On this side of the Palatinate; and Rheinish Prussia a recti fication might be- demanded with justice and coun selled by prudence. It would have the inapprecia ble advantage of satisfying the exigencies of our defence without i rr it a ti ng th e national pride of Ger many ; it would „calm both our inveterate passion for the Rhine tind the recent apprehensions of the German populations. This new frontier line would become definitive, becante it would be made by agreement, and henceforth would disappear that dream of the Rhine s o sweet to some minds on this side, but which weighs like a nightmare on Ger many and Belgium. Reassured about_ Antwerp, England would see with less difficulty the extension of our influence • in the Mediterranean, and our alliance with her r become more intimate,would allow us to pursue in Europe the work of justice and re paration to which we have been called by: a great sovereign.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE fully explained in J. GROSSIKITIPS " GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES." The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex - perienced In 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi ness has now become, the grim torture. Purity of motive. intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all is lost, AU denominations of 'Constitutions are carefully examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin ciples." But the groat importance of the pamphlet does not lie in this. It is in the rejection of all idea of annexing the banks of the Rhine, and in the recon struction of the kingdom of Poland, which is pro posed in concert with Prussia. It indicates a fur ther step in the destruction of the treaties of 1815, and the application of the principle of national in dependence which wv; bt in Italy.

The article then goes on to remark " In the course of the last 10 years almost all the Sovereigns of Europe have come officially, in the face of Heaven, to contemplate the singularly in structive spectacle of a great people rescued all at once from the intestine quarrels which were ex hausting its force, and replaced, almost by miracle, at the head of nations. Kings and princes had, up to that time, learnt to their cost how revolutions begin, and it was natural that they should wish to see how they finish under the prudent and firm hand of a moderator and a chief. Imperial France, on her part, has received these Royal visits without pride, but with legitimate satisfaction. She has only seen in them what was to be seen—not the coalition for a temporary object of two contrary principle's, not even the possibility of a wretched compromise, but the hope that the interviews would remove much prejudice, animosity, and hatred ; that they would put an end to the costly apprehensions which for 50 years kept European nations with arms in hand and face to "face; in short, that with the Sovereigns learning to esteem and understand each, other, the' populations would end by understanding and liking each other. Ann the d,at :reproaching tlienrotmri visits rnent "France eees no thingelso i of the King of Prussia and the-King of Holland." The case is not, however, exactly the same in Ger many, the writer observes, and a certain disquietude in evinced there at the presence of King William in France. The Paris journal declares that such anxiety would excite surprise were it not that lately the Cabinet of Vienna, soliciting the alliance of Prussia, sustained a check at Berlin ; and yet, ac cording to reliable information, the conditions which Austria proposed were altogether unexpected, being nothing less than to abandon' the direction of the Germanic Confederation, and even to make a sacrifice of all her remaining influence in Germany, Prussia would consent to afford her a support sufficient to consolidate her position at home and overcome the resistance of the nationalities which claim from the house of Hapsburg their self-government. The French writer theft inquires whether Austria, when strengthened in her situation, would have kept her promises. Prussia was unwilling to ran the risk of a trial, and her journals remarked with undisguised bitterness that Vienna was accustomed to place in gratitude in the very first rank of her political virtues. They consequently strongly dissuaded the Prussian Government from entering on any such alliance, even if paid for by greater concessions than were then proposed. The Austrian jour nals raised a cry of alarm concerning the King's visit, and. insinuated the possibility of certain poli tical arrangements of a ' nature to alarm the patrio tic sentiment of Germany. The Prussian press, so resolute in face of the promises of Austria, mani fists at present less firmness, observes the writer—. who is no other than M. Grandguillot—and stam mers out that the visit is only one of simple cour tesy ; that as the Emperor had carried his card to Baden, King William is about to leave his at Com piegne. The writer expresses his disbelief that two such powerful monarchs could meet merely to ex change some every-day acts of politeness. " You imagine," says the article, " That the presence of the King of Prussia at Compiegne is anything but a political event. In fact, it is more than a political event, and, if an abusive employment had not been made of the ex pression, we should say that it is a social event ; we confine ourselves to saying that it is, at the very least; an economic one. During the last two years, 40 la klit/WII, ...cot 40tive negotiatiown bovn carried on between Potsdam and the Tuileries to obtain the lowering of the barriers of the Zollverein and to open respectively the German markets to French productions, and French markets to German productions. Such a matter, is no doubt, in the opi nion of certain persons, only a seconi.ary one, but in our eyes it is of great importance. Political trea ties only reconcile Governments, but commercial treaties reconcile nations. The former, however sincere and fair-dealing the governments are, may be broken by the slightest circumstance; the latter, however imperfectly they are at first established, provided only they be based on a true principle, triumph over all obstacles and end by dominating the former. Let the English aristocracy, and in par ticular let the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, be asked what they think and what they expect of the Rouher and Cobden treaty. King William, as we have already more than once had the proof, is one of the princes who know how to understand both their country and their epoch. The firmness and uprightness of his character are proverbial ; he is of the race of those piinces who boldly declare to their peoples that 'they place under foot unjust prejudices and shortsighted hatred ; that they dis dain an ephemeral popularity, and only seek for the impartial approbation of posterity.' " A letter from Paris says :—The Royal visit is more than ever the subject of interest and comment. It has thrown everything else into the background. All the papers have 'leaders on the subject, and criticize those In all other papers, French, English, and German. The whole press seems to have agreed to welcome King William and the Prussian alliance. The official papers are warmer in their feelings than any of the others—yesterday the Coastitu tionnel, to-day the Patrie. The latter, like the former, sees more than an act of high courtesy in the visit; it sees . a political and patriotic inspiration, calculated to put an end to misunderstandings and prejudices, which are not the consequence of a natu ral hostility of the two races, but which result from their respective positions, as produced by certain events i a and , whose os certain recollections einissionuwasto of their maketotria h m is p to h ry. in frontierFG r e a r n m a e n y i thesas tthe he i e d s e : a odfar advancedd progress be arseern a t i n wn d ea s l i b po e lf r a t o y : hd o e f own: the Alliance. She found herself in a struggle for in fluence with Austria, her hereditary enemy, and be tween the rival pretensions of England and Russia. The friendship of France alone can free her from those bonds and restore her her liberty. Prussia is at the head of the aspirations of Germany, and what Power would - show sympathy for such a revolution ? Not Austria, who is threatened herself by such a revolution ; not Russia, who must dread a powerful barrier in the West; and not England, anxious to keep up the present state of things. After this ar gument comes the following mysterious passage : " There would remain but France, and France alone, if, in face ofou th r ei o n p i e n ensindatio n frontiers, r powerful in terestsp ast would o f s e security onlyt y and independence this fatal enee legacy not make o e f g a acy gen o f the us roe a peril of what without policy." The passage about open frontiers reminds one a good deal of the disavowed hint about the sponta neous guarantees offered by Italy. The article con cludes with a hope that all the past will be forgotten. The pamphlet " Le - Rhin et la Vistnle" appeared yesterday. Friday seems the day destined for the appearance of pamphlets which have the mission to make a noise. As you 'will see from the copy you received, the resume I sent you a few days ago is tolerably cor rect; torero is, however, one passage to which I must draw your attention. After proving that the incorporation of so large a r,roup of Germans as dwell on the left bank of the Rhine would be a cause of weakness to France by imperilling the homogenity of the nation, the pamphlet continues: — Nevertheless, it could scarcely be maintained that our frontier in the East must for ever remain such as the diplomatists of 1815 lave traced it. With- 'The Belfast Newsletter, f•f Saturday, leas the fol lowing : " Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, a very serious collision took place in the Irish Channel Semaphore, Captain between cam the pbell, b -steamer-st t e o ane t t t r e Belfast Steam Ship Company, and the brig Nereid, of Whit e h aven , and resulted in the loss of 'the latter vessel, and the serious injury of the,steamcr. The Semaphore was 'on her. way from Liverp?el for. Belfast, and the 'Nereid' was bound from WhitehaN'en to Card4f.with A cargo of iron ore. The Oalornin— was dark, and 'there was a thick fog, and the vessels were about 'five miles off the Calf of .flan when the collision took place. Of course the most contradictory 'statements are made as to the cause of the collision. Those in charge of tWeSemaphore assert that they were run into by the brig, and that the latter had no lights up, while the mate of the latter asserts that his lights were all in proper order, having been trimmed an hour before; that the helm was ported when they saw the Steamer,.and starboarded when they saw she was coming down on them; but that, when the helm was starboarded, the Se maphore again altered her course, and coming in Collision, struck the brig on the port bow and car ried it away. However it may have occurred, the brig immediately after the collision began to settle down in the water. The hands, seven in number, including the captain, took to their boat and came alongside the steamer for safety, and the Nereid went down about twenty minutes afterwards. It was soon found that the Semaphore had re eeived most serious injury from the collision. A large hole had been made in the front, and the fore ,compartment began to fill with water. Apprehensions were . entertained that she also would go down. The passehgers, male and female—many of them in their night-dresses—were got into the boats, and remained close to the steamer to await ale result. The water filled the fore compartment and the steamer went down much deeper than usual.; but, after some time, it was found that the worst had been reached, and that, with prudent management, she could be got into port. The passengers and the crew of the Nereid were then taken on board, and the vessel's course directed for Belfast Lough. It was only by the greatest exertions that Captain Campbell was able to keep the steamer afloat, and her disabled condi tion as she passed the Sound at Donaghadee was a subject of general comment to those who saw her from the shore. On reaching Holyhead Bank the captain did not hesitate an instant, but ran the 'vessel aground to prevent her sinking, and the passengers were brought up to town by the tag Steamer Queen, after a voyage of the most intense anxiety and distress. It is gratifying that, beyond a few scratches received by a boy who was in the rigging of the Nereid, no one in either vessel re ceived any injury. "The following address was presented to Cap tain Campbell before the passengers came up to Belfast " ' Steamship Semaphore, Oct. 4. " ' Dear. Sir,—Wo, the undersigned cabin passengers by your vessel from Liverpool to Belfast, cannot leave you without expressing our gratitude and admiration of your conduct under the trying circumstances in which you were placed, this morning during and after, the collision with the brig Nereid. " We take this opportunity of testifying to your noble conduct and admirable seamanship, and also your polite bearing to, and care of, every one on board, as woll as the crow of the unfortunate vessel in the hour of danger. " We also express our adiniration of the conduct dis. played by Mr. Creem, the chief officer, and Mr. Briscoe, the chief steward, t oge th er with the crew generally.

The intended meeting 'of the cab-proprietors of Dublin was held on Friday evening in their rooms, Fishambla-street. 4 The place was crowded to excess with cab owners and drivers, who manifested the deepest interest in the probeedings. The chairman, Mr. JOHN KELLY, of tho Baggot street stand, in the course of a vigorous speech, re marked that if the meeting had been held in the Rotunda, that room, large as it was, would not hold all that would have asseirlbled there to express their horror of this atrocious outrage. (Cheers.) It was a crime which, looked at in any light, was of the blackest dye. (Hear, hear.) As a breach of trust it could not be exaggerat4d—it blacked the deeper the more it was consideret ; and as citizens, fathers, husbands, and brothers, til l y were bound to be alive in the matter, and not to ease their,exertions until the miscreant was placed in the hands of justice. (Cheers.) The resolutio which would be pro feeblyiposed, though couched in trong lan g ua g e, but ver y expressed the indi nation the y felt for theposed, conduct of this Sopoy, wh ever he was, whose con duct had not been equalled in atrocity within his (Mr. Kelly's) remembrance. It reminded one forcibly of the horrible outrages which had been committed on their countrywomen daring the Indian mutiny, and the rallying cry of every man who loved and respected his mother, sister, wife, or child should be, We have wives and sisters to protect and revenge.' (Cheers.) The superhuman exertions of the young lady, by which she succeeded in ultimately escaping from the wretch's grasp, was a proof, if such were wanting,that death before dishonour' is our coun trywomen's motto. (Cheers.) They were not there, however, to make long speeches, but to work ; for if speeching could do any good, their country would be the happiest land on the face of the earth. (Hear, hear.) The Freenian, from we extract the above, does not give the resolution. Our Manchester correspondent informs us that it was reported on Saturday that a cab-driver, charged with this offence, had been apprehended in the neighbourhood of Ashton-under-Lyne. ~j On ThursdaVOVening :grand banquet took place io a ihn.f t aigreidt t :h l t i seeh e .u-ecpcc ß :cosaies o elzio y a sresn a msf oe l unlE ! . .

''He had been our brother in arms; he had shown a dispositiOn to draw more closely the ties of friendship and commercial enterprise, by making a commercial !treaty.

J. MA CNAUGHT. The Rev. J. Macnaught has issued a. written ex planation to his congregation of the reasons which induced him to resign the incumbency of St. Chry sostom, Everton, Liverpool. His opinions, he says, since be came among them, have undergone a gra dual change, which, in all its phases, has been' honestly avowed. He declares that he has con cealed nothing which was, in his own mind, a dis tinct and recognised conviction : Opposition has often been raised against my preaching and publication. Sympathy has at least as often been shown for the freedom with which I spoke and wrote. Under the influences of that opposition and that sympathy it has not always been easy to separate myself from such excitement as might lead to my rashly resigning• the ministry on the one hand, or to my improperly retaining that ministry on the other hand. Now, however, for some months past, I have enjoyed an almost un broken quietness: My mind has been able to reflect, and there have been few disturbing causes. All has been prosperous in our church and its various modes of activity, and I have been able, with com parative peace, to consider my position and duty. There have been many inducements for me to re main as I was. The social position of a clergyman, the enjoyment of a moderate but sufficient income from the Church, the wishes of dear friends, the evident opportunities for manifold usefulness, the flattering attention of a large congregation, in a full church, the generally improved and improving con dition of schools and choir and district, the desire to vindicate, freedom of. speech and thought for the ministry of. England's Church—these have bean mighty, though far from being the sole, inthicements to remain and minister among you. In alliance with these motives there has been the dread of changing one's, profession, the risk of los ing valued friendships, and the fear of doing posi tive harm, if any should suppose that one abandoned religion or Christ in abandoning the position of an English clergyman. These and such like considerations have so far kept me at my post, though I have sometimes found it difficult to reconcile the changes of my opinions with the unchanging formularies of ancient centuries. Till quite lately I have accepted all the Prayer Book in some scriptural sense. Now I find myself unable longer to express my " unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything contained in the Book of Common Prayer;" and therefore it is time for me to retire from a position which de mands such "assent and consent" from its occu pants. Let me not be misunderstood. I have as firm a hold—nay, a far firmer hold than ever—upon the great Christian principles of love to God and love to man. Reflection has strengthened—as I trust it has also purified—my Christian hopes of a future life and its discernment between good and evil. These are not matters of doubt or disbelief withme. I could still continue to preach on these subjects honestly, and you will, perhaps, kindly think, not unprofitably or unacceptably, as I have done before. It might not be necessary to allude to the points in which my opinions fail to harmonise with the dogmas of the Church. Suppression of a few truths now recognised by me would, doubtless, allow me legally and safely to retain my pulpit as long as I chose and God permitted. All this I know full well; but I also know that with many of the Prayer Book's teachings—for ex ample, on the clergyman's supposed power to re mit or retain sins, as expressed in the Ordination Service, on the subject of confession as contained in the Service for the Visitation of the Sick, on the doctrine of "regeneration," as treated of in the Baptismal Service, on the Athanasian Creed, on vicarious punishment—with the teaching, I say, of the English Prayer Book on these and other points, I can no longer express "unfeigned assent and consent," if these words and the Church formularies are to bear any natural and gramma tical signification. Under these circumstances, what am Ito do ? I know no other communion which is as tolerant as the Church of England, or whose ministers are as free as hors. Hence I do not see my way to enter any other church or its ministry. One thing only is clear, that my duty as a conscientious Christian Englishman is to re sign my ministry, and its emoluments and its dig nity. This I must do if I am to retain my self respect. What is to follow I know not. God's Providence will lead me if I yield myself to His guidance. I go to seek a livelihood in any calling of simple industry that may open to me. Other men will preach in my pulpit. Other men will bear rule in my schools and in my district. You and I will probably be preached to and prayed with in man ners widely different from those to which we have been accustomed. For my part, I shall take my place among the laymen of England's Established Church. There I trust we shall all still worship h a ppily. Whatever changes may betide, let us ever be found fighting on the side of truth, free dom, progress, Christ, and God. According to a despatch from Rome of the 4th, the Siamese Ambassadors had had an audience of the Pope.

He did not know how they could more effectually or more economically carry otit any scheme than the one he was happy to see now going so smoothly along. _lt was unlike the ola, scheme by a system of bounties, aud, he was sorry to say, of drunkenness and debauchery. Soldiers required training through a long series of years, but the Re• serve required ,very little training, for the simple reason that no man-of-war's man could surpass them, for.the hardy men, who manned our :colliers and Baltic ships were superior to any seamen in the world. (Cheers.) H o Me ant no di sparagemen t t o their friends over the water.

(Cheers) The fact was, it was natural to them. Englishmen in their boyhood turned as naturally to the boat and sail as the French to their drums and fifes. It was as great folly for France to attempt to become a great ma ritime Power as it would be for us to attempt to become a great military power. We were es sentially a seafaring peeple. We had been so from , generation to generation, and would continue so, for our strength had ever been oirthe 'water, and our strength must ever be on it.

He would take an opportunity to mention in Parliament that he never saw guns so scientifically handled as he had that day, and that while the country had such men as they atere was no fear of a foreign foe. , THE SPEED OF STEAMBOATS. (From, the Stem Shipping chronicle!) In no, country, either on this or the other side of the At lantic, has so much progress been made in the construction of steam-boats arid their machinery as in England. The' enginomakers of Prance r Belgium, and Switzerland turn out some very respectable specimens of workmanship, but in many cases this is done by the agency of English work- men, and almost invariably under English superintendence. Though the rate of wages is much lower for native than for English workmen on the continent, yet it is often found more economic to employ the latter, and it would be very difficult to gb into a foreign factory the superintendent of which is not a native of these islands. And, notwithstand ing the boasts of Brother Jonathan, and his exaggerated statements as to the performance of his craft he has never yet produced a steamer which for safety solidity, and speed, can compete with those turned out of our. own workshops. We look upon the record of the performances of some of the American river boats as mere "bunkum," and when we hear of a fabulous number of knots run within the hour, we regard the statement as wo should do one of Colonel Croc kot's stories of the number of bears ho slaughtered, and as worthy of as much credit as Barnum's guarantee . for his mermaids. By dint of employing high-pressure engines, loaded to an absolutely dangerous pressure, and taking cre dit for the speed induced by running down a rapid current, we believe that high velocities are sometimes obtained on American rivers, but wo will match either of the Holyhead mail-packets or the Dover mail-boats to beat any vessel that the Yankees can produce, even though the safety_ valve should be loaded to 6:: bursting point. They once had a fair trial with us in the Atlantic passage, when Col lins's boats were built to compete with the Canard liners, peed they were at last reluctantly compelled. to admit their inferiority .. As far as we have yet progressed in our experience of the construction of hulls and the application of steam power, although there is evidently a limitation to the speed that can be realised in navigation, we have not yet attained nearly to that limit. At present this limit may be fixed at something near 30 miles an hour, beyond which rate of speed it would hardly seem possible to propel any vessel. We are still about 30 percent.. below this standard, rair does there for all the practical purposes of business appear any immediate probability of deur advancing further. Our swiftest mail packets do not exceed 18 knots, or a trifle less, than 21 miles an hour through the water, and very few vessels indeed realise this speed. As a rule, our fast river packets do not exceed 14 knots, and this seems to be the standard of general usefulness, as whilst this can be secured without any sacrifice of economy; all above this rate entails great expense. The first and most essential requisite to secure speed' in the construction of a steam.vessel . is the form of the hull. Mere power—although the vessel is useless without it in some form—is quite secondary to the correctness of the vessel's lines. More steam-vessels are overpowered than un derpowered, and it has been frequently found that when engines of superior horse-power have been taken out of a vessel, and others of inferior size put into her, her speed has been most materially increased. And in connection with steam-boats another fact is evident, that it is not so much a question of the fineness of the lines fore and aft as it is of the shape of the vessel amidships, se that full and hollow water lines, wave-shape curves, and all the other knick-knackeries of shipbuilding, are considerations of quitella subordinate character. It is astonishing what a long time it took to beat this obvious truth' into the heads of our naval archi tects. Very many years ago experiments were made with bluff-headed vessels like barges, in opposition to others with fine entrances and deliveries, and the difference in speed was found to be quite unimportant. The result pro duced a large amount of surprise, but did not lead to a dis covery of the true theory of resistance. Again, when it was found that by what is termed length ening the floor of 'a vessel, or, in other words, cutting her in halves and adding to her length amidships, the speed of the vessel was greatly increased, oven when she was, of larger tonnage, and possessed only the same engine-power as formerly, the discovery again failed to convey a true perception of the correct theory upon which speed is based. That theory, it is unneemary perhaps to say, is now well understood, and lies entirely in the size of the midship section, the immersed area of which farms the only true point of resistance as the vessel passes through the water. For this reason largo vessels will always have the advan tage over those of a smaller size, since the width of a small vessel cannot be reduced consistently with the strength and stability of the ship. The question as to whether a steamer is 200 feet or 2,000 yards long is quite unimportant, since except in encountering currents very little more force would be necessary to propel the one than the other, provided their midship sections were uniform in area and displacement. The great drawback to realising high rates of speed is the enormous sacrifice of fuel which must be expended where thie result is to be attained. The resistance in high veloci ties increases immensely, and it is very questionable whe ther in ordinary cases the advantages secured compensate for the great additional outlay of money. To secure an ad-. ditional mile of speed by mere engine-power, provided all the other conditions remain the same, is somewhat alarming in a pecuniary point of view. To keep engines up to their maximum number of revolutions implies incessant work at the stoke-holes, and a full consumption of fuel, whereas the same vessel, with fires partially banked up, will attain more than two-thirds of her full speed with a consumption of less than one-half the amount of coals. A rough gauge of the power of an engne is furnished by the diameter of her funnel, and the larger the funnel the greater the draught and the larger the con sumption of fuel. There would be no difficulty whatever in building a steamboat to run at the rate of 25 miles an hour, but it would cost a little fortune to pay for her weekly sup ply of coals. Practically, and for all really economic pur poses, 14 or 15 knots an hour is all we can expect to realise —all beyond this must be purchased at a cost which is irre concilable with the ordinary demands of commerce, and the pecuniary nature of steamboat speculations. The most econsmical method of realising high rates of speed is by the adoption of high-pressure and non-conden t s - - ing engines. The very words "high-pressure" have i a g his in g sound upon the ear of steamboat passengeuriscu 00 ountry i and are associated with the calamities IV It Is easily seen how the rumours of an alleged attachment between 'the heir . to the Crown of Great Britain -and her Royal Highness the Prin cess Atlaptlria, the eldest, daughter of Prince Christian,"may find fresh AlimptiVrpi'a this meet ing. It is.the sad lot of princes that their private life is fob' often subordinated to political Combina ,tions, so as to be"deprived of that enhancement of !Mystery enjoyed in affirirsof *heart by those who :oee4ny a lese elevated rank in the .soeial scale. However, the privilege claimed by the public de mands in such matters is pot to be carried too fur, 'especially when it has no more solid bases than a -few on dill. Consequently we shall go no further than simply to say that the private life , of Prince Christian is signalised-by the same tone of attrac tive dignity that has rendered Qecen Victoria the object of the veneration and affection of the Eng lish people ; and that the personal qualities of the young Princess are sufficient of themselves to justify the union, without any necessity for having recourse thereon to political combinations. _ In Denmark an alliance between our future dy nasty and the Royal Uouse.of England would be everywhere welcomed by an expression . of universal joy. There is no idea whatever of indulging in illusions of the influence that such a combination would exercise on the policy of the two countries. Neither is it imagined that our country would find therefrom,- on the part of Great Britain, a more cordial political support than what it already en joys. But we see therein an, event full of reasons for congratulation; principally because our future dynasty would be thereby closely linked with the most Constitutional Sovereign in the universe, and because that relationship would offer a fresh guaran tee for the sympathy of the same dynasty towards the political liberty enjoyed by Denmark, and_ be neath which the Sovereign will always possess the means most efficacious for ensuring to himself the nation's love. 27./E DAMAGE TO THE GREAT EASTERN. - - - -77 A close examination of the great ship has resulted in the discovery that she has received more eTtiviza - injuries than was at, first known. The rudder-post, as has been already stated, is completely broker . At the part where it snapped the metal is IS inchcti in diameter. In order to repair this it will be neces sary to unship the rudder, which will be a work of no small difficulty, not only on account of its great weight, but owing to the manner in which it is held in position. The rudder and post weigh 20 tons ; the framework is of iron, but the centre is filled up with timber. The foot or spindle of the rudder works in a hole in the "heel piece" of the ship, and an enormous iroi. brace holds the post of the rudder to ship, and admits of its moving with the action of the tiller. This' iron band is formed of four-inch iron plates 21t. 6in. wide, and is bolted. through and through the ship by enormous iron bolts. This must, of course, be removed before the rudder can be unshipped for repairs. In addition, however, to the breaking of the rudder-post, it has been found that the stern-ink of the ship has given way. This is a mass of iron weighing upwards of six tons. It is an upright column immediately be hind the screw, one end resting on and securing the heel piece and the other attached to the stern of the ship. This is formed of plates of iron two or three inches thick, andwas secured to the heel piece by an enormous iron bolt. It was urged by many scientific men that the screw shaft ought to have had its bearing in this sternpost, and that, if such had been the case, the screw would not have' failed as it did in the voyage from America last year. Had the screw been provided with this bearing, and the accident happened as it has done to the sternpost, it is probable that the ma chinery would have been so far deranged that the screw would have been unable to work, and the great ship might not have been able to reach a port so quickly as it did after its paddles were ren dered useless. The effect of this fracture in the sternpost might have been much more disastrous than itwas, for the heel-piece, having nothing to secure it beyond the bolts or rivets which held it to the ship's bottom, might have been torn away by the pressure against the water, as the' stern of the ship rose, and in that case, would in all pro bability have taken with it a number of the iron plates of the hull, and thus caused a leak, which it would have been hopeless to attempt to stop. It is fortunate that this piece did not sink even a few inches; had it done so the spindle would have had no place to work on, and the rudder would have been held to the ship only by the iron clamp round the post. In such a state of things its movements would haveobeen most dangerous. A mass of iron of some twenty tons weight, supported only by a band in the centre, which had it remained attached to the ship, would have flapped about with im mense force, delivering giant blows on the ship, or smashing the blades of the screw, rendered it powerless. Had the violent action of the rudder continued for any length of time it would have torn away the iron plates and framing, for the iron band which held it to the hull was of such strength that it could only have been forcibly removed by bringing with it portions of the ship itself. The heel piece, which was dependent to so great an extent for its security upon the strength of the sternpost, weighs about 10 t ons . I t i s f our f eet i n width, and is constructed of very thick iron plates. The paddle wheels will require to be constructed. The cost of repairing the damage externally and in ternally will, it is estimated, be about £lO,OOO. The ship will be taken to Milford for the purpose of haying the 'necessary repairs.— Observer. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The herring fishery now being prosecuted off the eastern coast has not at pre sent made much progress. The quantities of fish delivered ' at Yarmouth have been small, and the quality has also not been first-rate. There has, however, been a good demand, and prices have consequently been well sustained. havave ing ranged from £ l5 to £2B per last. The l on g shore boats h not been more successful; their parcels have averaged 7s. Gd. per ICO. The catches made by the Lowestoft boats have also been light at present. Mn.
