While other dyes. destroy the hair by their pernicious properties, this liquid promotes its growth, nourishing the roots to the latest period of life. Persons who have been deceived by preparations which have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), troublesome in their application, and unsatisfactory in their colour, will find Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye a distinct article, agreeable in every respect, and that " none but itself can be its parallel."

F ABLES for the FANCIFUL—No. TY: CECILIA. AND THE TULIP. Amid the garden's peaceful shade, At evening's tranquil hour, Cecilia, meditating, strayed, And in her leafy progress stayed, To pluck a beauteous flower. " Fair lady," (quoth the chosen bloom, When taken ftom its stem) " Those roses have a rich perfume— Why take a tulip from the loom, Instead of one of them ?" Cecilia smiled, and thus addressed The golden-petalled flower : " Fair bloom, it was thy beauteous crest, Which made me choose thee from the rest, That blossOm in the bower. Flora has clothed thee with attire, Which few but thee assume ; And 'tls this dress which ranks the higher, However much I may admire . The rose's scented bloom." . APPLICATION. I heard—and smile not vt hen I say I thought of Moses' Mart, Where fashion's flowers, in choice display. Attract admirers, day by day, From many a distant part. This splendid suit, by Moses made, Has won Cecilia's smile ; She thinks the beauty here displayed, Casts every other in the shade, In paint of make and style. Ilad it not been for M. and Son, She might have passed me by ; But dress like this, excelled by none, Has, like the tulip's beauty, won Cecilia's judging eye. LIST OF PRICES. ZIADY MADK.

Of the harvest generally he says—" Wheat harvest has partially commenced and will become general this week; the crop is very good. The peas are nearly all housed, and prove a good crop. The oats aro very good partially. The beans are also good, and they are cutting them; so that if the weather should prove fine through this month, the'-harvest will be nearly completed."—Brighton Guardia s. HOP INTELLIGENCE. BOROUGH, AUGUST 13.—The accounts this morning from the Weald of Kent and Sussex come - rather more favourable. In Mid-Kent the mould is making iad havoc in some of the best grounds. The duty is at 75,0001. We• have a firm market at last week's prices. MAIDSTONE.—Where the grounds are gOod, the bines seem to be improving, but the bad grounds are getting worse. The mould is also more seen than , talked of, and in many places is increasing. We have seen brancheS of hops, but in some districts they appear to have ripened prematurely, and not to possess that powerful odour which indicates strength' and condition. MEREWORTH, TESTON, WATERINGIWRY, &c.—The hops in these parishes have grown considerably within the week, but it is questionable whether they have improved, as regards , the ultimate crop, equal to their growth. Where the bine is strong and vigorous, the mould has 'generally attacked them, and where the bine is weak, there they have not' thrown- out any branches, and those that are blackened by thR vermin have shown their incapacity to produce any crop' at all. There is not, taking the appearances Collectively; any better account to be given as to the probable produce than there was last week. YALDING.—Our hops in the fair grounds, during the late warm nights, have -done wonders, but the others remain incurable. 11010MONDEN.—In some grounds no improvement can be noticed, and they appear to be irrecoverable ; in others a great change has been effected by the late thunder showers; the bines are groiving away luxu riantly, and the burr is coming out fast. We have gardens in the parish that are likely to grow from twelve to fifteen cwt. per acre, but of these there are but few. WEST Meriano.—Some grounds are past doing anything, and others want , favourable , fweather, act grow even ' a few. • The mould is appearing in. those which looked most promising'. ' • EAST MALuivt.—There is but little or no improve ment in the blighted grounds, in the lower part of this parish. The upper grounds look somewhat better, with a slight improvement. One large gar 4 den of Mr. Browning's, on the rocks, of nearly forty acres, is looking exceedingly well, fast coming out into hop, and promises a good crop. CRANEROOL—We have devoted a considerable portion of our leisure during the past week in watch ing the progress of the bine, and in endeavouring to Ascertain what probability there exists in this locality of growing a crop. The plantation seems to have assumed three different positions the good bine, which has been comparatively - dean during the summer; and which, perhaps, constitutes one-fourth'of the cultivation; the indifferent, which was black till midsummer, but which has since thrown out a few green shoots, and may comprise half ; and the very bad pieces, which the most favourable weather can never rally, and which may be said to constitute the remainder of the plantation. The first of these have made rapid progress; the poles are covered with thick foliage in many places, the pendant flowers already appearing as light festoons, and with every prospect of a luxuriant crop. The next have improved considerably; 'the late showers, aecompa nied with thunder and; lightning, and suc ceeded by very genial weather, are mani festing their salutary effects on the bine. The last, which, as we have before stated, have be come black, and, instead of holding out any •hope- of improvement, are becoming not less nauseous to the smell than they are unpleasant to the view and unpro fitable to the grower. Such is a brief account of the state of the plant in this parish, and those persons whose long experience justly entitles 'their opi n i ons to some weight, and renders them competent to judge of the amount of duty likely to be realised, are mpst sanguine in their expectations that about eighty thousand pounds may, with a continuation of propi tious weather, be obtained. Gounnuits/..—The few gardens that have been going on a little favourably, as might be anticipated, in consequence of the few warm nights, are coming very that into hop. The whole of the blighted grounds are in one sad predicament; their time is gon6 HAWKLIURST.—The fair took place on Friday last. This fair is celebrated for the transaction of business in the hop trade, and it was as usual well attended by mercantile gentlemen from London. The general report was, that the present duty is thought to be overrated in the borough. There is'no improve ment on the whole in this parish. BRENCHLET.-IVe cannot quote any general im provement, although there is a little freshness visible in• some grounds. The season is too far advanced for us to expect any benefit from the young shoots, par ticularly as the lice follow so closely. IGHTHAM AND SEAL.

EDENBRIDGE.—There is an improvement in the best grounds, but the blighted are nearly at a stand. CANTERBURT.—The grounds here show but little improvement, and the most sanguine estimate does not exceed an average of more than a bag 'an acre. Some few grounds exhibit a promise, which, with the continuance df the present favourable weather, will, it is hoped, be realised by affording a good sample for the season, while many acres are too far gone to expect a basket to be placed in them. HURSTGREEN.—The hops in this locality are a little improved in some places, while others are worse and past all 'hope. There are some healthy looking branches stretching across the alleys, but they do not show much signs of fruit. a g n o a ne th in e to ve a rm bl i i n gh t t TICERURST, h .;: atv S e : i. c me hr improved grounds o ed w followingat within "upntre t n lha o est last totallyo young week, ng shoots and bur hive very much decreased; those re maining present a weakly appearance, and the coming • hop is showing health and vigour. • The Jones's and Colgate's are the most favoured. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, AUG. l3:—The best plantations are improving, but the blighted grounds have a very sombre appearance, and remain in statu quo.—Maidstone Gazette. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS.—The French Government has accorded to Mr. Jacob Brett the authorisation to establish on the coast of France a submarine electric telegraph between Calais and Boulogne, which, crossing the Channel, will go to Dover on the coast of England. The treaty entered into with Mr. Brett guarantees certain advantages to the French Government, and leaves all the expense at the charge of Mr. Brett, assuring him, however, a privilege for ten years in case the experiment should succeed. The works must be terminated by the Ist of Septem ber, 1850, at the latest; but it is probable that they will be finished sooner. The first application of the subma rine electric telegraph, if it should succeed, as from the long examinations which have been' made there is every reason to hope, will produce on the relations between France and England results of which it is impossible at present to estimate the importance. Dover, the point at which the submarine telegraph is to join England, is united to London by a direct telegraphic line; the capitals will, therefore, be in this manner in almost in stantaneous communication. A. case of hardship from the strained interpretation of an Act of Parliament on the part of a City company has been presented to us, which seems to call for an im • mediate remedy. By au Actpassed in 1825 the masters of all vessels under 60 tons are allowed to pilot their own vessels. The tug boats in the Thames are not only under this tonnage, but they are also worked according to the orders of the pilot conducting the ship towed. Insisting, however, upon an Act passed two years later—namely, in 1827, and which provides that none but freemen shall be permitted- to ply or work as watermen or lightermen . , or navigate or cause to be navigated any wherry, lighter, or other craft, on the Thames, the Watermen and Lightermen's Company claim thp exclusive command of these boats from Yant lett creek (between Gravesend and the Noce) to Windsor for freemen or apprentices of their body. Hence the proprietors of the tugs are prevented from giving the command to mariners or even persons trained for years in their service, and are compelled to select men whose only qualification may consist in having served an ap prenticeship of seven years to row and work in the river on board a wherry or lighter, and who are not examined as to their fitness to pilot any sea-going vessel previously to becoming freemen. A restriction so injurious to the safety of Channel and river navigation could never have been intended, and, indeed, the wording of the Act by which it is enforced will not, in reason, bear such an in terpretation. The fear, however, of contesting the point with a powerful company causes it to be submitted to, and it would, therefore, appear desirable that the matter should be put upon a just footing by some direct mea sure on the part of the Board of Trade. The change of day and ' night—of the seasons, of flowers and fruits, and whatever else meets us from epoch to epoch, so that we can and should enjoy it; these are the proper springs of earthly life. The more open we are to these enjoyments, the happier do we feel ourselves; but if the changes in these phenomena roll up and down before us without our taking interest in them, if we are insensible to such beautiful offers, then comes on the greatest- evil, the heaviest disease ; we regard life as a disgusting burden.— Eliza Cook's Journal. Mr. Nicoll, the Sheriff elect for London and Mid dlesex, has appointed the Re v .

TIMES.—The only ground on which the 'policy of the French expedition to Rome has been defended, even by the Ministers of the Republic, is the positive assurance that the restoration of the Pope, as effected by France, would be accompanied by a thorough reform of the abuses which are encrusted on the temporal government of the Papal , States. M. de Tocqueville concluded his last' speech On this subjeCt ..by ; a declaration that - he co uld undertake :to say the Pope was prepared to sanction s u ch an arrangement, and that the consequence of the Papal . restoration would not be a blind and implacable reaction . ' The' honour of France, the tranquillity of Rome, and the very existence of the Pope as a temporal Sovereign,' depend on the fulfilinetit of these engagements. Un happily, the first acts of the Pontiff betoken the exist ence of a very different spirit, and have at once roused the hostility and the suspicions of the Roman people to such a . pitch that a fresh insurrection would immediately have broken out if it had.not been, for the imposing atti tude Of the French army. General budinot had prevailed upon Prince Odeschalchi and some other eminent Rdmin laymen to constitute a species of' municipal Govern meat, in' *concert with the French anthori tiei; until such time,as 'he should hand over the govern ment of. Rome to the Pope, or to 'his representatives. These individuals 'who appear to have acted from very patriotic motives, since received General Oodinot's official thanks for ",the enlightened and active . service they bad given him in the direction of ptiblic affairs;" and it is obvious that . Pius IX. could not have done better than in entrusting the supreme p6Wer to this re-, .IPectable municipal body of Roman laymen until his own return to' the Quirinal. lie: has punned, however, a directly opposite course. The commission which ar rived in Rome on the. gd of August is a revival of the worst and most contemptible Usages of theold Papal ad; ministration. A triumvirate of. Monsignori, whose names and characters are literally abhorred by the people has assumed the reins of Government, without a word Of practical assurance to, the nation, Cir a word of remonstrance on the part of the FrenCh ,General. Their..first meaNures were ef, a ,piece with their 'prociaiiititien, They Instantly removed from office , all persona Whi) had obtained eMplOyeiene since the . '' , revolution, ` and' revolution, ` and' thereby; augmented ' the diseon. tent , of the most formiilsible and intelligent' agents of the Republican party. They rescinded all the laws passed since November, and restored the hateful and clumsy old courts .of justice.- They apPointed a commission of inquiry with undefined powers, and quashed the municipal bodies in the towns to which they ought specially to,have looked , for . support. And they repudiated One-third of the, paper currency by a measure which could ,not fail at such a moment to occa sion excessive irritation and embarrassment. This paper being inconvertible, it was the interest of the Govern ment to maintain its, circulation as long as possible; it was a convenient fiction; and as the value of the Repub lican baiocchi must have eventually declined, that would have been the time to propose the conversion of this cur rency. Coin had disappeared, and there was no remedy for this state of things but to allow the paper to sink to its own level. The unpopularity of such acts as these of Course, exaessive, and if the object of the French be to restore the Pope to power, they could not have ren dered him a greater disservice than by tolerating so fatal and absurd , a commencement. We have no doubt that when the Papal Government was attacked in November, 1848, by the murder of M. Rossi and a brutal outrage en the Pope's palace,, the better part of the Roman population were disgusted and aßpalled by such acts of violence. The Government Which was then overthrown by Mazzini was the best experiment Rome had witnessed. The Cabinet consisted of'able laymen; the Chambers had convoked the best citizens of central Italy; the destruc tion of that form of government was a fatal blow to the cause of the Constitutioa and of freedom.. But, much as that event has been deplored, we can entertain little doubt that if the . choice of the Roman people lies only between the two extremes of a complete restore-- tion of clerical misgovernment and the evils of a de mocratic they would prefer the latter. W e can conceive nuthiiii—rmife Odious than that a pow e r sanctioned by' ages, and' laying claim to something like a :divine authority, Should show itself more ar bitrary, implacable, and unjust than the dictators of a revolution ; and' if this is to be the con duct of the Court of Rome, we venture to affirm that the most hostile measures of Mazzini and his, associates will have proved less fatal to its security and power than the foolish and, intolerant actions of its own representatives. The efovved . Object of, - Frence and the Catholic Powers is to give perminence, stability, and independence to the Head of the Church to Which they belong; but the states men of those countries must perceive that this object is absoltitely unattainable, Unless it be possible to promote mutual'confidence and union between the Pontiff and the people whom he is to dwell amongst and to govern. If Pisus IX. has not 'sufficient independence of judgment and vigour of character to distinguish the just rights which he may uphold from the gross delusions which have almost buried the Papacy under their ruins, his infatuation will give the deathblow;to his power. He is said to have relied boenhtf ever miraculousolmesincehs Hegira ' i interposition girso rflight of to P Gaeta, and ceonphosis. sibly he may impute to the unlooked-for operations of the French Republic it iornewbat miraculous and super natural character. But-even Popes cannot reign super. naturally; they have no charmed lives; and their tem poral power that - of other Princes, perish when it is abused. An enthusiastic enemy of the Papal power could perhaps desire no better than to see it restored by means and with accompaniments which show its nature to be incorrigible and its downfal inevitable. We de sire to speak with greater respect of the head of so large a portion of the Christian world, but at the same time we can discover nothing in the present policy and inten tions of the Pope which seems calculated to disappoint the predictions of_ his bitterest adversaries. CHRONICLE.—The Drury-lane Reform Meeting reported in our paper of Tuesday was a display of popular 'feeling which, despite the exaggeration of its tone and the manifest extravagance of ,its professed ob jects, a far-seeing statesman will scarcely regard with supercilous indifference. It would be easy, no doubt, to find matter for criticism in this " first aggregate meet ing" of the new Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association, 'as well as in the smaller local gatherings which preceded it. - Were we to 'remark, for instance, that the leading speakers (assuming their entire since rity) greatly over-estimate the power of mere agitation as an element in the formation of English public opi pion,and that they atilt more absurdly exaggerate the practical advantages to be derived, even under the most favourable circumstances, from organic chances which, according to all? ree.ent, European experience, have no f n a e r ce a s s s w a ie r t y ih. a s affinity either to good government or to popu lar liberty, u eh expenditure—andmovement,m or e l e y wereo further to h n y e a iP a t p h p pe `the whole appears m Af F e r. a rcgoubsd Cobden hi O'Connor'' msel f feels, pu rptohs though purposes than h h o onlyt :answer saying what lin those of its originaliwomoters— we should probably be prefers to leave,it unsaid. .Vertainly the curiouslyl ame g excuse of the Leaguq leader, whom " ab " Bence prevented from " being present"--end who, while dext erous ly putting in a prospective , elaina to the command of an " army ot reserve' in'.," another campaign," contents himself for the present with admiring his "heroical" friends at a distance—is, , as we read it, the language of a man who does not More than half like the business, and who wishes to limit his responsibilities for a move ment that has outgrown hi; controul. We own, how ever, that we feel no parOeular interest in the easy, but unprofitable task of exposing faults and flaws that are sefficiently ebvious on , the surface. We hold it to be incomparably more important that fiord John Russell Shotild . notAhink too:little of Drury-lane demonstrations than that the President 'Mid Council, of the, new League should riot think too lunch of themselves and it. We are far more afraid of one mistake of the Premier's thin of all the violence of all the agitators; and if we could only assure ourselves that he was carefully studying the signs of the times,we should be more than satisfied to let the now Charter, pass off quietly. . For our own part, we have no difficulty in at once saying that we regard the present movement as being, to a not inconsiderable ex tent, a genuine one. Without for a moment imagining that any large portion of the classes whose opinion con stitutes " public opinion" are prepared for the wholesale and sweeping changes indicated in the programme of the new League, we quite believe that a conviction both of the safety and the desirableness of further electoral re forms is entertained by a numerous and increasing class ; and. we are not at.all sure that, if Ministers much longer refuse or neglect to take measures for satisfying this very legitimate popular wish, it will not eventually assume a shape At once embarrassing and formidable. For, say what we will, there is no denying that even the Drury lane agitators are truer, practically speaking, to th e s pi r it of the ago and to the genius of the Constitution, than an impassive and immobile Administration. The pr ogress i ve adaptation and re-adaptation of our political institutions to new circumstances, new feelings, and stew wants; thec or a re s c e t p io p ti erotufbimtyiscsehriyeveso, of gross and palpable us anomalies, and the in equalities;re- moval, the gradual extension of political franchises to classes of the people mentally qualified fo r th e i r exer cise, and eagerly solicitous for their enjoyment ; in a word, the theory and practice of Progress , ar e con formable to the spirit of the British people, to the precedents of our constitutional history, an d to the temper of the times. No British Minister , . therefore, however skilful and conscientious in the di sc h arge o f ordinary or extraordinary administrative responsibiliti e s, can be said to be fit for his office if he kn ows not when and how, by " measures from time to time suited to the occasion," to realise the natural and healthy popular demand for the extension and improvement of popular institutions. If, at a period whoa circumstances have he obstt na t e l y given an unusual stimulus to these progressive and re forming tendencies of the national mind, and when likewise events have smoothed the way to moderat e and rational change, by impressing aylelp,ruwdiethnt meremen with the Conservative efficacy of timely Conces sions to popular feeling—if, at such a period, a minis yteerrbials d to ise c l o a n im te e n r t s ehfiaitbseel,f: fi y ba ea li r ty" which after ar , and t n too of probable the that nation's practises—and if any league or association, avo w i ng ultra principles and extravagant objects , is left to be the favourite onl yvisib p le eli r e e y pr e e f se pre ntagtrievses—it dis we shall one day do in haste, not only many things that ought to have been done at leisure, but some things that ought not to be done at all. It needs no particular sagacity to predict, if the only two powers in.tho political arena are, on the one hand, a tolerably numerous and energetic body of agitators who know • their own minds, and, on the other, a mere Party of, Order" without any policy but that of, holding office on the easiest pos sible terms—that it is not the latter that will eventually carry the day. Other opportunities will no doubt pre sent themselves for- adverting to those particular topics which strike : us as more immediately.. deserving the , at tention of a prudently-reforming Administration; and we shall now say little more on this interestin g sub ject, than that we earnestly trust that the author of the Reform Act will spend a considerable portion of the present recess, not in preparing philosophical Parliamentary replies to Mr. Hume, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Feargus O'Connor, but in devising some rational and practical way of meeting an extremely natu ral and perfectly legitimate popular demand. Without, however, undertaking to do any part of Lord John Rus • sell's'work for him, we may perhaps suggest that the preposterous anomaly of unenfranchised payers of direct taxes to the Crown affords matter for at , least one piece of electoral reform, which any statesman of Liberal aspirations and Conservative prudence might, one would think, be only too happy to avail himself-of. Nor can we forbear adding, that some of the rather numerous list of East Retfords . discovered by the Parliamentary inquiries of last year (not to speak of the vacant Sudbury seats), together with a few of the rising Manchesters and Birtninghams that have shot up in our manufacturing districts within the last seventeen years, might very ad vantageously be catalogued, without further delay, in a pair of appropriate schedules.. Waiving, ,however, for the present, all detailed discussion of these and other similar points, let us say that the grand desideratum is, , to make a beginning of some sort—to break the ice of Finality—to give the country some practical proof that progress is possible without knocking the Constitution all to pieces, and that Conservatism does not mean standing still with folded hands while unreformed abuses, unre dressed grievances, and unappeased discontents are growing at compound interest.

(From the Registrar-General's Return.) The deaths in London during the week ending Saturday, Aug: 11, were 1,909. The mortality is somewhat less than it was in the previous week. The deaths from all causei in the six last weeks were 1,070, 1,369, 1,741, , 1,931, 1,967, and 1,909, of which 393, 630, 1,002,, 1,173, 1,308, and 1,185 were by diseases of the zymotic class. Small-pox, scarlatina, and hooping-cough are comparatively quiescent ; typhus is more fatal than it was. The excess of 901 deaths over the average is due to diarrhoea and cholera, which_were fatal to 173 and 823 persons. The deaths from cholera during , the six last weeks were . 152, 339, 678, 783, 926, and 823. The decrease is gratifying, but is ,right to observe that the im provement is chiefly confined to West London, Pop lar, St. George, Southwark, Newington, Camberwell, and Lambeth. The deaths from cholera in the two last weeks were 29 and 48 in Wandsworth, 9 and 21 in _Pancras, 4 and 14 in Islington, 3 and 10 in Lon don city, 16 and 35 in Bethnal-green, 15 and 35 in St. Giles. The deaths from all causes on the north side the Thames (1,118) were 89 more than the deaths (1,098) of the previous week. The parishes which have not yet been visited must be on their guard. Those in which the epidemic has partially subsided should redouble their precautions. The epidemic of 1832 broke out in three successive eruptions ; the first commencing in February, was at its maximum in April and subsided ; the second rose rapidly from June to July, and sunk again down to the second week of August ; its course was very much like that pursued by the present epidemic. The deaths returned by the parish clerks in the three weeks from July 17 to August 7, in 1832, were 968, 793, 661 . ; _which, allowing for the defecti in their returns and for increase of popula tion, are equivalent to 2323, 1,9,011, 1„586, or 5,812 deaths in 1849,' when the ~ , death's registered in the corresponding week were 1,931, 1,967, 1,909, or 5,80 Z ;in the three weeks July 21 to August 11. A third eruption in 1832 broke out at the end of August, and extended to the , first weeks of September ; a fourth in 1833. It is satisfactory to find that the deaths of 819 out of the 823 persons who died last week of cholera are certified. They were seen by qualified medical at tendants. But it is to be feared that the advice was not obtained in time. The accounts of the sudden stoppage of the epidemic by prompt medical treat ment and the house-to-house visitation are perhaps over-coloured. But a mortality as high now as in 1832 should not take place ; it may be prevented by improvements in the treatment, by arresting the pre monitory symptoms, by still earlier attention to the general health. Medical men are called when the people are dying; but it is then too late. If the families of the middle and higher classes were seen at intervals during the epidemic by their medical attendants, and a corps of medical officers employed by the guardians to visit the poor at short intervals, the present epidemic might very probably be cut short, and a third eruption be averted. The precise locality in which almost every victim of cholera lived is given in the present return under each dis trict ; would it not be practicable for the autho rities to have all these and the neighbouring localities inspected ? If this were done and proper precautions taken, the tragedies of Albion terrace, Wandsworth-road, where seventeen persons died in two weeks in ten houses, could scarcely recur. Another case appears this week in the note under Hampstead. In the house No. 6, Albion -terrace five deaths had b e e n registered—a Wesleyan mi nister's wife, aged 59 ; his mother, 80 ; a widow, 49 ; and two old servants. This is all we learn from the Clapham registrar. The registrar of H am p s t ea d a dd s that during the week an aged man came with a friend to Hampstead for change of air —breakfasted, dined, went to London to transact business at the Bank of England, and after his return seemed " pretty well." At six o'clock the next morning he felt ill, had medical advice, but died in eight hours. This old minister was apparently the last of his family, for he had seen his mother, wife, and servants die before him in Albion-terrace, and could not ily from the poison which he carried in his breast. Such scenes of deso lation could scarcely happen without gre at negligence on the part of the people themselves and on the part of the authorities. SCREW STEAMING.—Messrs.

The Bosphorus left Blackwall about one o'clock, and made five runs in Long Reach, the mean rate of which showed a speed of 9.G79 knots per hoer, which is considered by the above scientific gentle men the best result ever obtained by a screw-vessel of the same horsepower per ton. The Bosphorus was much admired for her symmetry, and the engines worked with the greatest accuracy, without noise ; the vibration could scarcely be felt at any part of the ship. The following particulars will be satisfactory to those interested in the propulsion of ships by the screw : The Bosphorus is 175 feet between the perpendiculars, breadth 25 feet, depth 15 feet, engines 80-horse power, direct acting ; draft of water on trial, forward, 6 feet 8 inches, aft, 9 feet 6 inches; mean draft of water, 8 feet 1 inch; screw, 14 inchea above the water ; diameter of screw, 10 feet 6 inches ; pitch, 18 feet 6 inches; mean revolutions, 62.2 per minute ; speed of screw, 11.348 knots; slip, 14.7 per cent.; length of engine-room, 30 feet, including stowage for 150 tons of coals.

I DOVER, WEDNESDAY.—This gigantic undertaking, which has been steadily and satisfactorily progressing since its commencement two 3ears since, was this day visited and inspected by his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Noble and Gallant Duke arrived at Walmer Castle on Monday, and came over here this morning to preside at a special meeting of the Harbour Commissioners, of whom his Grace, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, is the official head. The fact of the Noble Duke's intended arrival having been made known to the military commandant, Colonel Tylden, R.E., that ga ll an t officer gave directions that a guard of honour should be in attendance to receive his Grace upon his arrival at the sessions -house, and at eleven o'clock 100 men of the 50th Regiment, with the band and colour of the corps, marched down from the barracks under the command of Brevet Major Long, and took up their station in front of the building. The visitors and townspeople also came out in great numbers to greet the Duke, and the harbour presented a very gay appearance, the fleet of steamers moored therein displaying all the canvas they could muster. Precisely at a quarter to twelve o'clock his Grace's barouche was observed descending the Castle hill, and at the same moment the heavy booming of artillery firing a salute from the battery on the heights an nounced the approach of the Noble and Gallant Duke. About ten minutes were occupied in the descent of the hill, and at the expiration of that time the Duke's carriage drew up in front of the Harbour Sessions House. His Grace on alighting was received by , Colonel Tylden, R.E., the Commandant of the Gar rison ; Mr. Jenkinson, Lieut.-Governor of Dover Castle ; Colonel Pettet, of the 50th Regiment ; and several other officers. The Commissioners present to meet the Lord Warden were—Sir E. Dering, Bart., Captainm.p. IMP., Mr. A H t a h m e ,mAr Hammond, r u . m p p a t s r s e i , ll A . Deed es, Jenkinson,ees and the Mayor of Dover (Mr. Payne). The Noble Duke, having exchanged salutations with the various officers, entered the Sessions House, and the business of the meeting was immediately proceeded with. This consisted chiefly in receiving the reports of Mr. Walker, the engineer, and Mr. Hardwick, the architect to the Harbour Commissioners, as to the state of the works now in progress ; each of which having been read, were respectively approved and adopted. The appointment of registrar to the Commissioners, vacant by the resignation of Mr. G. 'W. Ledger, was conferred by the Court upon Mr. G. Thompson, of Dover. The Noble Duke having expressed a strong desire to inspect the harbour of refuge, in progress of formation at this port, Mr. Walker, who combines the twofold character of engineer to the Harbour Commissioners, and also to the Government in this great national undertaking, at once volunteered to conduct his Grace over the works. Before proceed ing to describe the Noble and Gallant Duke's visit of inspection, it may be well to remind the reader of the circumstances under which the work itself has been undertaken. The desirability of forming harbours of refuge on our southern coasts has for years past been admitted both within and without the walls of Par liament, and the important recommendation of the Committee who sat upon this subject two or three sessions since, to the effect that five such harbours should be at once commenced, will be freely in the recollection of most of our readers. The localities recommended were, first of all—as most important to the maritime service of the country—Dover, and, after that, Portland, Harwich, and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Alderney. The works of all these are in progress, though none has yet advanced to anything like the degree of completion attained at Dover. The difficulties to be surmounted at the latter port were for some time considered to be almost insur mountable, owing to the constant accumulation of shingle in Dover Bay, which it was very naturally feared would create an obstacle to the free passage of vessels of large burden to and from the proposed harbour. The inconvenience arising from this accu mulation has been notorious for years past, and the necessity of landing and embarking in small boats at ebb tides has rendered the continental passage, via Dover, very objectionable. All the anticipated diffi culties, however, appear to have been surmounted by the engineering skill of Mr. Walker, and although only a small portion of the proposed harbour wall is yet finished, the effect already produced is sufficient to show that when complete, this part of the coast, which has heretofore been dreaded by mariners as one of the most dangerous in the Channel, will form a perfectly secure haven. One circumstance we may mention in proof of the correctness of this opinion, and it is this, that since the com mencement of the operations, the shingle which formerly accumulated in the bay has altogether disappeared, in consequence of which the Harbour Commissioners have been enabled to take away a quantity of rock from the mouth of the old harbour and give three feet greater depth of water to vessels entering. The plan of the proposed harbour may be described in brief to consist of the enclosures of about 500 acres of water, extending from about 100 yards west of the old harbour nearly to the South Foreland. That portion of the contract already let consists of a wall or pier running out from the main land 800 feet into the sea. This pier is 63 feet in width, and 29 feet above low-water mark. The west wall consists of 18 feet, and the east wall of 16i feet of solid masonry, Portland and Bramley I all stone of the best quality being used in their con struction. The centre is filled up with patent con crete, composed of due proportions of s hi ng l e , hy draulic lime, and pozolanna (or lava from the burning mountains), obtained at Civita Vecchia, the extraordi nary binding qualities of which, when ground to a fine powder, and moistened with water, have only recently been discovered. The foundation of this wall is laid six feet below low water mark, and the operations for this portion of the work are carried on in three colossal diving bells, the arrangement of which is so perfect that the workmen remain under water for five hours at a time, hewing the rock and fitting in the stones, the least of which, by the terms of the contract, must weigh three tons. The contractors for the execution of the work are Messrs. Henry Lee and Son, of Chiswell-street, who executed the branch of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elms to the Waterloo Station. They com menced work in July, 1847, the contract allowing them seven years for its completion ; but so favour ably have their operations been conducted that at the present moment, two years only having expired, they have already advanced 400 feet into the bed of the ocean. The vastness of the undertaking makes the sum total allowed for its completion (230,0001) ap pear a very small sum of money, and profit can only be realised by the most rigid economy of arrange ment. This is carried out in a very marvellous degr e e. • r ee. One small steam-engine of twelve horsepo wer landed in less a crane by which a cargo of stonec a than one-tenth of the time it would occupy l a bour employed. More than 600 were manual tons of stone hive ebeen delivered on to the trucks of the contractor in 'one week by this engine, which we should mention is also made subservient to the grinding of lime and pozolanna at the same time. One circumstance came to -our knowledge yesterday, which will probably occasion some little surprise. Of the advantage of the proposed harbour of refuge to the Harbour Commis sioners there cannot be a doubt ; we were therefore astonished to learn that these very Commissioners levy a toll of 1311 per ton on all the stone landed for the purposes of the work. We now return to the inspection made by the Lord Warden. His Grace having ascertained that Mr. Walker's presence was required at Inverness on public business to-morrow—a circumstance which would oblige him to leave Dover by the afternoon train, the Noble Duke begged his co-commissioners to excuse his presence shortly before the business of the court had concluded, in order that he might view the harbours of refuge, under the conduct of that gen tleman. At the entrance of the works, Mr. Walker introduced Mr. Lee, the contractor, to the Noble Duke, and then proceeded to explain the progress of the undertaking. The Noble Duke was first shown the process by which the loose shingle is co nverted into solid blocks equal in strength to the him self most durable stone, with which his Grace expressedthe much pleased. Walking some, distancelyas enabled direction of the Shakspere cliff, his Grace • Returning to the the mode of its construction . out the effect of the inner wall, Mr. Walker pointed to survey the outer wall of the pier, and . to observe producing a perfect calm in shelter already obtainedwithinu he pier while a rough sea was rr Noble Duke, on observing Ch rn ni n g theoutside. ciit o this, exclaime d ,answer —I am sure it •will " O „ , yes; I se e—l s ee — it ll And again, in reference t o th e . ll of masonry presented by' th e external f h the so lid vva t onewor k, his Grace remarked to M r . L ee t h at it s app eared to him to be " very good work —very fine w ork indeed." After traversing the pier for some distance, and entering into conversation with Mr. Walker on the subject, his Grace, addressing that gentleman, said, " I have no objection to all this, Mr, Walker, but (striking his hands together, and speaking emphatically) you must finish it —you must carry it out in a workmanlike manner." Mr. Walker assured the Noble Duke that he would take care of that. Before le,aving the works the Noble and. Gallant Duke pealed to Mr. Ira, the harbourlntister, us to whether _ - )4 7" he had any difficulty in entering e harbour now. Mr. Iron replied that there was not ; that the diffi culties which formerly existed had been very sensibly diminished since the Government works were begun, and that in his judgment the proposed harbour of refuge would prove of immense service to the com munity. The Noble Duke then left the works and proceeded to inspect the harbour of Dover itself where the various improvements in progress, and recently effected, were pointed out to his Grace by Mr. Walker ; among the rest the new patent slip for repairing steamers, and the protection wall along the esplanade now in process of erection by Messrs. Lee, and the new steam dredging machine for deepening the harbour. The Noble Duke having made the circuit of the harbour, with great consideration in sisted upon Mr. Walker's proceeding direct to the railway, 2nd after taking leave of that gentleman, his Grace walked to Birmingham's Ship Hotel, and paid a visit to the Lord Chancellor, who, with his family, is at present sojourning at that establishment. The Noble Duke returned to Walmer in the courso of the afternoon. MURDER AND SUICIDE AT PECKHAM. Last evening Mr. Carter held an inquest at the Marlborough Arms, South-street, Camberwell, on the bodies of Maria Lindsay, aged 22, and Charlotte Lindsay, aged seven months, the illegitimate daughter of the former and a person of the name of Rich, who were found drowned in the basin of the Peckham branch of the Surrey canal, about four o'clock in the morning of Monday last. From the evidence of the various witnesses, it appeared that the deceased had formerly been in the service of a respectable family on Rye-common • but, having lost her situation, was employed by a Mrs.i Jackson, a laundress in the same neighbourhood ; and about four months since she was engaged by Mr. Jackson to superintend the manage ment of a small general shop, called Rosa Cottage, Shearmore-place, Rye-lane, his son also following the occupation of a general dealer, and peram bulating the neighbourhood with a cart. The deceased Maria Lindsay, who was described as being a most industrious and well-behaved young woman, notwithstanding her unfortunate liason with the father of her child, (Trom whom it appeared she had never received any relief, nor could his whereabouts be traced), had gained the esteem of both Mr. and Mrs. Jackson, and the son had conceived so great an affection for her that he had contributed to the support of her infant, and offered her marriage, believing (as he said in his evidence) " she would make a good and industrious wife." On Sunday last a conversation ensued between them relative to the marriage, when he told deceased it might as well take place about next Monday week, and they had better put up the banns at the cheapest place. Some time after this conversation the deceased went out to see some acquaintances in the neighbourhood, leaving her child in bed at home, and did not return for upwards of an hour, when young Jackson remonstrated with her. She replied, " Never mind," and took up the baby. and went out as it was supposed to sup with a friend, but nothing more was heard of her until her body and that of the infant child were taken out of the Canal Basin, near Archer's coal wharf at Peckhatn. The - only important evidence adduced during the inquiry, to show that the deceased must for some time have contemplated the act, was that of Mrs. Cecilia Shergo]d, who deposed to repeated conversations with the deceased, in which she expressed the distress of mind she experienced at her inability to support her infant, and to find the residence of the lather, to compel him to contribute towards its support. About three weeks ago the deceased stated she was determined to destroy herself, and would some day " drown herself and the baby." The witness urged her to acquaint her father and mother with her position, as they were ignorant of her dishonour. She, however, refused to afflict them with the fact, as they held a respectable position in the county of Oxford. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the deceased Maria Lindsay with respect to the deceased Charlotte Lind say, and that the deceased destroyed herself in a fit of temporary insanity. .---/ ~.- / -.l__- / '' • • . --- .. , ,7 47'.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The dockyard and Vic tory were honoured with a visit of inspection this morn ing from their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklen• burg Strelitz, who were conducted over the establishments by Admiral Sir Bladen Cspel, Rear-Admiral Prescott, Captains Blackwood, Yates, &c. The Arrogant, 46, Captain Fitzroy, was docked this morning to ascertain her defects. Her Majesty's steamer Lizard, Lieutenant Hollin worth, arrived this morning from Rio de Janeiro, after a very stormy passage. Her crew are all in excellent health. She has brought no specie, nor any invalids or passengers. Her news is not important. She touched at Fayal to coal. On the 11th inst., when 600 miles from the land, she shipped a heavy sea, which carried away the starboard quarter boat off the davits, broke the starboard paddlewheel, and coming inboard, knocked the man steering over the wheel, and killed him on the spot. She proceeds to Woolwich to pay off. Wind S.W.; fresh bretzx:‘, and fine weather. PLYMOUTII, A Uc. 15.—The Lords of the Admiralty arrived, per express train, via the South Devon Rail way, on Monday afternoon, at five o'clock, shortly after which they entered the dockyard at Devonport, visited and inspected the new dock and basin, and left at half past six in the evening. At ten o'clock on Tuesday m.rning their Lordships commenced their labours in the dockyard by a careful examination of the engine house, after which they minutely inspected all the store houses, joiners' shops, mast-houses, mould-lofts, &c.; and at three in the afternoon took water for the purpose of visiting the new steam-yard at Keyham, the cost of which has been the subject of so much discusAion in tho House of Commons. On descending into the Admiral's barge, their Lordships were greeted by a salute of 19 guns from her Majesty's ship Impregnable, 104, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, the yards of which were manned by her fine crew, dressed in white frocks and blue trou sers. At Keyham, the Admiralty flag was hoisted on the top of the engine-house chimney, which is 100 feet high from the base, and has been finished only within the last fortnight, and the union-jack was flying at the office. Their Lordships landed just opposite the entrance dock. The present state of the works of this important and valuable addition to the arsenal is as follows: Keyham works are bounded on the west by liatnoaze, on the south by Moon's Cove, on the east by the turn pike-road leading from Devonport to Saltash, and on the north by the old Keyham powder-works. The river (Elamoaze) wall is completed, from the south to the north, as tar as the cofferdam will allow; and the Moon's Cove wall, facing Morice-town, is finished from the west to the east, near the eastern or main entrance in the turnpike-road. The south basin is nearly completed, with the exception of the east wall, and the entrances to the docks. The north dock is progressing with expedi tion. The entrance between the basins is nearly finished, as is the entrance from the north basin to the river. The west and south walls of the north basin are com plete, and nearly all the excavation has been removed. The entrance lock is nearly completed. The engine house for pumping the docks is finished; the machinery and boilers have arrived, and will be fixed immediately. The factory buildings and officers' houses have not been commenced; it is expected that the foundations will be laid shortly after April, 1850. There are 800 artificers and labourers now employed by the contractors, Messrs. Baker and Son. The expen diture on these works formerly was 10,0001. per month; it is now reduced to about 5,5001. The careful inspection of the steam-yard concluded the official duty of their Lordships on Tuesday. It is probable that the dockyard men will be mustered; and the battalion inspected on Wednesday; and that on Thursday the Lords of the Admiralty will, in the Black Eagle, escort out of the harbour, an d procee d some dis tance down Channel, with her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, Captain Wise, bound to the Mediterranean. Her Majesty's brig Grecian was taken into dock on Saturday, to be examined and repaired. Her Majesty's ship Queen, 110, was paid wages on Monday. The sails of her Majesty's frigate Nimrod were taken to the dockyard on Monday; her crew commenced dis mantling the same day, and all her guns and tanks_ were taken out by the evening. She will be paid off on Friday.
