S r,—The superior advantages of screw propulsion being fully de monstrated by its general adopticn for the public service stud for the commercial operations of almost all maritime nations, a favourable time aprears to have arrived for inducing a public recognition of the merit of its introduction. Convinced thit screw navigation—whoever may be regarded as its ofiginal inventor—must date its real .commencement from the successful trials and voya , ,e a of the" ArchiMedes" in 1839 and 1840 ; and fet ling that all naval nations aro indebted to the, performances of that ship, for the first practical development of this great improve ment in the means of maritime enterprise ; the following gentlemen, personally cognisant of the facts connected with the progress of the ystem, are strongly impressed with the justice of the claim 3 of Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, to whose talents and untiring energy it is well known the "Archimedes" oWed both her origin and success. They can also bear record tc the steady persave anee with which that gentleman has continued to devote the b-st years of h's life to the purpose cif egabllshing the merits of the screw. And they know that the national benefit thus conferred by his labours—which was nisi so clearly confirmed by the performances of the Rattler in 1845, then so strikingly itlustrat d at the naval review of 1853, and whirl; is now so confidently reied on for success in Rau.] war—has not hitherto procured fa him either public acknowledgment or pecuniary reward. 'they have therebre formed themsclves into a Provisional Commit• tee, and have requested us most respectfully to solicit the honour of your name, and the advantage of your influence and examp!e, in sup port of an anpeal t all clts.i s and interest• fora genera subscription to rresent a suitahle !estimmitial to Mr. Francis Pettit Smith, for his promine - it ,err ces in bringing into practice the system of screw navigation.—We have th honour to be your obedt. servants, EDWARD PELL'EW HALSTED,/ _ uon .

Francis Pettit Smith, en cadre zontalement une vis d'Archimede a l'arriere et dans Ia partie la plus pincee de la carene ; cette vis est continue ; elle adeux revolutions completes. L'auteur prend son brevet le 31 Mai, 1836." --" Revenons au fermier Smith. Aussi pen savant dans le principe qua le barbier Arkwri,ht, it avast la meme perseverance et le nseme indomPtable courage. Cc s deux quail tes morales Pont fait triom pher de Vais les obstacles. M. Smith, pendant deux annees, essaye son bateau sur.la Tamise et sur is canal de Paddington. Dans ce canal, par an accident lieureux, une revolut'on de ea vis d'Archimede est brisee, et le navire marche plus vite qu'auparavant. C'est un trait de lumiere, et l'on Elnira par n'emPloyer qu'une mottle, qu'uu tiers, et meme tine moindre pantie de revolution dlelice. Par ce moyen, I'on pourra logcr le propulseur dans une etroite ouverture verticale, en avant du gouvernail, entre deux etambots. " Wessels en easels, 51. ticnith se hasarde a lutter contre les diffi canes de la men. Avec un nivire extremement petit, il s'aventure dans la Manche, et brave un pier toujcurs si dure,_en essuyant des temps mauvais ; son courage inspire une favour universelle. L'Amiraute d'Angleterre proud un vif interet a des easels tentes al courageusement, et couronnes par le seem. Ella demande a M. Smith un essai plus considerable, et Ia construction d'un navire a helice de 200, tonueaur, avant de conclure a Padoption du nouveau Nysteme. En laymen.cosequence, l'Archimede, de 237 tonneaux, est con struit et mis a dans lee experiences demandees, le batiment eut parcouru 5 nude par heure ; it en parcourut ores du double. M,lgre le vent et Ia maree, it na mit que - vingt inures pour aller de Gravesend a Ports mouth. " Con idneue par ces eprarves, l'Amiraute d'Angleterre accepts l'helice pour ses propres nivires. En 1 , 11, elle felt commencer a Sheerness son premier bailment a propulseur helicoide, le Rattler du port de 888 tonne:sax, bailment qu'oa mit a la me, a.t printemps, de 1843.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS TO THE CITY. GUILDHALL. At about half-past two the Emperor and Empress entered the ball, and at this moment it presented a scene of the greatest magnificence imaginable. The scene within the hall previously to the arri val of the august visitors was grand in the extreme. The company, which had begun to arrive in large numbers as early as: :ten o'clock, had very nearly all assembled, and filling, as they did, the whole of the west end of the building, and the• north and south sides, formed of themselves a most brilliant and varied feature, but, when viewed in conjunction with the gorgeous decorations of the Hall, the rich, flowing robes of the aldermen and common council, the embroidered uniforms of the representatiica of the - different corps .4iplornatiqUe, constituted a tout ensemble of extraordinary splendour. All this burst at once upon the eye the moment one had passed through the principal entrance into the time honoured edifice with a magic mail enchanting effect. The illusion of the scene was 10aintained by the "eloquent music" which was Osconrsocl by the splendid band of the Royal iloiesg.kauards (Blue), and of which the folloWing is a programme Overture—Oberon Selection—Le Chalet Weber. A. Adam. Waltz—Fruhlingsboten Gung'l• Selection— Preciosa t Weber. War March of the Priests—A.thalie Overture—Guillaume Tell Rossini. Majesty the expression of our' confident hope that you May ever find in the affections of domestic life the best solace and support which this world can afford under the cares and weight of the high destiny you are now fut filling with such conspicuous power and moderation, as we fervently pray that life and health may, by the bles - in of Providence, be vouchsafed to your Majesties fo many years to come." , • . . 1 The Empress rose from her seat before the Rd,- corder.comrnencedreadinthe Addreis, and, With the Emperor, remained standing:. When the pa+ sage alluding to the Consort of the Emperor was read a loud and prolonged cheer rang through thp Hall, and was smilingly and graciously acknow ledged by the illustrious object of the compliment. At the conclusion of the,Address the Recorder advanced, with the 'usual obeisance; and placed a copy of it in the hands of the Emperor, who, - after a short pause, proceeded to read,in a firm and di tinct voice, though with a slightly foreign accculd, the following reply : "llfy Lord Mayor,—After the cordial reception I have experienced from the Queen, nothing could affect me more deeply than the sentiments towards the Empress and myself to which you, in) L , :rd Mayor, have given expression on the part of the city of London ; for the city of London represents the available_resueurees which a world-wide _commerce affords liOth for civilisation and for war. Nattering as are your praises, I accept them, because they are addressed much more to Franco than to myself; they are addressed to a nation whose interests are today everywhere identical with your own.—(loud applause)--they are addressed to an army and navy united to yours by an heroic companionship in danger and in glory—(renewed applause)—they are addressed to the policy of tho two Governments, which is based on truth, on moderation, and on justice. For myself, I have retained on the throne the sarne sentiments of sytn. pithy and esteem for the English people that I professed as an exile—(laud and prolonged cheering)—while I cn• joyed here the hospitality of your Queen ; and if I have acted in accordance with my convictions, it is that the interest of the nation which has chosen me, no less than that of universal civilisation, has made it a duty. Indeed England and Franco arc naturally united on all the great questiona"of politics and of human progress that agitate the world. From the shores of the Atlantic to those of the Mediterranean—from the Baltic to the Black Sea —from the desire to abolish slavery, to our hopes for the amelioration of all the cJuntries of Europe—l see in the moral as in the political world for our two nations but one course and one end. (Applause.) It is, then, only by unworthy considerations and pitiful rivalries that our union _could be dissevered. If we follow the dictates of common sense alone, we shall be sure of the future. (Loud applause.) You are right in interpreting my presence'ainong you as a fresh and convincing proof of my energetic co-op ration in the prosecution of the war, if we fail in obtaining an honourable peace. (Ap plause.) Should we so fail, although our difficulties may be great, we may sureiy collet on a successful result ; for not only are our *Niers and sailors of tried valour — not only do our two ablintries possess within themselves unrivalled resources, 4brik above all—and here lies their superiority—it is becauff they are in the van of all gene rous and enlightened ideas. The eyes of all who suffer instinctively turn to the West. Thus our two nations are oven more powerful from the opinions they represent than by the armies and fleets they have at their com mand. (Great applause.) lam deeply grateful to your Queen for affording me this solemn opportunity of eic pres4ng to you my own sentiments and those of France, of which lam the iaterpreter. I thank you in my own name and in that of the Empress for the frank and hearty cordiality with which you have received us. (Ap planse.) We shall take back with us to France the last ing impression made on minds thoroughly able to appre ciate it, of the imposing spectacle which England pre , gents, where virtue on the throne directs the destinies of a country under the empire of a liberty without danger to its grandeur." The moment the Emperor concluded his reply a loud cheer was raised by those who were in a posi tion to hear its purport, which was taken up and re-echoed by the occupants of the remoter parts of the Hall, to whom the proceeding had been little snore than dumb show. The Lord Mayor then presented to the Em peror and Empress Mr. John Wood and Mr. Alderman Wire, the mover and seconder of the Address ; Mr. Deputy Harrison, the Chairman of the Entertainment Committee ; Aldermen Sir P. Laurie, Farebrother, Copeland, Wilson, Sir C. Marshall, Humphery, Sir G. Carroll, Sir J. Duke, M.P., Hunter, Sidney, Farncomb, Salo mons, Finnis, Carter, Sir R. W. Carden, and Cubitt , Alderman and Sheriff Muggeridge, Alder men Kennedy and Rose, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, Messrs. Barnard, Rathbone, Harker, Andertou, and several other members of the Common Council. _ _ _ The Emperor and Empress then descended from the dais into the open space in front, where they remained for some momenta iu conversation with the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress, to whom they expressed their admiration of the decorations of the Hall, and their gratification at the hearty welcome they had received. At this time the Duko of Cambridge quitted the place ho had pre viously occupied, and, advancing to the Emperor, was greeted by him in the most cordial manner. His Royal Highness then paid his respects to her Imperial Majesty, who entered into animated con versation with him fur some minutes, the Emperor, m eanwhile, being engaged in conversation with Count Walewski. The members of the Entertainment Committee then formed a double line down the avenue, and the Emperor and Empress, preceded by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, and followed by the Duko of Cambridge, the Cabinet Ministers, the corps diplornatique, and others of the more distin guished guests, proceeded to the Council-chamber, where a sumptuous dejcuncr had been provide]. The Emperor and Empress sat at the head of the table, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress being vis-a-vis. The Duke of Cambridge sat on the right of the Emperor, and that side of the table was al most exclusively occupied by the members of the Cabinet and their ladies. On the left of the Em press sat Count Walewski, the Countess Walewski, the Austrian Ambassador, and the other members of the diplomatic body. In the course of the dejeuner the Lord Mayor gave " The Health of the Queen," which was drunk by the whole company standing. His Lordship af terwards proposed " The Health of the Emperor and Empress of the French," which was received with a similar demonstration of respect. Before leaving the room the Emperor was for some time in conversation with the Marquis of Lansdowne ; and the Empress, when on the pint of departure, recognising Lord Clarendon, entered into conversation with his Lordship with great vivacity. Shortly before 4 o'clock a flourish of trumpets an nounced the departure of the illustrious visitors, and, a procession having again been formed in the same order as at their entrance, except that it was now headed by the band of the Horse Guards (who during the dejeuner had been posted in an adjoin ing room, where they had performed several favourite airs), playing " Partant pour la Syrie," the Emperor and Empress passed through the Hall to their carriages, amid the most warm anti enthu siastic demonstrations of respect and regard. In the corridor, between the Hall and the Coun cil-chamber a number of valuable portr a it s o f th e Napoleon family, lent for the occasion by Herr Wetter, were arranged. They included portraits of the Emperor Napoleon 1., Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain ; Jerome, King of Westphalia ; Letitia, mother of the Emperor Napoleon 1., and grandmother of the present Emperor l and Hor tense, consort of Louis Bonaparte, King of Hol land, and mother of the Emperor Napoleon 111. In passing through the corridor these family like nesses naturally attracted the notice of the Empe ror, who paused before the portrait of his mother, and, directing the attention of the Empress to it, w ith ,muoh feeling exclaimed, " This is kind, indeed ! " After the departure of the Emperor and Empress the general company partook of a sumptuous enter tainment, which was provided in the Council chamber, the Crypt, and several other apartments in the Guildhall. The following is the bill of fare at the dejeAner provided for the Emperor and Empress : Potages.—Petages de tortue clair•Bisque d'6er6visses. Potage de nids d'ossieaux Chinoiv, Consomm6 de volaille.

As the names of the company were not, owing to an accidental oversight on the part of the committee, announced at the door a number of distinguished personages passed in unrecognised by a large proportion of those sent, but towards half-past twelve o'clock, those arrivals were announced in the usual manner, and amongst those whose titles we overheard were—Lord Paumure, Viscount Har dinge, the Greek Minister, the Sicilian Mi nister, his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador, all of whom, in making their appearance, were greeted with loud acclamation. To these succeeded Sir C. Wood (First Lord of the Aaniralty), Earl of Clarendon (Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs), who were received in like manner. Besides those we have mentioned there were also in attend ance the American, Sardinian, Swedish, l'ortu guese, and Brazilian Ministers ; Earl,of Harrowby, the Marquis of Salisbury, Viscount Canning, Sir W. Molesworth, and Sir B. Hall. The arrival of the august visitors it was under stood would take place about half-past one o'clock, and, as that hour drew nigh, the excitement of the assembled multitude, which could not have num bered less than 2,000 persons 'was raised to .a painful degree, but it was for the moment relieved by the arrival of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge at halt-past one o'clock precisely. His Royal Highness, who looked remarkably well, and was Attired in the uniform of the Coldstream Guards, was enthusiastically cheered as he was conducted to his seat, which he acknowledged by bowing in a most courteous manner. His Royal Highness was immediately followed by the Mar quis the Duke of Argyll, Lord Palmerston, Ab o ut this time it was rumorOd that the Em of and Lansdowne,sir George Grey._ peror and Empress were close at bind, and this was succeeded by a hunt of anxious expectation. Tho band had just brought to a conclusion the beautiful. overture of " Guillame Toll," when the. cessation of its strains was taken up by a merry peal from the old bells of Bow Church. Presently a loud shout of " Vivo l'Empareur" was distinctly over-heard outside, and the Lord Mayor, accom panied by the members of the Committee, the Alder menand Corporation, hurried to the grand entrance to receive their Imperial Majesties with becoming honour and formality. Immediately the band of the 2d Royal Life Guards struck up " Portant pour la Syrie," which was re-echoed by the band within, and to the music of this noble air, and amidst a hearty cheer of welcome from the whole assembled company, the Emperor and Empress, preceded by the Lord Mayor and the usual attendants on such occasions, slowly advanced up the centre of the hall and took up their respective positions on the dais. His Majesty wore the uniform of a General of Division, and the Empress, who was attired in a rich brocaded silk dress, looked extremely well, and both very gracefully bowed their acknowledgments to the sincere and general shouts of " Vivo l'Einpereur" and " Vivo l'lmp6ra• trice," which resounded on every side. The brilliant suite of the Royal personages having taken up theirposition round the dais, the Lord Mayor advanced, and having presented the learned Re corder to their Majesties, the latter, in a distinct and forcible manner, read the address on behalf of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of Loudon as follows : " TO HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. " May it please your Majesty,— wr e , the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of Majesty Commonour r heartfelt Council congratulations soinretht: offerarrival of your Ma j est y and the Em p ress of the French in this co untr y as the guests of our most gracious Queen ; and, on behalf of our fellow-citizens and our selves, we humb l y tender to your Majesties the warmest have expression of ou r g ratitude for the welcome visit b y which youdeigned to honour our city on this London,t o your memorable day. "The attention of Europe and the world is alread y fixed on the attitu de of dignity and united stren g th die played by France and Great Britain in the present war, and the coming of your Majesty, invited by our beloved tual friendship and common interest so happily uniting Queen, at such a time, will draw closer the bonds of mu the two countries. "The cordial alliance of two such mighty Powers, cemented and sealed by intimate and frank intercourse between their rulers, must sway the destinies of all, will abate the pride of our common enemies, increase the confi lence of our allies, and give new vigour to our arms. "By the wise policy of your Majesty's reign all our ancient jealousies have been appeased, and the flags of France and England now mingle their colours alike in the Baltic and in the East. Ranged together in a righteous calve, braving like hardships, and shedding their blood side by side in victory, the soldiery of our united armies and the seamen of our combined fleets have learnt to regard each other with the love of brave and generous comrades, second only to the love they bear their respective countries, and, while such are the daily and sinking feelings, werejoicethhatg deeply intosentiments the breastsakintoth ofthe people are growing people of these great and neighbouring nations. " None can doubt that the allied forces thus animated, led in perfect harmony by commanders of tried skill and valour, and guided by united counsels at home, will achieve by arms the just and unambitious object of the present war ; unless, as we may hope, the efforts of as sembled statesmen shall yet avert the calamities of pro tracted warfare by the speedier negotiation of an honour able and enduring peace. " This cordial reception, therefore, of the chosen and pnissant Emperor of the French by the illustrious Sove reign who reigns over these realms and lives in the hearts of the British people we regard as a type of a close and lasting friendship between the two nations, and the hap piest augury of a returning time when, undisturbed in the onward course of civilisation, the nations of Europe may again lay aside the sword, and resume their exalted rivalry in the works of beneficence alone. " We are earnestly anxious further to express to your Imperial Majesty the lively pleasure and respectful ad miratiou with which we have seen you accompanied on this happy omision y your illustrious Consort her Ma jesty the'Empress of the Freud. We tender to your ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Last evening the Royal. Italian Opera was the scene of a manifestation of unusual, and, as far as the present generation can judge, of unprecedented enthusiasm and magnificence. It had been an nounced that the Queen had commanded the per formances, and that her Majesty would visit the theatre in State, accompanied by the Emperor and Empress of the French. On such an occasion, it was to be expected that the very etite,,of London society would be present, in order to add one more to the many.public greetings offered to our Imperial guests. The 'director of the Opera, Mr. Gye, had made arrangements worthy the occasion. The sane, always brilliant and magnificent, presented a novel and still more gorgeous aspect. The whole of the theatre has been re-decorated for the occasion ; the solid spices between the several tiers of boxes were covered with white satin damask, and hung with festoons of floWers. An effect of lightness and ele gance pervaded the whole area. Of late years, the old arrangements on the .occasion of Royal visits to the Opera had been changed. Formerly, the State Box was at the side of the theatre, ad joining the proscenium; but her Majesty has in troduced the Continental custom—that of placing the royal visitors in the centre of the house, facing the stage. The theatre was, in this re spect, arranged last night as on the occasion of the royal visit iu 1848. Four boxes, two on the grand and two on the first tier, were thrown into one grand state box, immediately over the central pit entrance. Thus a space was left large enough to accommodate the royal party and their respective suites. The box was hung with a canopy of cherry () 'loured satin, embroidered with gold, and sur mounted with an imperial crown. In front wore f air chairs of state. As the Emperor and Empress had returned somewhat late from the City, and as there was afterwards a grand dinner at Buokingham Palace, the royal party_ were not expected until towards half-past nine o'clock. The opening of the doors and the Banamencement of the performances were delayed, in order to afford the more time. Soon after eight o'clock the theatre began to fill, and by half-past it presented a scene of unsurpassed bril liancy. The stalls were a-parterre of beauty and gay colours ; and every box was crowded with oc cupants, formed of the choicest of Louden society. Shot tly after half-past nine, and after the curtain had fallen on the first act of Fidelio, a stir and a buzz of expectatim announced the arri val of the royal visitors. A moment after and Queen Viet )ria was seen entering from the back of the royal box, leading by the arm the Emperor Napo leon, whom she thus, as it wore, conducted to the front, and in a manner presented to the audience. Prince Albert escorted the Empress Eugenie. The reception was enthusiastic. The whole audience rose, and the effect was magnificent. As cheer on sheer greeted the imperial guests, they repeatedly acknowledged these marks of honour. While they were still standing, the orchestra performed the air " Partant pour la Syrie," and then the national an them was sung, Mdlle. Bosio singing the plincipal verses, supported by Formes, Gardoni, and the other chief singers._ At the close of the opera, a similar scene of enthusiasm occurred. Then, "God save the Queen " preceded the " Partant pour la Syrie," with an additional, or rather a substituted verse, expressly composed for the occasion. En thusiastic manifestations of loyalty to the Queen andot welcome to the imperial visitors accompanied this display. Such an occasion does not afford much opportu nity for a critical notice of the performance. Fidelio, the opera commanded by her Majesty, has already been produced at the Royal Italian Opera in a manner fully sustaining the high reputation of this great lyrical establishment. The feature of the evening's performance was the first appearance of Mdlle. Jenny Ney as the heroine. This lady comes to us with a high reputation gained in the first lyrical theatres of Germany. Her performance last night sustained it, whether she be regarded as a singer or as an actress. The character, we need scarcely say, taxes the highest powers of a lyrical artiste. Mdlle. Noy is thoroughly German in her style of singing and acting. She possesses consi derable histrionic power, and is an accomplished vocalist. With a full soprano.voiee of great range, power, richness, and volume, ishe is fully capable of developing the deep passion with which the music of the part of Leonora is charged. We shall have other opportunities of critically noticing her performance of this character. The scene of last evening is rather to be regarded as a demonstration —as one more phase of the ovation offez ed to the Emperor and Empress of the French on the part of the people of this country, and in this respect it was fully equal to those other receptions in which the people at largo have taken the principal part. THE ILLUMINATIONS. The visit of the Emperor of the French to this country last night elicited from the people of the metropolis a fur ther desire to do honour to the occasion by an illumina tion of their houses, and many of these displays wore conducted on a large scale. The following were amongst the most prominent : THE CLUB-HOUSES. The Army and Navy, Pall-mall.--This building stood out prominent in the brilliancy of its display and the richness of its design. It consisted of a gas illumination on a large scale, composed of the Imperial crown sur mounting a shield, on which was the sword and anchor —the arms of the club. On either side of this was the union jock and tri-colour blended together, and under neath, in large characters, were the words " Victoria— Welcome—Napoleon."

Floating jets were also placed along the entire parapet of the building. This work was executed by Mr. James Palmer, gas-fitter to the theatre.
