LONDON, TUESDAY, OCT. 15, 1861. Some of the Americans are already becoming dis satisfied with their PRESIDENT. It is not that they have got a King Log when they expected a King Stork, but that he is a King Log in regard to the South, and a King Stork on his own side the Potomac. He is immovable, and afraid to act against slavery in Missouri or anywhere else, but he is active, where all lies in his power, in arresting men and women, in haling them to prison without warrants, and keeping them untried as long as he likes. After seven months his only success has been to govern Maryland by martial law. One of the leaders of his party now says that " LINCOLN is the greatest failure in history !" It is, however, but just to apportion blame equally. And we think it must be confessed that those who blame LIN COLN are the cause of his failure. They will let him do anything but the one thing more efficient than all besides. The great body of his supporters are only less hostile to negro emancipation than the Southerners themselves. The fairest view of the case, therefore, is—that " LINCOLN and his Republican supporters are the greatest failure in history." Earl RUSSELL, so far as he expressed his opinion at Newcastle, yesterday, took very much the view which has long seemed to us the only possible one. "We now see," he said, " two parties contending together, not upon the question of slavery, though that I believe is the original cause of the conflict— not contending with respect to free trade and pro tection, but contending as so many States of the Old World hare contended, the one Bide for empire, and the other for power. Far be it from us to set ourselves up as judges in this matter, but I cannot help asking myself, as affairs progress in the contest, to what good end can it lead." Mr. LINCOLN and his party have debased the contest to this vulgar and useless one, when a nobler one was both open to them, and far more sure to be successful. LINCOLN has aimed to be a President of slave States as well as free States —aimed to govern through a fugitive slave law —and is by no means unlikely to lose the Pre sidency of the 'Southern States, because he refused to initiate an Emancipation policy. The PRESIDENT'S weakness and the ignoble temper of his party on the subject of slavery and coloured men, has placed them in the most hopless dilemma possible. Earl RUSSELL de scribed it to a certain extent correctly when he said last night—" Supposing this contest ended by the reunion of its different parts, that the South should agree to enter again with all the rights of the constitution, should we not again have that fatal subject of slavery brought in along with them. That subject of slavery which caused, no doubt, the disruption, we all agree, must sooner or later cease from the face of the earth. Well, then, gentlemen, es you will see, if this quarrel could be made up, should we not have those who dif fered with Mr. LINCOLN at the last election carried, and thus the quarrel would recommence, and perhaps a long civil war follow. On the other hand, supposing the United States completely to conquer and subdue the Southern States—sup posing that should be the result of a long military conflict, supposing that that should be the result of some years of civil war, should we not have the material prosperity of that country in a great de gree destroyed ?—should we see that respect for liberty which has so long distinguished our North American brethren, and should we not see those Northern men yielding to a force, and would not the North be necessitated to keep in subjection those who had been conquered ; and would not that very materially interfere with the free dom of nations ?" LINCOLN and the Republicans acknowledge that slavery is at the bottom of the present struggle, and yet refuse to attack the re bellion in its cause and root. They can neve there fore, escape from the conclusion that if they suc ceed in their present course, they will ;succeed in re - establishing a Union which must at some future time be plunged again into a civil war ; and that, so long as the Union is maintained by their present policy, it can be so only by an enormous and costly army which count prove utterly fatal to Republican liberty. Indeed., their government of the South will be a thorough despotism. If, however, LINCOLN could enforce and purchase emancipation at a far less cost than that of this fearful war, he could make the Southern States but too glad, for their own safety, to com bine with the North. It is too early yet to conjecture the military result, but as yet nothing has occurred to NvEtrrant the hope of anything like speedy success on the part of the North. If the doubtful telegram respecting Fort Monroe be correct in its fullest sense, the case would be bad indeed, Western Missouri is already is there withdrawn from the war, gone, a small army and altogether it is said that £2,000,000 'will not I replace the loss in stores, guns, ammunition, &c., a t Lexington. But, it is hard to say what could replace the loss of Fort Monroe, commanding as it does the entrance to the Bay of Chesapeake—while the rebels have also batteries on the Potomac, which are a serious obstruction to its navigation. The defeat in Missouri turns out to be a more serious military disaster than even that at Bull's Run, and it seems highly doubtful whether FREMONT is in a position to retrieve the misfortune. At the best he must lay aside his grand project of moving down the Mississippi. What the object of the retreat of the Confederates from Munson's-hill was, remains as much a mystery as ever. Whether it was to allure the Northerns from their line of strong defences, and induce them again to attack the well-entrenched Southern army, or to make an attack themselves under more favourable circumstances, it is impossible to say. We had always been told that the hill was fortified ; we are now informed that the defences were of the slightest possible character, in greet part logs of wood, and . what looked through a telescope like guns were nothing but logs with the ends painted like muzzles. The condition of the encampments was very wretched—indeed it is quite evident that the whole affair was intended for show, not for any determined resistance. Perhaps, therefore, having served its purpose long enough, the post was merely abandoned, as intended from the beginning, when the probable time for a Northern movement arrived. Some other things do not look very pleasant for the North. Mr. RUSSELL tells us that he met with many individuals, even in the loyal Northwest, who resent increased taxation, and talk of refusing to pay it, while trade necessarily suffers ; as, in deed, the returns of exports and imports abun dantly show. A few jobbers in army and navy contracts, of course, make fortunes, but the majority find their occupation, if not gone, seriously dimi nished. At present the loans make all pleasant, but the Secretary of State himself acknowledges that they are spending at the rate £90,000,000 a year—and spending it on the destruction, not the creation, of permanent sources of revenue. It re mains to be seen how long a people, whose taxa tion has hitherto been so light—who have, indeed, been chiefly burdened by the cost of their own selfish folly of a protection to native industry—will bear the heavy burden of protected manufactures and war taxes together. The people of Illinois must soon understand that they have as much in terest in getting rid of the disgraceful MORRILL Tariff as the South has. Hence, we should not be surprised at heartburnings, on the subject of taxa tion, between the North-western corn-growing States, and those Eastern States which tax them so heavily by their bad and dear manufactures. Altogether the prospect is anything but cheering. A Southern army, apparently poorly equipped, yet not only holds its ground against the North, but has obtained two very:important successes over it. The Northern army, better provided for, is not yet in a condition to move. The South is fighting for the worst of causes, while the North refuses to avail itself of the best of causes and the best of weapons. All is moral depravity, meanness, or littleness—having nothing of those nobler moral grounds which interest all Englishmen so deeply in the struggles of Italy, Hungary, and Poland. The contest is too great, and between those too nearly allied to us, to permit us to re main indifferent, but the best we can discover in the whole affair is bad. A struggle for objects disgraceful on one aide and not honourable on the other ; and little prospect of any result on which a lover of his race can look with satisfaction; Again—who is for Canada? It was only the other evening that we had occasion to glance at some of the many remarkable attractions held out to emigrants by this great colony. To-day we would revert to those attractions; for the theme is fruitful, almost inexhaustible, in its suggestive ness. In this resembling in truth the soil of the Canadian territory itself, or rather a vast portion of it. Of course a possession so very considerable in its dimensions as the country of the Two Canad as necessarily comprises within it almost every variety of climate. Between the Great American Lakes to the south, that is Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan, and Superior, and the shores of James' Bay to the north—between the western bounda ries of the Hudson's Bay territory upon one hand, the borders of Labrador on the other, any amount of cold or heat, of fecundity or of sterility, may be found with the greatest ease. There is an extra ordinary difference of climate of course, and of almost every kind of geographical peculiarity, one might say, discernible upon a comparison of Western or Upper Canada, and Eastern or Lower Canada. There is a sort of a delusion prevalent about the severity of the winter season, especially in the latter division of this great colony, namely, in Lower Canada. The fact being in reality that whensoever the Canadian winter is most rigorous, the next year's crops are most abundant, and, vise versa, whensoever the Canadian winter is milder than usual, the crops of the following season are more or less unsatisfactory. DOUGLAS JERROLD said wittily of the soil in many parts of Australia that you had only to tickle it witA a hoc and it laughed into harvest. Some humorous traveller, moreover, once upon a time facetiously illustrated, by the record of a single incident which he had witnessed on • the western coast of Africa, the tropical heat prevailing there, the primitive habits of the savage but luxurious inhabitants, and the magnitude of the scale of vege tation in that particular part of the globe—namely, whore the wandering and wondering Englishman described his having one day seen an Epicurean Negro (clad, if we may so express it, in the costutfte of ADAM) cutting in twain an enormous gourd, and, while he cooled himself by sitting in one half of it, scooping out the other half for his breakfast ! Some thing of the same kind, so far at least is affects the gourds and the harvests, may be said for the soil and climate of Canada—something of the same kind that was said about those of Australia by JERROLD, and about those of Africa by the anonymous tra veller. If not throughout the Canadian territory, at any rate in very many parts of it, the pumpkins and squashes are known to attain dimensions of really extraordinary magnitude. In the vicinity of Toronto a single pumpkin often weighs more than 3001bs. ! Melons and tomatas again ripen completely there in the open air, obtaining an enormous size without the necessity for any forcing frames—without any need whatever for those noisome processes so wonderfully, almost we had said so deliciously, described by COWPER, where, in that favoured nook of his garden, he sass-- " The stable yields a stercoraceous heap, Impregnated with quick fermenting salts, And potent to resist the freezing blast : There lightly shaking in with agile hand From the full fork, the saturated straw. Till the warmth (Well overlaid with clear translucent glass) slow gathering in tho midst, through the square mass Diffused, attain the surface : when, behold I A pestilent and most corrosive steam Like a gross fog, Boeotian, rising fast, And fast condensed upon the dewy sash Asks egress;" &c. , Nothing of all this is requisite, there, in Canada, THE SIIN, LONDO X, TUESDAY Ili VENING, OCTOBER 15, 1861. however, where the sun-warmed soil itself is equi valent to our most skilfully-contrived forcing frames, and where, without manuring or care of any kind, the melons, pumpkins, and gourds of all descrip tions, flourish in spontaneous abundance. Writing to a correspondent in one of the penal colonies, CHARLES LAMB once drily put to his friend the query----" Do you grow your own hemp ?" Canada could certainly answer a like inquiry with literal truth in the affirmative. Acknowledging the same also in regard to flax. For flax and hemp, there, are alike indigenous. There, too, are obtained by the agriculturist, among the ordinary crops, very fair returns, indeed, of Indian corn, of hops, and of tobacco. Reverting to the fruit crops of Canada, the product of the garden or of the orchard, it is sig nificant, assuredly, as indicative of the geniality of the climate and of the fruitfulness of the soil, that in many parts of that colony —as, for example, by the Niagara frontier or along the shores of Lake Erie—the grape and the peach grow luxu riantly, mellowing to perfection in the autumnal air, without any artificial assistance at all. As for the apples of the island of Montreal, they are known to vie with the rarest produce culled from the apple orchards of Kent or Devonshire. While, as to the plums grown upon the island of Orleans —who does not know the fame won for them selves by the Orleans Plums ? Canada, in many parts of it, in fact, is little less than a fruit garden, in which the gardener has little else to do than to prune and gather in the crops. Now, as to the cereal produce of the Canadian soil. Let the following facts speak for them selves : " The average yield of wheat in some townships," says a recent number of the Canadian News, " exceeds 22 bushels to the acre, and where an approach to good farming prevails the yield rises to 30 and even 40 bushels to the acre. On new land 50 bushels is not very uncommon ; and it must not be forgotten that Canadian wheat, grown near the city of Toronto, won a first prize at the Paris Exhibition." "It may truly be said," adds our colonial contemporary, " that the soil of what may be termed the agricul tural portion of Canada, which comprises four fifths of the inhabited portion, and a vast area still in the hands of the Government and now open to settlement, is unexceptionable, and when deterioration takes place it is the fault of the far mer and not of the soil. In Canada the yield of wheat in 1860 considerably exceeded 40,000,000 bushels, and the quality of Canadian wheat is so superior that the American millers buy it for the purpose of mixing with grain grown in the United States, in order to improve the quality of their flour, and, in some instances, to render it fit for ex portation." Aware of all this, it is no matter of sur prise to us that the course of emigration sweeps on so steadily, and powerfully, and increasingly in the direction of Canada. Neither is it in any way re markable that the value of land there has risen, and in point of fact is still rising so wonderfully ! " With reference to the value of land," says the colonial authority last • quoted, "Australia ex cepted, no country can furnish such singular in stances of the rises in value of survey lands as the last seven years nave witnessed in Canada. The cause, too, is so obvious, now that it is understood that men wonder why the event had not been foreseen years before its occurrence. The rea son is fully conveyed in the assertion that the coun try was not prepared for it. Eighteen hundred and fifty-two saw Canada 'without a railway ; eighteen hundred and sixty-one sees her with 1,876 miles completed, and many more in process of construc tion. The rise in the value of land is thus easily explained. Means of communication•of the highest order have opened up the country, made available a vast amount of inert wealth, stimulated industry, and effected a complete revolution in farming eco nomy within 20 miles on either side of the course they pursue." Let but Canada continue thus mar vellously to advance, and let British Columbia con tinue also to develope its own wonderful resources, and the day-dream in which our imagination has so often luxuriated must, in the natural course of events, be realised ! And that day-dream ? Who does not recognise it, upon our merely mentioning thus together the suggestive names of Canada and British Columbia ? It is the bringing into rapid communication with each other of the shores of the Atlantic and the shores of the Pacific by continuous lines of railway and by the extension of the electric telegraph. VISIT OF THE KING OF HOLLAND TO FRANCE.— *is worthy of notice that the Moniteur, in announcing the arrival at Compiegne of the sovereign commonly known as the King of Holland, styles him the King of the " Low which was st r i continues e t l g o i n b in e h i n i s diplomaticlti s t ivtla• said alt hough u n tCountries , " e s h " e addressedthat t g h insists e insgo of m uch Holland"u pon thisar notpo thati o n fo t ype nr.leas sat l i: t ta reher the Hague.

We read in the Opinion Nationale :—" The ceremony of the re ception was the same as that observed for the King of Prussia, only that there was a little less etiquette and more familiarity." The Presse says, on th e o th er h and :—" Con trary to what was the case with the King of Prussia, the reception of the King of Holland is altogether official." This much appears certain—that the sovereigns met in full uni form, instead of in plain clothes." According to the Patrie the first words of the King on meeting the Emperor were, " It must be said that I am punctual, for I am here five minutes before the time." But the chronicler of the .Presse says that his Majesty's e xcl amation was, " Oh, s i re, I h ave kept you waiting;" to which remark the Emperor gra ciously replied, " Not at all your Majesty. I believe it is scarcely the time." It is to be hoped that history will settle these important differences. The following is the programme of the entertainments provided for the King : To-day a visit to Pierrefonds. On Monday a court stag hunt, at which the Imperial Prince 'will appear on a pony, and will be dressed like his father, in a hunting suit of the time of Louis XV. On Tuesday the Emperor will accom pany the King to Paris, and the two sovereigns will dine at the Tuileries. On Wednesday there is to be a shooting party at Versailles, and a breakfast in the forest. The King will afterwards stay two days in Paris. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE NEW LIFE BOAT.—Yes terday some interesting experiments were made in the Re gent's Canal Dock, Limehouse, with a new lifeboat which had been built, under the superintendence of the National Lifeboat Institution, for the government of the Cape of Good Hope, through Messrs. Barnard and Julyan, the agents general for Crown colonies, by the Messrs. Forrestt. The boat is 33 feet long and 8 feet 2 inches wide, and rows ten oars. There were present at the trial the secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution, Mr. Prowse, its building sur veyor, Messrs. Forrestt, and a large concourse of persons. The lifeboat was capsized by means of some tackling con necting her with a hydraulic crane. She instantly self lighted, and self-ejected the water thus shipped, through patent valves, in 25 seconds, which appeared to be quite a marvel to the bystanders: It required 33 men to bring the gunwale of the boat to the water's edge; thus showing how difficult it would be for the heaviest seas to capsize hey. Again, when the boat's valves wero opened and the beat half filled with water it required 23 men to bring her gun wale awash, showing still further her great stability. A transporting carriage, built by Mr. J. Robinson, of Camden Town, accompanies the boat, which leaves to day for the Cape of Good Hope, whence they will be sent to the port of East London, at the mouth of the Buffalo River, British Kaffraria. Messrs. Forrestt had previously built two or three self-righting lifeboats on the same principle for the Cape Colony. It was said at the trial that some of the life boats of the National Lifeboat Institution had within the last 21 months been the means of rescuing from different shipwrecks on the coasts of the United Kingdom 410 per • sons—a most gratifying fact, and showing how much has been accomplished by the well -directed efforts. of the institu • lion in this important and philanthropic cause.

It is hoped that the affair of the Neapolitan archives will be satisfactorily arranged without foreign intervention. The Infanta Donna Maria de la Concepcion is better. WARSAW, OCT. 13. Fresh manifestations are announced to take place on the 15th of October, in memory of the battle of Macziewice, in which the Poles, led by Kosciusko, fought against the Russians. The party which has organised the meeting at Haradla for the 15th of October is making every effert to ensure the success of the manifestation in tended to be made on that occasion. WARSAW, OCT. 14. A proclamation published to-day declares the kingdom of Poland to be in a state of siege. The military have pitched their tents in the pub lic squares and places of Warsaw. The wearing of mourning, or of mourning in signia, is prohibited. KONIGSBERG, OCT. 13. The King and Queen of Prussia arrived at the gates of Konigsberg at twelve o'clock to-day, and were received by the Royal Princes, the generals, the presidents, and the civic authorities. The procession through the town took place according to the published programme. The King was on horseback, surrounded by the Princes of the Royal house. The Queen rode in a state carriage drawn by eight horses. Their Majesties were cheered by the crowds on their way through the street. Their passage through the Brandenburg gate was announced by a discharge of cannon and the ringing of bells. The procession proceeded through the lines formed by the corporations, guilds, and companies, the people continually cheering, and the crowd being everywhere very great. All the houses were richly decorated, and were filled with spectators to their roofs. At the Castle their• Majesties were received by the Princesses of the Royal House, and the body of the officers and clergy. The weather has bien very fine. The number of strangers who have arrived in the city is enormous. KONIGSB:ERG, MONDAY EVENING. The King received the civil and military autho rities at the Royal Ca s tle at 3.15 p.m. to-day, after his solemn entry into the city. His Majesty expremed to them his thanks, and said that he was full of confidence in the future development of all interests under the free action of all classes of the people. DRESDEN, MONDAY. The official _Dresden:. Journal of to-day publishes a letter from Turin, asserting that General Miero slawski had been sum tnoned to Genoa to organise an expedition destinei.l. for Montenegro, and also to excite insurrection in the Sclavonian provinces of Turkey. According to the sat cal letter this expedition would afterwards revolutioni :se the Anstro-Danubian pro vinces, and would pro teed as far as Galicia. It is likewise assert ?ed that the Governments of Servia, Montenegro, e Lnd the Danubian Principali ties, concur with Ge.:neral Mieroslawski on this project. CANTON, AUG. 28. The state of affairs an Japan has not improved. There is, however, no alarming event to note, although alarms are .of daily occurrence. The British Consulate at Xanagawa has been turned into a stockade, and is :guarded by armed Yacunins. The wounds inflicted on Mr. Oliphant in the late murderous attack on 't he British legation are not dangerous. He will, however, return to England. Matters in China ar a stationary. FR AN CE. PARIS, MONDAY. A terrible storm has caused great devastation in the department of Gar el. The Lalle mine was flooded by water, in conse quence of which the sides fell in, burying 117 workmen, who, it is fea red, are either suffocated or drowned. The Ifessager of Montpellier, of to-day, says : " The working parties *mployed at the Lalle mine, in order to rescue the workmen who are buried within it, are pursuing their labours with great activity, under the superintendence of the Prefect, and it is hoped that they will be able to communi cate with the unfortuna to men in the course of this evening. Cries and the sound of blows from a pickaxe are heard proceeding from the interior of the mine." Several excavations have been made. A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels has the following on. the interview between the Emperor of the French and the King of Prussia:— " The Emperor dwelt at some length on the affairs of Italy, and on the fact that all the efforts of his Government have hroa for object the maintenance of peace and of the European equilibrium. His Majesty is also state d to have attempted to prove to his guest that a solution of the Italian question, in a national spirit, has become in the present state of things, an indispensable condition for obtaining a durable and solid peace. The Em peror is also said tip have expressed the opinion that a recognition of' the new Kingdom by Prussia would simplify diffi , aulties, and would contribute to the removal of , dangers which may menace Europe in case the uncertainty in which Italy is placed should be prolonged. The King of Prussia, it is stated, whilst rendering justice to the opinionsl expressed by his Imperial host, declined to do what was recommended, for the reason that the policy of the Cabinet of Berlin is opposed to the re cognition of a State which does not yet exist. It appears that the august personages specially spoke of Venice, and his Prussian Majesty is represented to have expressed the conviction that Austria will never consent to a voluntary cession of Venetia even if such a sacrifice should be counselled by all Europe. The Danish question was also discussed, and the Emperor, whilst declaring that he feels a strong desire to see it settled by amicable ar rangement, complimented, the King on the manner in which he has hitherto conducted the affair; the policy of Prussia, his Majesty IS represented to have remarked, has conciliated the interests of general peace with the duties which her dignity imposes and wit:hi the just susceptibilities of the German nation. As to the treaty of comrn merce, the Emperor is stated to have shown that it; will promote friendly rely tions between Germany and France, and will incr ease the commercial pros.- parity of the two countries . His :Majesty afterwardE expressed the hope that 'the Berlin Cabinet will , after a new examination, accord the reductions it the duties on silks and c vines which the Frencl negotiators demand. It :is said that his Prussian Majesty did not think lig. ht to give a promise on; the subject, and stated that the reductions proposed. encounter great opposition. in the Zollverein on the: part of the trades inter elited. Of Germany, pro perly speaking, not a we) :d was said; the conveisa tion which the Emperc tr had with the King of Prussia in the interview at Baden, having demon strated the uselessness of treating a question which King William has declared is not within his juris diction."

The Briton, new screw steamer, destined for the Cape mail service, and now lying in the river off Deptford, is the first specimen of a novel system of shipbuilding which promises to inaugurate a new era in the science. We gave some account of her on the occasion of her launch in July last, but as she was at that time but little more than the hull, or outside shell of a ship, the description was necessarily imperfect. She is now complete, ready for sea, and will, in a few days, start t 4 make a trial trip from Southampton, and to have her speed tested by the measured mile at Stokes Bay. In the meanwhile her builder, Mr. Charles Lungley, invites those who take an interest in such subjects to inspect her, and, to a large extent, the invitation has been accepted and acted on by merchant shipowners and officers connected with the navy and the merchant service. Mr. Lungley claims for his invention—which it is hardly necessary to say is patented—two great advantages, viz., safety from destruction by water, and to a great extent security against fire. The means by which these all important objects are achieved are at once simple and effectual. Each deck of the vessel is distinct from the others, having no communication with them, but having its sepa rate hatchway or entrance from the upper deck; ' and the result of this arrangement is, that what ever injury may be incurred to either one or even to two of these decks or stories, the other or others will float. Thus, for instance, should the lower or keel deck be knocked away the two upper decks will float the ship; or should, either from a colli sion, the starting of a plate under the water line, or from a shot or a broadside penetrating the sheathing, one of the intermediate decks let in the water even to the extent of filling the com partment from stem to stern, the buoyant power would still remain, and the vessel would not only float, but be perfectly manageable, the water merely rising up the trunk hatchway of that particular deck to the level of the water-line outside, allowing full opportunity for a diver to descend, find out the place and extent of the injury, and repair it if cap• able of repair, after which the water might be pumped out and the ship freed. The same sub division of decks which affords the security against entire submersion ensures protection against total destruction by fire. In the event of a fire being discovered on either deck the hatchway of that deck would be fastened down, and the supply of air being thus cut off the fire would die out of itself, or if the fire bad got too much hold upon the ship to allow of this, then the entire deck in which the conflagration was raging might be filled with water without risk of other inconve nience than that of having to pump it out again. Another great advantage of this mode of shipbuild ing is the perfect ventilation it ensures to all parts of the vessel. At present the general practice is to have one main hatchway, which communicates from the upper deck to all the several floors of the ship, and. which forms the ventilating shaft from each. It is easy to imagine in cases when fever breaks out on board how much the danger is likely to be increased by such an arrangement, or when large numbers of troops or emigrants are berthed below how mneh the risk of disease is increased by such imperfect ventilation. By Mr. Lungley's plan each deck has its own ventilating shaft or shafts—for there may be one, two, or more—in the hatchways, which are its means of communication from above. These separate shafts likewise afford facilities for loading and unloading, which will be appreciated in merchant ships. The practice of dividing iron ships into water-tight compartments with the view of preventing their sinking has been followed for many years, but the division walls have in all cases been transverse ; that is, each deck has been divided 1:-Iy watertight iron bulk heads into three, four, or more separate rooms or apartments—the impression being that should one or two become by leakage filled. with water, there would be buoyancy enough in the others to keep the ship afloat. Experience has unfortunately, however—and the case of the Connaught is a prominent instance among many— proved the unsoundness of this theory. The fact is, that when any one of the compartments becomes filled with water, or ships water in any considerable quantity, the vessel is unduly depressed in that particular part, and no longer sails with an even keel. To remedy this it would be necessary to let in a corresponding weight of water in the oppo site compartments, which in all probability, even if practicable, would bring the ship down so low in the water that with anything like a sea on she would sink, or the wash from side to side would lay her over upon her broadside; whereas if she were left with her keel out of the level, she would, as the water gained upon her, go down head or stern foremost, as the case might be. By making the decks themselves the watertight divisions, the weight of water in case of leakage is equalised over the whole surface of the ship, and the even keel, which is the main element of safety, is preserved, while all danger is localised, and thus proportion ately reduced. One thing which strikes the atten tion of the visitor on board the Briton is the perfect isolation of the engine-room. Not only is it pro , tected by the watertight deck division, but longitu dinal bulkheads or iron walls running fore and aft some feet within the outer shell or sides of the vessel protect it from the chance of injury from wAhout. Thus a fracture in the outside plates occa sioned by collision, stranding, or shot, although it naight admit the water into the ship, would not at:rect the engines or the fires. The immense im poet ance of this arrangement of longitudinal inside walls' for the protection of the machinery, especially in ships of war, where it may be carried throughout the vessel, for adding to the stability of the entire structure, seems beyond question. It is difficult to conceive .a nearer approach to the idea of invulner able ships, and it is hardly to be supposed that Mr. Lungley's principle will not speedily . find its way into the royal navy in combination with the present system of building—the more especially as the prin ciple is adaptable at a comparatively light expense to existing ships, whether built of wood or of iron. THE VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF WALES TO THE DITKE or NEWCASTLE.—Great preparations are being made at Clumber-park, the seat of the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, for the reception of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who is expected to arrive on Wednesday next. The inhabitants of both Retford and Worksop are preparing to give his royal high ness a most cordial reception. The prince, as already announced, will reach the East Itetford Station of the Great Northern Railway by the 5.55 p.m. train, which arrives at York from Edinburgh about 4 o'clock, at Doncaster at 5.20 p.m. The rifle corps of " the ancient borough," and a corn • pany from Worksop, will be in attendance at the railway station, as also the Clumber troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, witio will form the guard of honour. Mr. Alderman Fisher, the Mayor, and the corporation of Retford will assemble at they station to meet the royal cortege. The nobility and several of the leading families resident in the district are invited to meet his royal highness, who will receive from the inhabitants of North Notts as hearty a welcome as the most loyal could desire. The extensive alteration s and improvements that are now all but completed at Clumber have been carried out, agreeably to the Duke of Newcastle's wishes, by his steward and agent, Mr. Henry H on i ng. STIPENDS OF THE SCOTCH EPISCOPAL CLERGY Major Scott, of Gala, an earnoit Scotch Episcopalian, who is endeavouring to raise an endowment fund for the sup port of the Scotch Episcopal clergy, gives as samples of the miserable stipends doled out to the clergy of that Church, the following :—At Fort William, a clergyman, with seven children, is allowed by a rich congregation to starve upon £45 a-year. There is the case of Cumines-town, where another clergyman vegetates upon £lB. Then there has come lately to my knowledge the case of another clergy man at Peebles, where there is a wealthy congregation,who pay their clergyman £7O per year.—Edinburgh Witness.

As the exact and official returns of the Census are being made public, we behold more clearly the precise march and direction of the population which has been filling up, during the last ten years, the unoccupied territory of the Union. Its grand and main course is westward, with some currents to the north-west and some to the south-west. The flood of population over some of our new States in the far West has probably never been equalled in the history of emigration, both in the character of the emigrants and in the number placed upon new soil, where before were the animals of the prairie and the forest and the roving Indian. Minnesota, for instance, increases from 6,077 inhabitants in 1850 to 162,022 in 1860, or at a rate of increase of over 2,500 per cent. ; Oregon, from 13,294 to 52,464, or at the rate of 294 per cent. ; lowa, from 192,214 to 674,948, or at 251.22 per cent. ; Texas, from 212,592 to 602,432, or 183.37 per cent.; Wisconsin, from 305,391 to 775,873, or 154.06 per cent. Ar kansas increases 107 per cent., and Illinois over 100 per cent. The average rate of the growth of population in all the States the last decade is 35.02 per cent. There are 19 States below this average, the lowest in order being Vermont, 0'32 per cent. ; then New Hampshire, 2.55 per cent. ; and next South Carolina, 5.28 ; Maine following with 7.73, and Tennessee with 11.68, and once powerful Virginia with only 12 . 27, while North Carolina shows only 14.23. There are 11 States counting 19,528,555 inhabitants, or an average of more than one million and a half each—namely, Illinois, In diana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, Ten nessee, Missouri, Virginia, Kentucky, and Georgia. In territories the greatest advance is, of course, in Utah, or 254'07 per cent. In New Mexico it reaches 51.98. The black current must always be the important one to the statistician of this continent. The Census reveals a steady stream of negroes from the seaboard towards the south-west. Virginia retains her old pre--eminence as the breeder of slaves for market, in which noble occupation she is apparently closely followed by South Carolina, while the States whither this disgusting traffic tends are Arkansas, Mississippi, and especially Texas. The average increase of the slaves is moderately large, or 23.42 per cent. There is a loss in but two States, Delaware (of 21 . 48 per cent.) and Maryland (3.52). The increase in Virginia is only 3.88 per cent., and in South Carolina s'2B—this small advance evi dently resulting from exportation. Kentucky, too, shows an increase of but 4.87 per cent, the last decade, which gives a most gratifying prospect of the destiny of the system in Kentucky, as it is believed no very important numbers have been exported during the last ten years from that State. North Carolina only exhibits an advance of 1474, and Tennessee of 15'17 per cent. Missouri presents a larger increase than was expected—namely, 31.51. The great in crease is in Texas, where it reaches over 210 per cent. (210.66) ; in Arkansas it is 135'89, and in Florida, 57.09 ; in Mississippi, 40.93. In two States only are the slaves more numerous than the whites—in South Carolina, where they number 402,541, against 291,623 of the white inhabi tants, and in the Mississippi, being 436,696 to 353,960 whites. Their largest number in any one State is in Virginia (490,887), and the next in Georgia (462,232). In the ter ritories there are 10 slaves enumerated in Nebraska, 24 i n New Mexico, and 29 in Utah. The district of Columbia shows a loss of slaves of 13.72 per cent. Among the free coloured population the increase is very small through the Union—only 10.68 per cent. Their largest numbers are to bo found, as usual, in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsyl vania. Little valuable in a statistical point of view is to be extracted from the tables of this population, as the diminu tion from banishment or emigration cannot be distinguished from that arising from natural and regular causes. The theory sustained recently by an able statistician in Washington (Mr. Weston), that the free negro inevitably diminishes on this continent, is not yet sufficiently con firmed by facts to be admitted as a satisfactory scientific hypothesis. The race undoubtedly dies out in climatesnot adapted to it —as, for instance in the Northern States ; but whether it decays in freedom in the middle or southern latitudes does not yet fully appear. In many of the Southern and Western States there are laws expelling the free negroes, and their decrease observed in those States during the last decade may be due to these extraneous causes. Their largest increase in a Slave State is in Georgia (18.01 per cent.) ; in Alabama, 16.11; in Maryland, 1204; the greatest decrease in Arkansas, 77'47. Greatest increase in a Free State, in Minnesota, 487.18 per cent. ;in New York they lose 2.18 per cent. It will pro bably be many decades before we shall show such a rapid growth of numbers as in the last, The next census will no doubt reveal new currents and new directions in our popu lation. Instead of streams from east to west, we may then have many from north to south, and new results to chronicle in regard to the movements or decrease of the black popula tion.—New York Times. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde have arrived in Paris from their American excursion. The report that the Hanover-square Rooms are about to be pulled down has, we believe, no foundation in fact. The rooms are simply to be renovated and used for the same purpose to which they have been so long applied. In addition to the names which we published last week of the noblemen and gentlemen composing the suite of the Earl of Clarendon at the coronation of the King of Prussia, we have now to add that of the Earl of Dudley, who will be present in the same official capacity. A Neapolitan paper informs us that two theolo gians attached to the Faculty of Naples, namely, the Pro fessor of Ecclesiastical Law and the Professor of Ecclesias tical History, have returned affirmative answers to the famous questions propounded by the Minister of Public Instruction respecting the temporal power of the Pope. These authorities declare that such power is neither neces sary nor useful to the Catholic Church. FATAL SWIPWRECK.—DUNGARVAN, OCt. 10.— About half-past three o'clock this afternoon a smack, from Waterford, coming in apparently for Dungarvar. Harbour, was struck by two heavy seas, about two miles distant, near Helviek Head. She instantly went down with all hands. The Dungarvan lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu tion immediately put off to their help, but all was over before her arrival, for there was not a trace then of the poor men to be seen. With reference to recant statements and rumours as to the further increase of the military force now in New Zealand, we believe we may state that no such augmenta tion is likely to be made. We understand that the Duke of Newcastle looks forward with hope to the effect likely to be created among the natives by the arrival of Sir George Grey, whose personal popularity, coupled with the fact that he comes unfettered by any previous complications, and in the light of an arbitrator, as it were, will hardly fail to bring to an end this most disagreeable conflict —Army and Navy 9azette. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—At St. lye's the boats on the mackerel drift fishery have been taking from 1,000 down to 100 per night, which found a ready sale at 26s per hundred of six score. The coasting vessels from Wales report having passed a great quantity of pilchards. Those lately taken by the seines and shored have been sold at £3 12s per hogshead. The small drift boats in the past week have brought ashore from 3,000 down to 800 pilchards per boat per day. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—During the week ending October 12 the visitors have been as follows :—On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free days, 6,287 ; on Monday and Tuesday, free evenings, 4,906 ; on the three students' days (admission to the public 6d), 1,363 ; one stu dent's evening, Wednesday, 192; total, 12,748. From the opening of the Museum, 2,297,212. DEATH OF SIR J. H. WILLIAMS.—We regret to announce the death of Sir James Hamlyn Williams, Bart., for some years M.P. for Carmarthenshire, which took place at his residence, Clovelly Court, Bideford, on the 10th inst. The deceased4baronet, who was born in 1790, married, in 1823, Lady Mary, daughter of the first Earl of Fortescae, and was therefore brother-in-law of the late and uncle of the present earl. The first baronet was James Hammett, Esq., who assumed the name of Hamlyn, and the second baronet took the additional surname of Williams. The de ceased was the third baronet. He is succeeded in the title and estates by his brother, Rear-Admiral Charles Hamlyn, who was married in 1833 to the youngest daughter of Sir Nelsonlltycroft, Bart. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have fixed Friday next as special settling day in the bonds and scrip of the new Italian loan. No bonds are to be bought in without an order from the Committee. About £B,OOO in Russian gold coin was purchased by the Bank yesterday. The Lincolnshire has arrived from Melbourne with £207,000 in gold, which was delivered in London yes terday. The destination of this supply is as yet uncertain. The Atrato, from the West Indies, has brought £185,500, of which £149,000 is silver and £36,500 gold. The statement that M. Fould is likely again to become Finance Minister in France, and to inaugurate his return to that post by contracting a new loan, was assigned as one reason for the further fall in Consols yesterday, but as the debt of France has been increased at the rate of about £ 12 ,000,000 sterling during every year of the reign of the Emperor Napoleon, every one must have been aware that the time was drawing near for a new operation of the kind, and in any case it is difficult to understand why it should, under existing circumstances, affect the English funds. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.—No less than 79 summonses have been issued against Alderman Sir Henry Muggeridge, in respect of expenses incurred during the late contest. The hearing has been fixed for Monday, Nov. 4, at the Sheriffe Court, Guildhall •buildings. It is but justice to add that Mr. G. It. Longden, chairman of Sir Henry's committee, has publicly requested that all parties having any claim will send in their accounts, in order that they may be examined, and, if correct, immediately discharged. CAPTURE OF AN AMERICAN EAGLE.—As the Montreal Ocean Steam Ship Company's screw steamer Anglo-Saxon, which arrived here on Tuesday, was pro ceeding down the St. Lawrence, an eagle flew off the land an d perched upon one of the upper spars of the vessel. Here it soon fell asleep, and ono of the sailors going aloft to the point at which the bird was seated, made capture of it. It turned out to be a young one and in fine condition, and " Jack" brought his prize with him in triumph to Liverpool.—Liverpool Albion. The remittances of specie to New York by Wednesday's packet will probably reach 40,000.
