of Density, the Royal Visitor hawing declined that office. Her Ladyship stood at the head of the ship, and held the bottle of wine which was broken against the stem, and pro nounced' the name " I'rafalgar." This was followed by loud acclamations on the part of the surrounditig spec tators. From this time until one o'clock the public expectation was raised to the highest pitch; and every eye was attentively fixed on the vast body that was to be moved away, as it were by magic, from their presence. One o'clock was the hour at which the influx of the ocean at tained its greatest height ; at that moment a signal gun was fired ; the trilling obstructions which restrained the move ment of the cradle were set aside,tlse usual impulse was given. to tine stern of the ship, and in the space of half a minute she glided majestically into the deep water, which experienced a swell and an agitation that was truly awful, and was nearly attended with danger to several vessels, which had ven tured too near the spot. It is impossible adequately to describe the grand spectacle which presented itself—it was O afterwardsli i.rs t,e object l: te r ! seeded, :nt : like a mountain floating on tine surface of the water, and caus ing all the surrounding vessels to sink into nothingness. The cradle, in the formation of which so many men had been. employed, and so much pains had been taken, was broken ins and twenty or thirty boats immediately issued frosts the clock - yard to collect the scattered . fragments. For near half an hour the vast concourse of spectators on land and water, amounting to about 15,000,, retained the stations which they had occupied, being, as it were, loth to lose sight of the object which had attracted so much of their attention.—The Disks and his atteudents then repaired to the house of Sir Robes t Barlow, the Commissioner, where they partook of a repast ; and then his Royal Highn ess proceeded to the lines near Brompton, and reviewed tine First edc Veteran 4 Battalion .
