hiWifEY 111AIRKET 2ND CITY S.EIVS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Dank of England return, completed to the 3d inst., shows some very unfavourable changes. The large remittances of gold to New Yell-, with the absence of Australian arrival, have caused a diminution of fully hallo. million in the stock of the precious metals. The reserve of notes has also been largely reduced, viz., to the extent of a million and a quarter. The preparations made for the engage- Zents due on the 4th of the month, and the forth coming Indian Loan, has caused a large addition to the other securities, which have been increased by nearly a million and a quarter. The public de posits, owing to official disbursements, have been diminished to a considerable extent, while a large increase has taken place in the private balances. The other items of the balance-sheet show little variation of importance.

The silver, by the last Mexican packet, was dis posed of yesterday, the bars at 600. and the dollars at 580. per oz., being Id. and Id. lower respec tively. There is still a good demand for discount accom modation, notwithstanding the completion of the engagements duo on the 4th. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday there *was again a good demand, and the sales exceeded 15,000 bales, 5,000 of which were for export and on speculation. Prices of all descriptions exhibited ta. further slight upward tendency. The operations in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets during the last few days have been on a very limited scale. Sugars have barely main tained former rates. Tea at public sale declined about ld per lb., while coffee, rice, fruit, and spices have remained at former quotations. Tallow has been dull, and quotations have slightly declined, I .Y.C. on the spot being 535; and for the last three months' delivery, 50s 6d per cwt. The shareholders in the Peel River Land and Mineral Land Company, at their meeting to-day, adopted the directors' report, and agreed to the Proposed dividend at the rate of 3-1 per cent., free of income tax. At the meeting of the London Dock Company, held to-day, the proposed dividend, at the rate of £2 10s. per cent. per annum, was deslared. A moderate amount of business has been negoti ated in the market for public securities to-day, and the quotations have been well maintained. Consols are 89a I for money to the 10th inst., and 90 to 90-1 for August. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities remain steady at 881 3 ; and the 33 Years' Annuities brought 153 ; the 5 per Cent. India Loan realised 981 d ; India Debentures 95.1 96; and the June Exchequer Bills were heavy at ss. dis. The operations in the Foreign Stock Market have been rather extensive, and prices have been fairly supported. Old Turkish 6 per Cents. realise 44 9 75; and the Loan of 1858, 601 601; Mexican Stock is steady at 22-1- ; Grenada Bonds declined to 15; Portuguese 3 per Cents. realised 46} ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 631 ; and the 4 per Cents., 1001. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been extremely inactive, without any change of importance in prices.

TILE CAREER OF PEEL.—When he entered Par liament at one-and-twenty, graced by extraordinary uni versity honours, and independent in fortune, he was on the winning side in every way. It was in 1809, when Perce val was minister, and Castlereagh and Canning were his colleagues, that Peel began his career; and when the mur der of Mr. Perceval caused a recomposition of the ministry, Peel had become well enough known as a man of business to be appointed to the Irish Secretaryship. O'Connell's party called him Orange-Peel; O'Connell himself pursued him with insult till they came to a challenge ; and if - there 'was an Englishman who could be pointed out as the repre aentative of an anti-Catholic policy, it was Peel. H e was honest in his opposition to the Catholic claims, but he was hot satisfied with the method of governing Ireland, and here perhaps a close observer might have found a basis for * Peculation as to whether Peel would prove to be a sta tionary politician, after all. He made the best speeches I gainst Catholic emancipation, session after session, but, t hen, he did not relish or approve of the sectarian quar rels in Ireland, and he had a notion that a sound popular sec ular education would be the best thing for the country. T he Smack of the pungent orange flavour was wanting in re Peel, his party observed : and when 1829 cam e, there vre Persons who said they had long ago thought what would happen. --Once ei Week.

SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr, Kerr.) REPEAL OF THE PAPER DTJTY AND THE BOOREINDERS.- CROUCH V. HARE. This was a judgment summons, defendant being a book binder. His Honour—Well, Mr. Hare, why have you not paid this claim P Defendant—l have had nothing to do. His Honour—l see you are a bookbinder. Defendant—Yes, but the duty being taken off paper has thrown us all out of work. His Honour—Surely you do not mean to say that . the repeal of the paper duty interferes with your work ? Defendant—l do. People won't make any more until the Ist of October. His Honour—And WQ are to have no more books. Plaintiff and defendant then began to open up the case, but his honour, who appeared rather struck with defen dant's excuse, said, "You can't go into the matter again ; but tell me, Mr. Hare, how is it the duty off paper makes all this difference ?" Defendant—Well, they wish to use up their old stock. You see it will make a difference of £l4 per ton to them, and so they won't make any more till the Ist October. His Honour granted defendant a longer time. In a second case a label printer said that times were very bad, and that dealers would not now keep any stock. Hid Honour observed that the repeal of the paper duty appeared to cause all the mischief, and granted defendant a little time. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—A BROTHER CHARGED BY HIS SISTER.—John Perry, a tall young man, w as charged before Mr.:Tyrwhitt with stealing a gold watch and chain * a diamond brooch, and other articles of jewellery of the value of aO, the property of Emily Perry, of 6, Boyle street, Saville-row.

On Saturday morning last, about half-past two, I missed from my bed-room and drawing-room tables a quantity of jewel lery, a gold watch and chain, and a purse with some gold in it—my loss being about £6O. I had seen them safe a short time before. The prisoner had called, I ascertained from the servant, to gee me a little before 12, but I had not then reached home. As soon as I missed the property I sus pected my brother, and went to Vine-street and gave infor mation to the police. Prisoner—You say the servant saw me before 12; you can't say I was there afterwards. I was seen this morning by a constable, and pointed out to him, and then he said he saw me leave the house at 5 o'clock. Prosecutrix—A. latch-key was missed from the kitchen dresser, but afterwards, when the robbery was discovered, the key was found. Sergeant Joy, 9 C—Yesterday morning, from information I received, I took the prisoner into custody at Luton, Bed fordfordshire, where he was detained by the police. I told him I was a police sergeant, and that he was charged with stealing a quantity of jewellery, at 6, Boyle-street, Saville row, At first he made ne reply, but afterwards said, " I know all about it. If I had not been confined here I should have been able to get the whole of the jewellery back for my sister." He also said he was detained there to find the female who had the whole of the property, and that the female lived at 2, Queen-street, Borough, but that she had gone away with the whole of the property. I have made inquiries, and ascertained that he has been living with the female in Queen-street, but that she had gone away. I wish for a remand, that I may have the servant here to show that the prisoner was in the house. Prisoner—Once before, because I am a litile racketty, they said I had tried to get into the house, while I had not been near it for two months. Remanded. MELANCHOLY BOAT ACCIDENT AT CHIPPENHAIII. On Tuesday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, an accident attended with fatal consequences occurred on the river Avon at Chippenham. Some time during that evening the Misses Awdry, accom panied by their brother, Mr. West Steward Awdry (second son of West Awdry, Esq., the respected under-sheriff of Wilts, and cousin of Sir John Aw dry), the Misses Lowther, of Derry Hill, near Chip - penham, and the younger members of Mr. W. Awdry's family, went out for an aquatic excursion near Monckton House, which stands by the side of the river. One of the boats was a large one, and contained four persons, and the other a smaller one, contained the Misses Lowther, and Mr. W. S. Awdry. The boats proceeded quietly along till they came to the piece of dead water above the Chippenham Grist Mill, when the large boat was turned round, and unfortunately came into collision with the smaller one, capsizing it, and throwing its ' occupants into the river. The elder Miss Lowther clung to 11Ir. Awdry, who made a desparate effort to carry her ashore. Although a good swimmer, so tightly did the young lady cling to him, that all his attempts to save her and himself were unavailing, and they both sank. The scene now became ter ribly painful. The heartrending cries of the young ladies in the larger boat attracted the attention of the son of the Rev. Mr. Clarke, who fortunately happened to be near, and he boldly plunged into the water, and rescued the younger Miss Lowther, bringing her to land just as she was on the point of sinking. By this time assistance was obtained, and hooks and grappling i rons procure d t o searc h for the bodies of the two persons who had dis appeared ; but they were not recovered till 11 o'clock the same evening, when of course life was extinct. Mr. West Awdry w as a b sent a t th e Wilts Quarter Sessions, at Warmi ns t er, an d on th e sa d intelligence being forwarded to him returned in time to see the bodies taken out of the stream. The deceased young geitleman was to have left home on Monday next, for the purpose of taking a commis sion in the army. It is a singular coincidence that the father of Miss Lowther was drowned in India some time since. /ler mother is absent in London. The deceased young lady and her sister were on a visit to Mr. W. Awdry, at Monckton House.—Bath Chronicle. THIS DAY'S ALIBEETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was very small ; nevertheless, the trade, generally, ruled slow, only fine samples being in request, at Monday's currency. All descriptions of foreign wheat changed hands to a limited extent. In prices, however, no quotable change took place. The show of samples was moderately ex tensive. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, and khe quotations were supported. Barley, however, met a dull sale at barely stationary prices. food and fine qualities of malt wore firm in price, but other kinds were a dull inquiry. Oats moved off heavily, at a decline of 6d per quarter for inferior qualities. Beans were a slow sale, and peas were in limited request, at barely previous quotations. Most kinds of flour were dealt in to a limited extent, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The SPEAIER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were fur ther considered :—Enniskillen and Bundoran Railway ; Midland Railway (Otley and Ilkley Extension) ; New Ross Port and Harbour ; North Eastern. Railway (Extension to Otley, &c.) ; Parsonstown and Portumna Bridge Railway ; and West Cheshire Railways. The following bills were read a third time and passed : The Glasgow (City) Life Assurance, &c,, Company, the Great North of Scotland Railway, and the South Essex Water. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1. Mr. LOCKE said the bill made an alteration which had not been demanded throughout the country. It involved the question whether the parishes in the metropolis, which were materially interested in the proposed change, should have their wishes attended to. He wished to have the area of rating in the metropolis extended, in order that the whole of them should form one union, and he proposed an amend ment by adding to the clause the words "and for that pur pose the area, subject to the provisions of the Metropolis Local Management Acts, shall be a union." This would constitute the metropolis a union in itself. Mr. WARNER thought a great injustice would result from the passing the first clause as it stood, but he did not think the amendment would meet the difficulty. He ap proved of the bill as far as it mitigated the law of settle ment; but if any member would move the total omission of the clause he should support him. Mr. KNIGHT did not think that Norwich had much reason to complain. The property-tax returns showed a great increase for that city, while the rural parishes were being enriched at its expense. He thought Norwich had one of the strongest cases against the extension of the area of rating. Mr. DODGSON thought parochial rating was too nar row, but they might run into the opposite extreme. He thought there might be a rating extending over Bunch a district as derived a community of in terest. Many of the labourers worked in one parish and resided in another, therefore, as he gave one the benefit of his labour, and the other the expenditure of his wages, when he became chargeable he thought both should bear the burthen. H e approved of the bill as it stood, and he hoped the amendment would be rejected. Sir G. LEWIS said if they were to go on discussing this bill on every point he should altogether despair of passing it in the present session. The measure was one of great importance, and its object was perfectly clear ; it had been thoroughly investigated in committee, and the bill was founded upon its report. The subject they were Row dis cussing was a totally distinct question from that embraced in the bill. They were now engaged, in fact, in discussing the subject of the equalisation of the rating of the metropolis. He thought it would be wasting the time of the house if they continued the present discussion. Mr. BENTINCK thought the bill was one to relieve th• urban at the expense of the rural population, and such being its object he considered it most objectionable. Sir G. LEWIS contended that the bill, so far from being what was described by the hon. member who hadjuet sat down, was one in favour of the landed interest and against the urban parishes, but the charge was just, and therefore the representatives of the towns did not object to it. Mr. HENLEY could not agree with the right hon. baronet the Secretary for the Home Department that the bill needed no further discussion. It was one in his opinion that inflicted great injury on rural parishes, and he should like to know how it would act. That it would act with great capriciousness he was quite certain—(hear, hear) --and he did not think they ought to be called upon to pro ceed with the bill until a statement had been laid before Parliament, of all the parishes, showing how the measure would work; but as they were going on at present, they were working entirely in the dark. He thought if the present measure were withdrawn for the session, Govern ment could obtain the necessary returns,• by which they would be enabled to deal with the subject much more efficiently next session. Mr. VILLIERS could not consent to the proposal of the hon. gentleman opposite. The bill had gone through a second reading, and he thought it was very desirable that it should as speedily as possible go through its other stages. He thought the proposal of the hon. member for South wark highly objectionable. Mr. BARROW thought the bill a very good one. Mr. AYRTON was of opinion that the amendment of his hon. and learned friend the member for Southwark was most urgently required in the bill. If the Government had not fully considered the subject, he thought it offered very good ground of withdrawing the bill altogether during the present session. Mr. S. EST COURT thought the object of the hon member for Southwark both impracticable and unjust. The amendment he had moved was merely a preliminary one, and as it was desirable that the other clauses should be con sidered, he hoped the honourable member would withdraw it from further consideration, and bring up a new and definite clause, embodying his proposition. when they arrived at the proper part of the bill. He thought the bill was grounded injustice, and therefore he gave it his earnsst support. Mr. WALTER hoped the hon. member would not press his amendment to a division. [LEFT SITTING.] THE ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. Yesterday the Americans in London celebrated. the 4th of July, the 85th anniversary of the De claration of Independence, by a breakfast at the Royal Opera Colonnade Hotel, Charles-street, Regent-street. About 100 Americans and several Englishmen sat down, under the presidency of the Rev. Dr. Patton, the popular Congregational minister of New York. Behind the chairman was a portrait of Washing ton, surrounded by the British and American flags, very ingeniously associated. Most of the Americans, and many of the Englishmen pre sent, wore a very elegant badge, bearing the arms of the United States, very beautifully interwoven on a ribbon of a superior quality, by Mr. Slingsby, of Coventry. This specimen of the productions of the looms of Coventry was greatly admired ; and by none more than by the Americans themselves, who admitted that, in all that relates to elegance and beauty of workmanship, it sur passedanything they had previously seen. The dejeuner having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the Presi dent of the United States, maybe be endowed with wisdom from on High, according to the perils of his day. There were, he said, four principles which lay at the basis of every regular Govern ment, and wherever they were allowed to have their way, they were certain to work out the liberty of the people; and if liberty did not prevail in a country, the one or other of those principles was wanting. The first of these prin- L ciples was reverence towards God, the foundation of all moral sentiment. This was symbolised by the Church or the meeting-houses. The second was universal intelligence, and its symbol was the school-house. The third was the dignity of labour. (Cheers.) Its symbol was the blacksmith's shop, from which the blacksmith from his anvil rung out a character for himself which would survive when the dandy was forgotten. And the fourtk was the majesty of the law, which used to be sym bolised by the whipping-post. Wherever these four principles were in action, they were as sure to cut their way to light and liberty as it was certain there was a God on the throne of heaven. (Cheers.) The reason why slavery existed in the South was that the dignity of labour was not respected there. The sentiment having been duly honoured, Mr. MORAN returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Queen of England. May the blessings of God rest on her and all that pertains to her." This was acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. DAVIS. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The day we celebrate the birthday of our nation. May all fu ture anniversaries be bright and cloudless.' The response to this was the reading of the De claration of Independence. Several other sentiments were duly honoured, and the company separated, well satisfied with the quiet and unostentatious display of their national feeling. BOROUGH HOP, Although the plantation accounts still speak unfavourably of the crop, the business doing in all kinds of hops is much restricted. The market, however, must be considered firm and prices are fully supporte d. Dut y , £ 65 , 0 00 to £70,000. Mid and East Kent pockets 90s to 210 s per cwt.

It is not without pain that we find ourselves called on to do justice to an injared individual at the expense of the whole human race. Mr. Vincent Scully is the complainant, and it is his single inte rest we are called on to regard against that of all the world. Mr. Scully possesses the happy though not very extraordinary power of speaking at any length, upon any subject, with an average amount of sense and in perfectly good Irish. It is a capa city we should be the last to depreciate. Within bounds, and upon proper occasions —as, for example, when a Maynooth bill is to- be shelved by an adjournment Mr. Scully i s a very useful man, and we should be sorry our selves to be described as he will probably find, himself in Mr. Spooner's posthumous memoirs. Excepting that the habit of talking with the eye on a clock face is not favourable to unity of subject or continuity of thought, Mr. Scully cannot be con sidered a bad speaker; but when he speaks, as he does, 15 times in two or thiee nights—when he has mastered the stages of a bill for the purpose of de livering himself at every possible opportunity, and when he speaks without interruption for boars, sometimes without ever entering upon his subject, we find it simply impossible to do him the justice he requires. There are only 24 hours in the day ; we can't bring out a third sheet every morning ; the public already complain of the quantity they are expected to read, and, in a word, we are obliged to treat Mr. Scully as we should treat the best friend we had in the world, and leave him in the hands of the reporters. These gen- tlemen have the happy knack by long practice of knowing what the public will care to read, and what they will certainly pass over. They know what is necessary to the point of the speaker, or the force of his argument. They are also as dispas sionate and as just as Minos and Rhadamanthus themselves, and condense or omit only in the inte rest of mankind. The result is that when Mr. Scully has seen with his own eyes the hour hand performing half the circuit of the clock-face, and has already pictured himself occupying a whole page of the paper, he wakes in the morning and finds himself reduced to a quarter of a column. When he has thrown off, as he imagines, a succes sion of brilliant impromptus, he finds himself only alluded to as the author of some observations. This is all the harder, inasmuch as Mr. Scully pos sesses ;the ear of the house and the eye of the Speaker. He has also the testimony of an unquali fied self-esteem, and yet he is scarcely heard beyond the walls of Parliament. His voice is like the wonderful echo in the vaults of a large building, which produces something like a salvo of artillery below, but is not heard even on the floor imme diately atove. In the House itself Mr. Vincent Scully seems everything, but the world no more hears him out of doors than the passers-by in Pall mall hear the animated conversations in the clubs. Mr. Scully very naturally, we are bound to say, resents to be thus defrauded of his due influence and force. He is compelled to speak with a muffled tongue, and to hold his light under a bushel. So he asks that, in the place of the present Parliamentary reports, which, being intended for general reading, are adapted to the taste and powers of the reading public, there may be an authorised and exact report, giving every word uttered, at whatever length and cost. If nobody else read it, at all events Mr. Scully would read it himself,—at least the report of his own speeches, and a good many other members would probably read theirs too. The proposal of a perfectly full report for the satisfaction of members and their constituents is a question rather for the Chancellor of the Ex chequer than for ourselves. Such a publication would not in any way interfere with the daily repoit of the Parliamentary proceedings which the public expect to find in a morning paper, and which they wish to get through, if possible, at a sitting. The reports are already quite long enough, and gentlemen with a good deal of time on their hands are wont to complain of the immense quantity of matter they are expected to master before they sit down to dinner. Mr. Scully coo -1 fesses to a good deal of surplusage, and even admits that the habit has grown upon him. The more he talks the more he has to say. He used to confine himself to sense, but latterly has diluted his argu ments with nonsense in order to fill up the time, and to arrest the attention of members who had become indifferent to the legitimate considerations proper to the subject. Mr. Scully is aware of becoming more and more tumid, wordy, and diffuse. As the Latin grammar says— Creseit indulgens sibi dirus hydrops ; and he expects us not to tap him and reduce him to moderate dimensions, but to foster his morbid growth. The appetite has grown upon Lim till he has become indifferent to the opinion of the world, just as many a man is proud of weighing twenty-five stone, or of having committed a mere than usual number of extravagant follies. His friends write to him from Ireland, to ask him why he makes such an ass of himself, and he reads the letter in the house, in face of a friendly protest. He would rather be thought an ass than not be thought of at all. Though it was evident last night that the house was of the same opinion as Mr. Scully's correspondent, he was delighted, even on these terms, to secure, by his frank admis- sion, the attention of the house, and to possess even so temporary a hold upon its interest. This is an ambition so rare on this side the Channel that we are not accustomed to further it ' • and, even when a gentleman is ready to sacrifice himself for the amusement of his country, we do not find it easy to assist with the requisite grace. There are few of our readers who will not be sur prised to hear that Mr. Scully has been inadequately reported. They will be rather disposed to suspect that this gentleman has some extraordinary interest at work to procure the frequent recurrence of his name and to keep him well up before the world. Indeed, there is hardly any name which, in pro portion to its actual weight, is so prominent and so familiar. It would puzzle most people to remem ber what Mr. Scully ever said, or was likely to say ; or what his arguments were upon such an occasion, what line he took, and how he contri- buted to the result ; but that he stood up and opened his mouth and was at no loss for words and ideas on any occasion whatever is one of the "com mon things" which everybody knows. This, of course, Mr. Scully owes to the much maligned press, while the absence of a definite impression he owes to himself. He pleads the example of Lord Palmerston for the use of Attic salt to season dry sense, and to amuse the House while instructing and guiding it. He has attempted to do the same, and he now complains that the papers do not report his Attic salt, and that they let his sp eeches go to the world bare and unadorned. The " Attie salt we leave in the hands of the reporters, who are not generally insensible to that condiment when they find it. But since Mr. Scully pro fesses to have taken Lord Palmerston for his model, and is annoyed to find he does not com mand the same space and notice, we must remind him that it is about as difficult to follow a good example as it is to set one. If, too, he follows Lord Palmerston as to his style, or wishes to do so, per haps he may not disdain to take that model for the substance of his speeches. Lord Palmerston does not talk by the hour, with his eye on the !Block face. Lord Palmerston does not make a dozen speeches in a night simply for the purpose of keep ing himself before the eyes of the world. Lord Palmerston does not say a word more than is ne cessary for his purpose. If Mr. Scully will only do the same he will soon find that he is adequately reported, and that he stands higher in the good opinion of his candid friends across the Channel.-- Times. WOOL FAlRS.—Three large and important wool fairs have just taken place in Berkshire. The first was on Monday, at Abingdon; the second at Didcot, on Tuesday ; and the third at East Ilsloy, yesterday. Since last year the trade has undergone such a change that staplers evince unusual caution in making purchases, and at each of these fairs the transactions were far from being brisk. The largest supply was at East Ilsley, it being the very centre of an extensive sheep feeding district. A fair number of sales were reported to have taken place, and the prices were generally as follow :—Good teg wool, 37s to 37s 6d ; ewe wool, 35s to 36s ; and mixed, one -third teg, 34s to 355. There was a large and respectable di attendance at tenner, in the rectory house at East Ilsl c y ; the usual loyal toasts were given, and the health of Mr. Benyon, M.P., w a brief Ra s well received. The hon. gentle man replied to the toast in but appropriate speech. The prices quoted above were ob tained t y flock-masters at Abingdon and Didcot fairs. WHAT LADIES' GLOVES AND JELLIES ARE MADE or.—How dashed with bitterness are all sublunary things ! Alas I the smaller kind of ladies' so-called kid-gloves aro made chiefly out of rat-skins. The smaller the hand the more ratty the inference ! Parchment trimmings contribute in no small degree to the stock of a London pastry. c oo k' s jelly-pot. It is said that an hiatus exists in the parchment documents of the Patent-office ; a boy on the establishment having surreptitiously taken documents away and sold them to the confectioners. Very good jelly (scientifically speak ing) can be manufactured ou t of p arc hment ; but any per son amenable to sentiment in the slightest degree io would spare his stomach some qualms by not inspecting tl manu facture of parchment. Absolutely and rationally there is no thing repulsive in the idea of manufacturing ivory dust into jelly; but how a fair creature —en g ic lged in soft dalli ance with a jelly—would pout and ma thrust the jelly from her, if told (which make thes wry f f a a c c e t s ) that and most of the ivory dust in question is purchased of the small-tooth comb maker*l-13(qchwood'3 THE NA I' Y. A letter, dated Valetta, June 29, says :—" Her Majesty's screw storeship Supply, Master ,Com mander Balliston, quitted port on the 22d inst., having on board old store?, &c., for England, and is expected back .in the Mediterranean shortly. The frigate Terrible, Capt. Glasse, C. 8., returned on the 25th from the Dardanelles, after transferring the Persian Ambassador and suite to the despatch boat Banshee, for conveyance to Trebizonde, en route to Teheran. The Terrible, on her way up, called in at the Pin-cus, to allow the Ambassador to visit Athens. The Terrible is discharging her spare gear and guns, for the purpose of taking in stores and provisions for the fleet under the command of Rear-Admiral Mundy, on the coast of Syria. The fol lowing are her Majesty's ships in port :—Liffey, 51 (bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral W. F. Martin, the Commander-in-Chief) ; Hibernia, receiving-ship (flag of Rear-Admiral H. J. Codrington, C. 8.) ; Neptune, 91; London, 90; Terrible,2l ; Greyhound, 17 ; Assurance, 4 ; Weser, 4 ; and the Hearty tug. The arrival of the screw steamer Rangoon from Plymouth and Gibraltar, with the electric cable on board which is to be laid from Alexandria towards Bengazi, has already been announced. Another section is expected out from England by the steamer Malacca, which left Malta a few weeks back, to be used to complete the line, should the cable conveyed by the Rangoon prove insufficient. On Friday a telegram was received from Ajaccio by Messrs. Glasse, Elliott, and Co.'s agents here, announcing the satisfactory laying down of an electric cable between that place and Toulon. The staff of elec tricians &c., arrivedlrom Ajaccio on Saturday in the French corvette Prony, and have proceeded in the Rangoon to Alexandria, to take part in laying the sable on board this vessel. Her Majesty's ships Medina, Scourge, and Mohawk are, I believe, now at Alexandria, to assist, if necessary, in this opera tion. The Prony left on Monday, on return to Toulon. Sir John Bowring and Lady Bowring arrived at this island on Wednesday last from Leg horn, by the French steamer. I regret to say that Sir John Bowring is in a very precarious state of health. M. Ferdinand de Lesseps passed through Malta by the last English Marseilles packet from Alexandria, on his return to France." Letters received from the South American coast state that her Majesty's ships Curacoa and Oberon arrived at Buenos Ayres on the 25th of May from Montevideo, and were there when the mail left. The Brazilian gunboat Yequitenhouha, with the Brazilian Commodore on board, arrived at Buenos Ayres from Montevideo on the 19th, and the French gunboat Fulminante, with the French Admiral on board, on the 24th. A strong north west gale was experienced at Buenos Ayres on the 22d, lasting 24 hours. The weather at that place was very unsettled and cold, and the thermometer was as low as 40 degrees. On the 29th of May the Brazilian gunboat Yporanga arrived at Montevideo from Rio de Janeiro, and on the 31st the Russian gunboat Morges, also from Rio, bound for China, The French gunboat Fulminante arrived at Monte video on the 31st from Buenos Ayres with a sup plementary mail for England. The following ships of war were lying at Montevideo on the 31st of May :—The Brazilian gunboats Uruguay -and Ypo ranga ; the French frigate Pandora, 50 guns, flag ship; the French gunboats Fulminante and D'En- trecasteau ; the American frigate Congress, 50 guns, flagship; the American despatch-boat Pulaski; the Spanish brig Gravina, 18 guns; the Spanish gun boat Concordia, and the Russian gunboat Morges. A four-gun paddlewheel steamer will be laid down on the first slip at Chatham dockyard, now occupied by the Rattlesnake, 22, screw corvette, which will be launched on Tuesday next. A 91-gun line-of- battle screw steamer, as well as two 51-gun screw frigates, is also ordered to be laid down at that dockyard as soon as the slips now engaged become vacant. The workmen employed on the Roya Oak, building under No. 7 shed, which was origin nally laid down for a 91-gun steamship, have com menced the necessary alterations of the timbers and. framing of that vessel to adapt her for an armour plated 51-gun frigate. In order to give her in creased strength to bear the additional weight of the iron armour-plates with which her sides will be protected about 20 feet have been added, which will make her little short of 3CO feet. The Menai, one of the class of 22-gun screw frigates, recently laid down, is about three-fourths in frame, and as soon as she has been completely framed the work- men will be taken off her in order to allow her timbers to season. The Arethusa, which has been several months in the hands of the dockyard work men at Chatham, undergoing the alterations to adapt her for a screw steamer, is expected to be completed and ready to be put out of dock by the end of the ensuing month. Orders have been received at Portsmouth to take the Griper, target hulk, fitted with Jones's angu iated target, round to Shoeburyness, where the tar get will be tested with the Armstrong 120-pounder , liunt gun. New plates are now in course of manu facture to replace those on the target which were experimented upon last August, The extraordinary success of the plates fixed on this target in resist ing the solid 68-pounder cast-iron shot on the occa sion above referred to has never yet been approached by plates placed in any other position throughout the whole series of trials. Considering the vast improvements which have been made within the past few months in the quality of armour plates as com pared with those produced at the time the angulated target was last experimented upon, it will be perhaps not too much to expect that it may prow) as imper vious to the projectile from the Armstrong as it proved to the Stork's 68- po under last Au g ust. On that occasion the plates were of iron and steel, and of different qualities and thickness of metal. The steel plates turned out to be, of course, more brittle than the iron ones, especially one which wrs manu factured in the Mersey. This plate was pouniod by shot after shot, and although, as a matter of course, the metal was cracked and broken, and nearly knocked out of shape, it was never pierced, and any person might have sat with perfect safety behind it during the whole of the practice. The engines supplied to the Black Prince by Messrs. Penn are found to work very well. At a trial of the large engines a speed of 120 revolutions per minute was attained with a pressure of 71b., the vacuum being 26,1 inches to 27 in&aes. As the pro peller was not attached only four of the 10 boilers were lighted. The nominal power. Of the engines is 1,250 horses, but their indicated power will be little short of 6,000 horses. The vessel as regards her ma chinery, is almost ready for sea, but he r other fit tings will not be completed till Au g ust is pretty well advanced.
