L.AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.-AN ilLa EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant, is ad mitted to be the best medicine for immediately relieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and incipient con sumption. It frequently cures persons whom the faculty pronounce incurable, admirably allays the tickling which provokes frequent coughing. In approaching consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffocation, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it. Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8, King-William-street, Charing cross, London, and by all druggists, in bottles. 134 d., and three quantities in one, 2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asthmatic Balsam, The name and address is engraved on the stamp. it was specially convened—namely, " To consider the pro priety of inserting an arbitration clause in the specification for the works for the embankment of the northern shore of the river Thames between Waterloo-bridge and the eastern end of the Inner Temple." Mr. MILLER called attention to the power given to the engineer by a clause in the specification for the Ist section of the Thames embankment of determining all questions arising between the contractor and the board, and contended that so great a power should not he placed in his hands. Under that clause the engineer might excuse the contractor from doing work of the value of £60,000 or £70,000, and he therefore submitted that the clause should be altered. He contended that an arbitration clause should be inserted in the specification, and referred to the practice of the War Department, and to the specification for the execution of the Royal Exchange works, in support of his recommendation. He waved - that in the opinion of the Board an arbitration clause should be inserted in the specification for works exe cuted for the Board, and that the matter be referred to the Thames Embankment Committee to consider the nature of the clause to be inserted. Mr. SAMUDA seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN hoped the Board would not agree to the introduction of a general arbitration clause, or they would never get through their works, and every obstruction would be attended with an enormous expense. He would suppose, for instance, that a contractor sent in 50,000 bricks, and that the engineer having special charge of the works did not consider them of a proper quality. The contractor might say that they were. A dispute would then arise. In that case would the Board say that was to be a question for arbitration? There would be thousands of such disputes, and unless the engineer had some control over the contractors, he could not see his way to the com pletion of the works. He cautioned the Board, therefore, against the introduction of any general arbitration clause. If there was to be a special clause like that introduced in the contract for the Royal ,Exchange, he thought there would be no objection to it, and if the Board should refer the subject to a committee they ought to meet as soon as possible, so that no time might be lost in informing persons upon what grounds they might send in their tenders. Mr. D'lffanger opposed any reference to a committee, as no difficulty whatever had been experienced, and he was not inclined to alter a system that had worked so well. He did not know, indeed, why it should be inserted at all, unless it was to please certain persons who wished to have it all their own way. The Board had constructed the northern and southern main drainage works, besides the outfall works, and they had never heard any complaint whatever, and they had been carried on without any arbi tration clause whatever. If they were to introduce this arbitration clause it would cast doubt on their own engineer, who had worked so well up to the present time; and as to the specifications, there could be no difficulty in getting plenty of contractors to come forward. Mr. SAMUDA. supported the motion, contending that in all large contracts there was an arbitration clause, and that if there was not a clause of this description contractors would take some other way of helping themselves. Contractors were in the habit of putting down from £20,000 to £30,000 to cover any loss to which they might be subject, and the consequence was that the Board had to pay many thou sands of pounds more than they ought for the work that was done. Mr. NEWTON urged that if the insertion of this arbitra- tion clause would save a contractor £30,000, it would be the same as putting that amount into his pocket, and any one,;obtaining a contract under it would obtain an undue advantage, Mr. FREEMAN did not believe there could be any influ ence on contractors, as described by Mr. Samuda, in large sums being added to the tenders to guard them against loss, inasmuch as the estimates of their own engineer, Mr. Bazalgette, had always been greater than the amount of the tenders for their very large works. Mr. Carpmael, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Dormer spoke against, and Mr. Saunders, Mr. Roche, Mr. Savage, and Mr. Nicholay in favour of the clause. The Chairman then put the motion, and there appeared— For the motion.. lO Against Majority against the motion —9 The motion was accordingly negatived, and the Board adjourned. The Late Thames Embankment Scandal, DECISION OF THE ME TROPOLI LAN BOARD. Yesterday the Metropolitan Board of Works, after sitting in committee three days upon the subject of the disclosures and a scandal which have taken place in reference to the recent contract for the Thames embankment, and the en gagement of Mr Bazalgette, the chief engineer, with the successful contractor, Mr George Furness, in reference to certain works being carried out by the latter at Odessa, gave their decision on these matters. Mr Thwaites, the chairman of the board, presided, and the committee was a committee of the whole board. After a minute investigation, in the course of which it was proved that although the contract of Mr G. Furness at £520,000 was so much higher than those of Mr Kidley, Messrs Baker and Co., and Mr Moxon, and was accepted, it was by no means through the influence of the chief engineer that that tender was accepted. On the contrary, the fact was established that throughout the engineer was in favour of the Messrs Baker having the contract. This was consi dered a great point in the engineer's favour, as showing there was no collusion between him and the contractor whose contract had been accepted, although the fact could not be disputed of Mr Bazalgette having committed a breach of his engagement with the Metropolitan Board in carry ing out other works without their sanction or knowledge. At the conclusion of this very painful investigation a reso lution was proposed, to the effect that the committee re gretted to find that the engineer in chief of the Metropoli tan Board had entered into monetary arrangements with one of the contractors, but at the same time expressing their conviction that there had been no collusion between Mr Bazalgette and the contractor for the Thames Embankment works. This, in the opinion of the board, was rather too mild, and an amendment was proposed by the members for St. Pancras, Messrs S. Taylor and F. Healey, stating that the committee, having considered the matter, report to the board that they found that, although the terms of the chief engineer's agreement with the board were that his whole time and attention should be devoted to their service, he had, in the committee's opinion, unadvisedly entered into certain arrangements with one of the contractors, whereby he was to receive certain large sums of money in the shape of commission, which the committee condemn, but from the evidence distinctly showing it was his wish that the con tract should be given to Messrs. Baker, felt that no collusion existed between Mr. Bazalgette and Mr. Furness with respect to that contract.

The variety of iron-clad frigates which we are pro mised will hereafter form a curious chapter for the historian of our navy. They must apparently differ not less in speed than in size, not less in outward form than iu the thickness of their armour-plating. Though all have the same object in view, nearly every one is built on a different plan. According to Mr. Reed's theory, the size of the class of War riors at present afloat is a radical and dangerous error, and the Admiralty reply to this by building still larger ones, but leave themselves a loophole of escape by at the same time constructing one on Mr. Reed's size and plan, which is utterly opposed to their own. The experience of La Gloire and the wooden armour-plated ships of the French navy is considered by scientific men both here and there to be conclusive against that method of construction. So we are building them rather extensively, though the trip of the Prince Consort points ominously to the result we may expect. Capt. Cowper Coles says virtually that all but cupola ships are wrong, and that his will knock Mr. Reed's "into a cocked hat." So cupola ships are being built also. Now it is being said that the ironclads built by Mr. Laird in the Mersey—vessels of only 1,800 tons, but carrying 4in. armour plates —are the real things, after all, and that their form and build are the models which the Admiralty ought to adopt if they hope to prosper. Here, therefore, we have clearly six systems, with scarcely any single point of resemblance between the competitors, beyond that each agrees to decry the other as a costly and almost worthless sham. Of these six systems three have never 'been tried, and it says nothing for or against them to add that the partisans of each predict the utter failure of the other. Of the three that remain the War rior class has been tried and found nearly per fect ; the wooden-coated ships have been partially tried, and the resulthas been much the same as has been experienc e d i n th e F r ench vessels, and only the new Warri ors rema i n t o be experimented upon at sea. Thre e o f th ese new Warriors are now build ing and nearly built,—one, the Northumberland, at the Millwall Iron Works, one, the Minotaur, at the Thames Iron Works, and one, the Agincourt, at Mr. Laird's yard on the Mersey. Of these three the Minotaur will be launched very shortly, but both the other ships are well advanced, and the principles on which they are constructed may be better seen in them than in the beautifully smooth hull of the Minotaur, where all is nearly finished. The plan on which the first Warriors were built may be roughly described as that of a square iron box, armour-plated at the sides and each end, and having as it were a stem and stern not plated fitted on to this. These vessels have, to say the least, fully realised all that was expected of them. Their armour has been proved to be practically invulner able to any artillery which we possess, their speed is higher than that of any other vessels, their buoy ancy is great, their motion in a seaway easy, and, above all, they have proved watertight. As far, therefore, as our own experience and those of other nations yet go, our Warriors are regarded as models, and the new class of Warriors, the names of which we have just mentioned, only contain those altera tions which there is every reason to believe will be improvements also. _ _ In the Northumberland, building at Millwall, these changes can be plainly seen, In the first place, all the new ships are longer, broader, and deeper, so as to make them of nearly 7,000 tons burden, and by this increase of size and a slightly flatter floor giving them greater dis placement they are enabled to carry armour-coat ing over all from end to end. Their length is no less than 400 ft. ; their breadth, 59ft. ; their depth, 41ft. 6in. Their internal method of construction is most massive, yet not so massive but that comparative lightness is made an important consideration. Having no outer keel, the inner keel son is of unusual strength. It is a huge wrought iron girder, 3ft. 41in. deep, which runs throughout the vessel from end to end, a rigid bolt, the back bone of the whole structure. To this the jointed ribs are rivetted. These ribs are placed very closely --s0 closely, indeed, that there are only alternate intervals of lft. 1 lin. and 2ft. 4in. between each, and looking at where the ribs of the Northumber land are still in some places left uncovered she seems an almost solid iron shir. These ribs vary in length from 10ft. long and 3ft. deep, to 4ft. long by 18in. deep—that is to say, they are made of wrought iron in these lengths to allow of th e ir being rivetted to the longitudinals which run from end to end of the vessel, and which by intersecting the ribs at the in- tervals we have stated divide the whole bottom framework into a series of small square cellular com partments of great depth, thickness, and unyielding strength. Looking only at the ribs, however, with out these intersections, they form an immense wrought iron bow, 4ft. thick at their widest part near the keel, and tapering off to 18in. thick at the wales or widest part of the midship section, where they are bent in, so as to form a ledge of 15in. deep, on which the teak backing and armour plates rest, sft. below the water line. Strong and closely packed, however, as these ribs are, they are not so strong or so important to the framework as the longitudinals which are placed five on each side of the keelson, and form single massive girders, so t o spea k , running from end to end of the ship, curving upper deckwro o f ht all i iron, s an iron o with girder carve o o ff the er whole lines, h o Ie in the bows and stern, and and all converging making, in fact, one solid p iece frame. The cross beams which carry the deck are a on the lower decks 15in. deep, b e neath the upper deck 12in., w ne hi t l o e b k e e n ep ea o th ut theoak also of wrought shells. Thus every part and portion of the vessel is made aa angle lne o d oi irons iron n scan c onstruct box , a power ostrongand it, a t s girders, rivets, and and the vibration hender and heavy armour plates works pieces is reduced to a minimum , rendered t gh e e w d l h o s e ii 8 deck too ~ from beams is 21ft from e t e fio wooden o ra to fra med a i m h lo oh w riks lower h deck to main deck 9 ft. 2 in., and from ma i n deck to upper 7ft. 2 in. clear. Outside the ribs we have described, but inside the armour, is the skin of th e shi p of wrought-iron plates, and outside all is t he arm our , composed of 9in. of solid teak beams a nd 51in. of rolled plates L. main deck, ,knd the height o f the run what are call e d fastened through in the u sual manner w i th bolts to the inner skin. Along both sides of the shi p , al most from g the p as a fi a o g o e r e r 3 theft all . decks with which they correspond. These wing passages are shut oiffrom the body of the vessel by wrought iron bulkheads, inside which, and below the waterline, the magazines will be formed. Trans verse webs communicating one with another by man holes, which can easily be shut, divide these wings into a series of watertight cmpartments, and their use is to enable men to get a o t a leak, in case of a shot entering, or, in case of a fractured plate, to confine the leakage of the compartment in which it originates. The iron sides of the Northumberland have a apparent ra bows above. The stern is quit e round, and at both bows an d projecting unde r slope inward of 2ft., an incline of about one foot in ten. The bows are formed in outline like the curve of a swan' s breast, the breast, or beak of water t he 61 ft. to be b y e on u d thsedaes a stern the armour plates are gradually lessened off from 51in. to 41in. in thickness. This reduction of their solidity is partly to lighten the stem and stern as much as possible, and is partly necessitated by the extreme difficulty of bending 52in. plates to the peculiar forms required at these portions of the hull. The fine points to which both bows and stern are carried offer such facilities for shots to glance off , that 41in. is generally thought to be the maximum requisite here, The inner and outer stern parts of the Northumberland are gigantic specimens of forg ---. being 20in. by 10in., and 18in. by 10in. re nnd each is 44ft. long.

She is also to have an iron tower on her upper deck, 18ft. long by 13ft. wide, coated with 41in. iron, and pierced for rifle men in case of an enemy boarding. Her engines are already in course of construction by Messrs. Penn and Sons, and will be of no less than 1,250 horse power nominal. Her bunkers will hold about 1,400 tons of coal, or enough for ten days' constant steam ing, and her mean draught of water when fully equipped will be only 24ft., or nearly 2ft. less than the old wooden line-of-battle ships. At this immer sion her portsills will be nearly 10ft. from the water or a little more than 4ft. higher than those of the once famous La Gloire. The calculations of her de signers and engineers give her a speed at fall power of 14 knots, or more than 116 miles an hour. One great improvement which these new Warriors will inaugurate is a total change in their rig. When , the ironclads which are now afloat were building, the Admiralty would not hear of any departure from the traditional three masts, and those to be wooden oils. Three masts, and three masts only, were ac cordingly put into vessels which are twice as long as any line-of-battle ship afloat, and it was not until experience proved that our ironclads were, under sail, the most unhandy vessels in the service that their lordships consented to give the new ones their proper quota of spars. The Northumberland and her sister, therefore, are to have five masts each, three to be square-rigged, two with fore and aft sail, and all to be of iron. The immense importance of the latter change must be evident to all who can consider what must be the position of the Warrior in action with a wooden mast shot away and floating alongside till its mass of cordage fouled her screw, and left her a helpless wreck. An iron mast is twice as difficult to shoot away tis a wooden one, and if it does fall it goes down alongside like a deep sea lead, tears itself free, and sinks. Per haps, as these improvements are being introduced, it may not be out of place to mention another which would be equally gratifying both to officers and men—we mean the number of the crews of these vessels. A ship like the Warrior, though an overmatch for a wooden Channel Fleet, is only classed as a frigate, and, though twice as difficult to handle, and more than twice the size of any line-of-battle ship, has only a frigate's crew. As regards the mere question of labour in scrubbing decks, &c., this deficiency is by no means unimpor tant, from the intense dislike with which such large under-handed vessels come to be regarded by sailors. But in the more important matter of handling the ship in a seaway, and perhaps having to handle the ship as well as fight it, the adherence to routine, in considering these formidable vessels as ordinary frigates, is little less than absurd, and may at any unexpected moment lead to most serious con sequences. The crew of the Warrior is only 550 men, when she ought to have 800. If these new and larger Warriors have less than 850 men, both offi cers and crews will find ample work in merely keep ing them clean. We believe that in all the new vessels an endeavour will be made to introduce a steering apparatus to overcome the serious diffi culty which is now experienced in getting these iron-clads to turn with tolerable quickness. The Northumberland is to be plated with the rolled plates of the Millwall Company, to which recently, both at Vincennes and St. Petersburg, underwent with success such a severe trial from both the Freneh and Russian rifled guns. At St. Petersburg the plates were fired at twice with Mr. Krupp's 300 pounder steel gun, loaded with 401 b. and then 501 b. of powder, and each time firing a 2841 b. steel shot at 250 yards range. Both these latter shots, of course, went clear through the plate, leaving a clean round hole, without cracking or splintering the metal in any way. This steel gun of Krupp's, about which so much has lately been said, has burst since these trials. The life of all large guns appears to be lamentably short everywhere. Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Warrior, 40, iron frigate, Captain A. A. Cochrane, ' C. 8., will be undocked at Portsmouth to-morrow, and receive her crew at harbour moorings, preparatory to joining the flagship of the admiral commanding the Channel Fleet at Spithead anchorage. Since the Warrior has been in dock her bottom has been again coated with the compositions prepared by the chemical-askistant of the dockyard, and has also had an additional 100 of Brown's patent sheathing plates put on her port side, under the superin tendence of Mr. B. L. Thomson, of London, one of the pro prietors of the patent. These plates are much more expen sive, arid, consequently, more perfect in their enamel than those put on the same side of the ship when she was last in dock, and which remain on for further trial. They are of the same quality as the plates now being used for the Royal Sovereign, Royal Oak, and Ocean, and are affixed to the ship's bottom with cement prepared under the direc tion of the patentees. The Royal Sovereign has a sft. band of these plates extending round her at the water-line, and cutting off the connexion which would otherwise exist between the armour-plating and the Muntz metal sheath ing of the ship's bottom. In the last notice of the Warrior in the Naval Intelligence column of The Sun, reference was made to the condition of her bottom and to the strong suspicion entertained that the counter sunk rivet heads which secure the bottom plates were being eaten into r and destroyed, so far as their holding powers are concerned, but the action of the co p per in the unfolding compositions with which the ship's bottom has been coated. It was generally believed that some steps would have been taken to ascertain whether this suspicion was well founded. Nothing of this kind has, however, been done, and as all visibly sound and unsound parts have been covered over and filled up by fresh coating of the same description of composition, it must be assumed that the suspicions referred to are to some extent unfounded, and that the Admiralty are satisfied. On the next occasion of the ship being placed in dock there will very possibly be a more searching ex amination made to ascertain the exact truth, for the matter is of too great importance to rest as it now does. The Edgar screw line of battle ship, Capt. Geoffrey T. P. llornby, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral of the Red Sydney Colpoys Dacres, C. 8., Commander-in-chief of the Channel Fleet, steamed out of Portsmouth Harbour yes terday, and anchored at Spithead, on the completion of her refit for further service. By the receipt of private letters from Halifax, dated the 10th inst., we learn that on the previous day farewell ad- dresses were presented by the mayor and city council, and by the merchants and citizens, to Vice-Admiral Sir Alex ander Milne, K.C.B , Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships on the North American and West Indian seas, on the near approach of the time of expiry of the ga ll an t Admiral s command, and of his late official visit to Halifax. The a d ' dress from the merchants and citizens was signed by up wards of 1,200 names. According to existing arrangements yesterday at Por . te7 mouth, the Channel Fleet, under the command of its o f ho m f Rear-Admiral Sydney Cycl o p s D acres , C.D., will sail from Spithead about Tuesday next, for Copenhagen , to do honour on the to his Majesty Christi an IX., Ki ng of Denmark' occasion of his coronation. t s zaouth yester- The Pigmy ste am t en d er sa il e d from P°l . day for Sheernes s w ith E xc ellent gunnery a and supernumeraries for the Conqueror screw winen on board, line-of-battle ship, fitting out to convey Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry to Japan.

His journey, which the Piedmontese insist on transforming into a complete ovation, has been on the contrary, an uninterrupted succession of accidents and deceptions. Victor Emmanuel was to inaugurate the railroad from Ortona to Foggia. In order to get the works finished at the time named, 4000 men were employed day and night, One thousand francs a night were spent on electric opera tions, As the rain fell in torrents, thousands of waterproof coats were distributed to the workmen, who had been given wine a discretion. It rained incessantly for four days. I leave you to imagine what must have been the solidity of the works. Then, on Wednesday, the King arrived at noon, having been expected at 8 o'clock. From eight the National Guards and the troops had been under arms. At the terminus were the King's sons and the Prince do Carignan, the Pre. feet, the Syndic—in short all the civil and military authori ties more or less constituted. Of course there were pro longed cheers and acclamations. At the moment that Victor Emmanuel stepped out of the carriage, the roar of the cannon announced his arrival at Naples; at the same in stant the rain fell in torrents, which was really frightful to see, and which speedily changed the streets into rivers. As the weather had been fine in the morning, all the carriages of the court party were open. I need hardly tell you that their enthusiasm was somewhat damped. Some of the Working Men's Societies followed the cortege in dirty carriages, adorned with still dirtier flags, A great parade of the forces took place. The 12 legions of the Na tional Guard were echeloned from the station to the palace. The grenadiers, the marines, two battalions of artillery, and a squadron of lancers occupied the Place San Ferdinando before the palace. The Bth regiment of the line was on the Place Marcatello, the 7th and 11th were on the Place della Pigue, the 12th, Place Castello, and the Light horse at the Capuan Gate. Some grotesque episodes marked the arrival of King Victor Emmanuel. A woman, all dressed in black, holding a great banner dressed in black crape; was intended to represent Rome. When the cortege started, this woman wished to rush forwerd and show herself to the King, but she slipped and fell into a great poul of water, from which she was not picked up until the Royal party had passed on. You know the people of Naples, and that they are very su perstitious and much inclined to joking. On every side arose mocking cries, "All is over / Rome has fallen into the sea. Victor Emmanuel has missed Rome, 'tis not the first miss he has made of it;" and other jokes which amused me very much, being accompanied by thon gestures which aro unmatched in the world. The municipality had conceived an unfortunate idea, which was to post on the walls immense placards bearing the words" Benvenuto, it Re d'l talia." The result was that on all sides one heard that VictorEennanuel was dethroned, that the Municipality had announced it everywhere, and that Benvenuto was king in his stead. Toe next day a caricature representing Benvenuto (the principal confectioner in Naples, as well known here as Tortoni in Paris), seated on a throne in his cafe, and re ceiving the homage of his subjects, made its appearance. But, to return to King Victor Emmanuel. He was wet to the bones, but appeared to take his bath philosophically enough, and certainly conducted himself well in an un pleasant position. Every now and then it was plain that he barely restrained a burst of laughter, provoked by the irrepressible shivering of the Prefect and the Syndic, both seated in front of him. They reflected dolorously on the colds and catarrhs by which they would expiate their damp journey. Their teeth were clenched during the whole of the drive, The air of all the persons composing the cortege was rather pitiable than enthusiastic, and the King jested with the ladies who had been invited on the fratclieur of their toilette. Having reached the palace, the King sP" peered for a moment on the balcony. The troops were then to have marched past, but the instant the King presented himself the rain, which had ceased for a few minutes while the cortege was passing down the Rue de Toledo,. ree_- commenced with such violence that Victor Knira c a a n r t r l ie l r i apparently thinking the joke had too far, retired, and the inspection crying, •To redbidoonnot take place. Some ragamuffins crossed the °gu t; in his shirt, Rome I to Venice 1' But the and the mounted gendarmes dispeinregstedwuastphceancroegpwe.ra. At San Carlo it was found impossible , g in t° honour of England, and sang a cantata of having nothing whatever to do with the King's arrival at Naples. It seemed as th e specta A c p le ro w po er s e of in m h r o . n E ou l r lio o t f Mr. Elliott, th e British Minister. you must know that the lettatura has pursued the Ministers w h o a ccompanied the King, as well as the King Th e Prussian, Turkish, himself. RUSsiall, and English Ministers, as well as the First Secretary of the French Legation, have followed Victor Emmanuel everywhere. At Bovino the diplomatic equipage was overturned. The Turkish Minister sprained his wrist, but Mr. Elliot, whose mind is greatly pre-occupied about brigands, immediately suspected an ambuscade, and drawing his revolver, fired at the postillions. N o one was wounded, but it was very difficult to calm Mr. Elliot. The bad state of the roads was the sole cause of the accident; in fact, the E n _ geers dare no t work where the brigands reign. with do no t know ho w Mr. Elliot will be able to affirm that br igan.. a ge no long er exists, and that the roads are perfectl y safe, when be arms himself cap .a-pie to make a journey the sing in the midst of an arm y .

The weather was so bad it had been found impossible for the smallerships to leave the Gulf of }llia. No matter, the review must be held. The admiral ordered the ships to be got into line of battle.

His arrival was very opportune, for thoy were without flour or vegetables, except unripe pota toes. He induced a merchant at New Zealand to send them a supply of the things they most needed, in exchange for wool, tallow, and hides. The total number of inhabitants was then 212, and they still preserved the remarkable morality which. has always distinguished them, since the time when John Adams became such an altered. character, in consequence, it is said, of a dream. The governor of New South Wales summoned them to meet him, that they might hear him read and explain the revised code of laws ho had drawn up, which were substantially the same as those he found, in force there, as he did not consider himself to be a good judge of what was best suited for a state of society which had nothing analogous to it in the re s t t of the world. By these re g ulations, the governm of Norfolk Island is vested in a chief magistrate and two councillors, all to be elected annually by the inhabitants who have resided six months on thta island ; as no distinction of sex is specified, it may be assumed that women are entitled to , vote. Commissions are issued to these magistrates under the great seal of the colony of New South Wales, and power is given to them to enact new laws with the consent of a majority of the popula tion ; but they cannot repeal those previously exist- lug. As a contrast to the innumerable laws in eluded in our statute-books, th-e simplicity of their code is the move striking. In cases of dispute, tho chief magistrate endeavours to bring the parties to an agreement; but if the parties refuse to be guided by his advice, he is to summon his councillors to his assistance, their joint decision to be final in nil cases where the property in dispute does not exceed fifty shillings in value. In cases of common assault they might inflict a fine not exceeding ten shillings. In cases of a more serious character, when the parties refuse to submit to the decision of the council of three, the chief magistrate obtains the assistance of seven elders. Together they are em powered to inflict a penalty not exceeding . ten pounds, and the offender is to pay it in money or produce. If he have neither, the amount to be taken out of him in labour on the public w . orks. If the offence is of a public nature, the convicted par , ties are required to pay all costs..
