R. CL,Y, 11f.P., AT II ULL. On Thureday evening a grand banquet took place at the •Royal Station Hotel, Hull, on the occasion of the prizes being presented to the volunteers wire had successfully competed at the rifle contests dur ing the season. About 220 volunteers sat down, Lieut.-Colonel Pease Occupyin g the chair. The chairman was supported: by Mr. JAMES CLAY, M.P., who proposed the " Health of the Hull Rifle Volunteers." Some people, he said, had been in the habit of talking about what they called an invasion panic —a term which had always appeared to him to be singularly misapplied —for panic, used in that sense, he understood t 3 be "fear without reasonable ground." Now, he had never seen any fear. He had never seen any pale faces in this country— (laughter and cheers)—but he had seen very reason. able ground why, in the matter of &fence, we should seriously set our house in order, and be pre pared for any contingency. When he spoke of this feeling, which did exist, but which now existed no longer, let him not be understood to speak in any thing like hostility to the Emperor of the French, • who, in his opinion had ever entertained a kindly feeling towards this country. He had been our brother in arms ;he had shown a disposition to draw 1 more closely the ties of friendship and commercial enterprise, by making a commercial Otreaty. The Emperor, however, was surrounded by an immense army. He was sometimes their slave, and at any moment an accidental misunderstanding—some chance difference acting on the passions of the two nations—both justly proud of their position among nations, might lead to a feeling so strong that even the will of the Emperor might not.be sufficient to control it. It Nva3 for this reason Mr. Clay considered England had neither been too fast nor too zealous in putting the country into that state of effectual defence which, in a great measure, was cwing to the volunteers. There was one impor tant fact about this enormous addition to our de fensive force. It was comparatively inexpensive to the nation at large—(hear, hear)--it was upheld by the voluntary principle throughout. He was sorry to see in London—though, happily, not in Hull or elsewhere—persons had been found to endeavour to discountenance this great movement, and public no tice had been given by some employers of labour, that those employed by them must choose between what they believed to be their duty to their country and the business in which they were engaged. (Cries of Shame.) To men such as these he could only speak on the lowest possible grounds. He could only use to them the meanest arguments, lxcauss they were addressed to the meanest understandings. (Hear, hear.) These men must know that it was something to establish a force of 170,000 volunteers —and he said to them, "If you succeed in rendering the volunteer movement abortive, there will have to be an increase of the standing army—(cheers)-- which could not be less than 2d. more income tax to pay." (Laughter.) He told v such men as these thal they were blind self-seekers and bad citizens—(loud cheers)—and it was a great pleasure there were none such in Hull, and he did not think there ever would ?HE BEV. tr.

He did not know how they could more effectually or more economically carry out any scheme than the one he was happy to see now going so smoothly along. It was unlike the Old scheme by a system of bounties, and, he was sorry to say, of -drunkenness and debauChery. Soldiers required training through along 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.) lie meant no disparagement to their friends over the water. The last men he saw working guns were Frenchmen, but the men of the Reserve went about their \yolk in such a different style that he believed- the old saying, that " Oue British tar is as good as three Frenchmen," was, after all, true. It struck him that day that if ever the necessity should arise—though his prayer was that the two nations might long continue on friendly terms—he would back one of the lads he saw below against any three Frenchmen in the working and handling of a gun. (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 people. We had been so from generation to generation, and would continue so, for our strength had ever been on the water, and our strength must ever be on it. Let each man, then, go and get his shipmates to join. They now numbered nearly 800 in this port ; he should like to see them number 2,000. They now took the lead in the ports of the world with their ships, and in the ports of Great Britain none stood so high as that which he had the honour to represent in Parliament. 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 there was no fear of a foreign fee. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, THE VISIT OF THE KING OF P.RussrA. . out appealing to our national pride, which, consi dering our position in Europe, NA ould expose itself to ; figure in history as useless vanity, we may be allowed to object to a frontier line which has syste ' matically opened out to an enemy the valleys of Lorraine and the. plains of Champagne, and which has broken our frontier line, in order to take from us towns which we have fortified, like Landau, and others which' we have built, like Sarrelopis. 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. tho exigencies of our defence without irritating the national pride of Ger many ; it would calm both our inveterate passion for the Rhine and the recent apprehensions of the German populations. This new frontier line would become definitive, b ecause it wou ld b e ma d e b y agreement, and h ence f ort h wou ld d i sappear that dream of the Rhino so sweet to some mi n d s on thi s 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, become mordintimate,wouldallow us to pursue in Europe the work of justice and re paration to which we have been called by a great sovereign. Far from being a subject of. alarm to other peoples, we should be that instrument of peace and arbitration which the political genius of Henry IV. foresaw ; and we 'are ambitious of no more brilliant conquest." But the great 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 was begun in Italy. ASERIOUS COLLISIoIy iN THE CHANNEL. The Belfast Newsletter, of Saturday, has the fol lowing : " Yesterday morning, about five o'clock, a very serious collision took place in the Irish Channel between the screw-steamer Semaphore, Captain Campbell, belonging to the B e lf ast Steam Ship _ _ 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 sostoin, Everton, Liverpool. His opinions, he says, since he 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 influen ces o f th a t opposition and that sympathy it has not always been easy to separate m y se lf f rom suc h exc i tement as might lead to my rashly resigning the ministry on the one hand, or to my i mproper l y reta i n i ng that ministry on the other hand. Now, however, for some` - Months past, I ha ve en j oye d an almost un broken quietness. My mind has been abl e t o re fl ec t, 1111 otkir prOsferdus - m bur birareh' - arneszide s— _All 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 been mighty, though far from being the sole, inducements to remain and minister among you. In alliance with these motives there has been the dread of changing one's prof ess i o n, the risk of los ing valued f r i e nd s hip s , an d th e f ear o f d o i ng 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 lily 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. j 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 with me. 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. i It might net be necessary to allude to the points n 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 o ther points, I can no longer express °'unfeigned assent and consent," if these words and the Church formularies aro to bear any natural and gramma tical signi&i'tion. Under these circumstances, what am I to do P I know no other communion which is as tolerant the Church of England, or whose ministers are as j e.see as hers. Hence I itsdo other that or not see my way to enter any other . my duty ministry. One thing only its man is . to es a conscientious Christian En :T i shman and its re signdig- my ministry, and its emolumene.c nity. This I must do if I am to rettn.ti my self respect. What is to follow I know not. God's Provide.7ce will lead me if I yield myself to His guidance. .1 go to seek a livelihood in any calling of simple industry that may open to me. Other men will preaclkin mypulpit. 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 happily, 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. In reply to their assurance that the Roman Catholic re ligion would always be protected in Siam, His Holiness expressed his satisfaction at the reported progress of the Catholic missions. The Envoys were the bearers of some ma piant prenutP tQ I3is tioliagoe, THE SPEED OF STEAMBOATS. (From the Steam aiming 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 and their machinery as in England. The enginemakers of France, 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 go 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 we should do one of Colonel Croc- ket's stories of the number of bears he 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 spepd induced by running down a rapid current, we believe that high velocities are sometimes obtained on American t ve a-Illit %.ITaiiil RlP.llllAnntAtte,TAVVilial m att-paexce „,. 4 , Yankees can produce, even though the .safety valve should be loaded to the 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 Cunard liners, and 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 whieh rate of speed it would hardly seem possible to propel any vessel. We are still about 30 per cent. below this standard, nor does there for all the practical purposes of business appear any immediate probability of our advancing further. Our swiftest mail packets do not exceed 1S 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, so that full and hollow water lines, wave-shape curves, and all the other knick-knackeries of shipbuilding, are considerations of quitela 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, even 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 unneces:ary perhaps to say, is now well understood, and lies entirely in the size of the midship section, the immersed area of which forms the only true point of resistance as the vessel passes through the water. For this reason large 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 who • 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 wo 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-condens ing engines. The very words " high-pressure" have a grat ing sound upon the ear of steamboat passengers in this W WII) and are ao§iniMed with the egame,ltlea which occ ur The visit of the King of Prussia to Compiegne is the subject of a long article in the Constitutionnel, which commences by observing that the time has gone by when Europe encompassed France with a kind of moral quarantine,and when foreign princes only ventured to enter the country for a few hours and in the strictest incognito, on the condition of not interchanging a salutation:with any one. 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 principles, 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. And, at the present moment Franco sees nothing else in the approaching visits of the King of Prussia an d th e Ki ng of liallarid.',lo. .atietty eesee iii eter many, the writer observes, and a certain disquietude is 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 cheek 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, if 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 eelf-government. The French writer then inquires whether Austria, when strengthened in her situation, would have kept her promises. Prussia was unwilling to run the risk of a trial, and her journals remarked with undisguised bitterness that Vienna was accustomed to piece 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 fests at present less firmness, observes the writer-- who is no other than Ti!. Gtandguillot—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, as is known, the most active negotiations have been 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 e rem,. _ _ 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 princes 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 Constitu 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 and certain recollections of their history. Prussia, whose mission it was to make to triumph in Germany the ideas of progress and liberty of which France is the standardbearer, was placed on the frontier as the advanced sentinel of the Holy 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 thre a t ene d h erse lf b y 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 th e f o ll ow i ng mysterious passage : ebut frontiers, Prance powerfuland Fr a ncealo ' n ' e, h in terests of security and independence did not make a peril of what, without this fatal legacy of the past, would . be only the inspiration of a generous 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 r e sume I sent you a few days ago is t o l era b ly cor rect; there is, however, one passage to which I must draw your attention. ANT proving that the incorporation of so large a group of Uern3ans 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 40 the dipleezitiste of 1815 h4ye trued it. With- Company, and the brig Nereid, of Whitehaven, and resulted in the loss of the latter vessel, and the serious injury of the steamer. The Semaphore was on her way from Liverpool for Belfast, and the Nereid was bound from Whitehaven to Cardiff with a cargo of iron ore. The morning was dark, and there was a thick fog, and the vessels were about five miles off the Calf of Man when the collision took place. Of course the most contradictory statements are made as to the cause of the collision. Those in charge of the Semaphore 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 ceived 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 the 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 WASOM e SkaW il a l lictnil i d l r 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 tug 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 waa 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.

The intended meeting of the cab-proprietors of Dublin was held on Friday evening in their rooms, Fishamble-street. The place was crowded to excess with cab owners and drivers, who manifested the deepest interest in the proceedings. The chairman, Mr. JOHN KELLY, of the 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 assembled 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 exaggerated—it blacked the deeper the more it was considered ; and as citizens, fathers, husbands, andbrothers, they were bound to be alive in the matter, and not to cease their exertions until the miscreant was placed in the hands of justice. (Cheers.) The resolutions which would be pro posed, though couched in strong language , but very feebly expressed the indignation they felt for the conduct of this Sepoy, whoever 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 during 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.'

THE P RINCE OP TVAL P. S" 111.41?R1-4GE. - The Copenhagen Daghladet: of Ma I§t treats the intention of any visitto'Franee on the p - ar t o f the. , Danish Sevcreign as altogether a myth. It says " It was with great surprise we read here the news, • brought to us by the semi-oflicial journals of Paris of the 21st ult., of an expected visit to borapiegn e from King Frederick VII., the date being th e 6 th: . of October ; which happens to be the anniversary of: his Alsjesty's birth. We were 'entirely ignorant: here that any such scheme had been projected or talked about. We also- looked on •it as scarcely probable that King Frederick would consent to an interview, especially in a foreign country, with the German Sovereign who is the leader and principal mover in all the assaults aimed, on the part of Ger many, at the independence and glory of his Crown." In the same . , number of our semi-official Danish Contemporary is an article in reference to a match which has befOre been spoken Of as contemplated for the Prince of Wales.. Giving every credit to the Dagbladet for its guarded tone, it is yet evident from the following that at Copenhagen the mat is looked on as settled. The heir presumptive to the Crown, his Royal Highness Prince Christian of Denmark, is at this moment on a tour in Germany with his family. At Ostend, at.the Castleof Rumpenheim in the Duchy of Hesse, and lastly at Heidelberg, the family of the heir to the Throne is found in company with his Royal HighnesS the Prince of Wales. 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 Alexandria, the eldest daughter of Prince Christian, may find fresh aliment from this meet ing. It is the sad lot of princes that their private life is too often subordinated to political combina- tions, so as to be deprived of that enhancement of mystery enjoyed in affairsof the heart by those who occupy a less elevated rank in the social scale. However, the privilege claimed by the public de mands in such matters is not to be carried too far, especially when it has no more solid bases than a few on dits. 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 Queen 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 recoum thereon to political combinations. In Denmark an alliance between our future dy nasty and the Royal House 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 fur 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 they nation's love. TEE DAMAGE TO THE GREAT _EASTERN. +----- A close examination of the great ship has resulted: in the discovery that she has received more external injuries than was at first known. The rudder-post, as has been already stated, is completely broken. At the part where it snapped the metal is 18 inches cdivjpeeter. In order to repair this it will be nsg!ces no weight, but owing to the manner in which it is held in position. The rudder and post weigh 21) 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 au enormous irou brace holds the post of the rudder to ship, and admits of its moving with the action of the tiller. This iron baud is formed. of four-inch iron plates 2ft. Gin. 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-post cf 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 s t ern o f the ship. This is formed of plates of iron two or three inches thick, and was 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 it was, 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 movements Amass of iron I b n ee s would I p d o li st a . ve of some twenty tons weight, supported only by a n uc m h os a t s d ta a t n e g o e f ro thi us n . gs A its ma 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.

It is four feet in 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 win, it is estimated, be about £lO,OOO. The ship will be taken to Milfor6l for the purpose of having the necessary repairs. —Observer. THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The herring fishery now being prosecuted off the eastern coast bas 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 sugtained, having ranged from £l5 to £2B per last. The longahore boats have not been more successful ; their parcels have averaged 7s. Gd. per 100. The catches made by have also been light at present. Wakley took MR.
