Liverpool Commercial-buildings, Water-street. Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the y,ar :852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while i❑ 18r2 it was 595,339, which, in the year ending June, 1813, increased to 756,120 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, econom; of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only be. n employed in alt the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced sailing vessels. For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer can trade screw steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers be.ng Jahn conveyed by sailing vessels. In the important branches of the American import trade, viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually sustained by boating' during* the protr cted voyages fre quently made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of any scheme for the extension of steam shipping to include such freight, and there c.,n be no doubt but that the whole of the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool • alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa.l entirely into the hands of steam companies. The first object of this Company is to place on the New York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size and great capacity, which will be able ,to carry almost, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels, - whilst at the same time, frost the regularity of their passages, they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the Directors also intend sending steamers to the American 'Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the `trade re-opened, and have also under their consideration the wants of the Brazil and other trades. In organising this Company the Directors believe that it wilt not enter into undue competition with the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. 'The Inman Line has no subsidy, but nevertheless has been most succeszful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much ie-s cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even partially antic pared, and that the stations may at once be occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all respects suitable tor the service, have been secured, and con tr Jct.+ have been entered into for the bu 'dim; of others of about 3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to c ,mmence with a fort nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings as soon as the vessels can be ;rot ready. The ports of depar ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, au,/ London to the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan—late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Regis ry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting En., ineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th s Company. The success which has attended the formation of well managed steam companies has been very marked. That of Cunard and tnman Company is well known. the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose sbares,£so paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out et profits given to its share h Asters new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori ginal capital • and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, white many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much sm4ller than those this Conpa..y intend to possess, have reaped like results. . .

The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a very great success to the undertaking. They are not en tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, ban those which have proved so remunerative to severa well known private firms engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient hot se-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings ot great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stock companies, which m .y embrace the co-operation of shippers an of others interested, instead of by private capital,sts as heretofore; the result being that the supporters of this line will•become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn.

Richardson's efforts in that direction, good en ou g h in conception, were wholly neutralised by the execution. To impress upon maid ' servant s, governesses, and lady's maids, the worldlyeidvan tages of chastity, and to generate in their minds the belief that this virtue did exist in the class to which they themselves belonged, was, unques tionably, a useful purpose in the middle of the 18th century.

We are not exagge rating. Space precludes us, even if nothing else did, from supplying proofs of what we say.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. As the time approaches for undocking the iron frigate Achilles, 35, 1,250-horse power at Chatham, increased exertions are being used by the officials. so that no delay May be experienced in completing and equipping her for sea immediately afterwards. The whole of the broadside plating which protects her midship battery has been completed 'for seine time, and is now being cleared down preparatory to receiving the final coating of paint. In this portion of the Achilles the armour plating is ex tended to her upper deck, which, cgain, is plated with iron varying from 5-16ths to 5-Sths of an inch in thickness, to protect the gunners on the manacle& from the effects of shell and molten metal. The mid ship's battery is protected at the stem and stern by armour-plated bulkheads, rendering the central portion of the main deck to all intents a shot and shell proof battery, the guns in which may Still be employed long efter those on the other parts of the main deck have been silenced. Beyond the armour plated bulkheads the 4a-inch armour-plating is not carried any higher than the main deck floors. With the exception of some 20 plates to be fixed to the counter and buttock of the stern portion of the frigate, the entire plating is completed. This nor lion of the work, however, proceeAs but slowly, in consequence of the extreme nicety required—first in cutting the slabs of iro l t; to the eale - afaaliepe of the , stern of the vessel, and afterwards fitting them in their place, both operations requiring the greatest possible care. In order to lessen, as much as pos ible, the tendency to roll, which, more or less, characterises the whale of our iron ships, the Achilles has been built flatter on the floor thau was the case with the Warrior and Black Prince. In addition, she has been furnished with two iron bilge pieces, running nearly the entire length of the vessel, and placed about midway between her keel and water-line. These, there is little doubt, will have considerable effect in lessening any ten dencies to roll which she may exhibit when at sea. With regard to the remarks which have been made respecting the time spent in building the Achilles, a few facts will prove, perhaps, that her construc tion has occupied a shorter period than that of the Warrior, with which she has been unfavourably compared. The Admiralty records show that the Warrior was commenced in the month of May, 1859, and, according to the contract, was to be ready to receive her engines in 11 months from that date, and to proceed to sea in three months after wards. Instead, however, of be in g ready by the time specified, the Warrior did not leave the Ttiaases until the month of October , 1861. Sh e then pro s to Portsmouth, where she remained a consi derable time before being fin all y ready for sea ; thus only a few months short of three years we for sea, re em ployed in her constructio n and e quipment In the case of the Ach illes the order to begin to build the vessel together with the sheer draught, arrived at Chatham Dockyard from the Admiralty, on the 19th of Ap ril, 1861, at which date not a single piece of the vast machinery afterwards re quired had arrived at the dockyard, In addition to this the best portion of a year was lost in the erection of the requisite factories, sheds, workshops, & e ., for carrying on the construction oi an iron ves sel of vast size, the first of the kind ever attempted at either of the Royal dockyards. Within about a mon th, however, after the commencement of the Achilles —namely, on the 30th May, 1801—an Ad miralty order arrived at Chatham for commencing the iron-plated frigate Royal Oak, and as she was required to be completed and sent to sea before the Achilles, all the available force of the dockyard was placed on her, while her machinery erected for the Achilles was devoted, almost exclusively, to the preparation of the armour-plates for the Royal Oak, wh i c h was completed and launched in little more than a year from being commenced and despatched t o sea from Chatham at the beginning of the present year. Had not the Achilles been consequently de layed in order to complete the Royal Oak, the for mer vessel would have bee n out of hand and des patched to sea at least 12 months since. The first armour-plate was fixed on the broadside of the Achilles on the sth of February last, so that in little more than eight months she will have been entirely plated from stem to stern, whereas, in the case of the Warrior, the armour-plating is carried only for some 200 ft. along each broadside, leaving nearly double the number of plates to be bolted to the ex terior of the Achilles to those placed on the sides of the Warrior. Taking into consideration the superior quality of the work in the Achilles, as compared with that in the Warrior, the former is as much superior to the latter as the Warrior was to the Mersey, theeprlando, and other fine frigates of their dey. An announcement has been received from Messrs. Penn and Sons that the whole of the machinery for the Achilles will be ready by the middle of December.

CLEVER CAPTURE OF A BIGAMIST.—It seems that James Hill, a good-looking man of about 30 or 35 years of age, and who is captain of a flat called the Martha , some time in February last took it into his head to present his wife with a cal* de visite of himself. For this purpose he went into a photographic establishment in Liverpool, where he found a young woman, na med Elizabeth Hoo d, waiting to h ave her likeness also taken. Miss Hood's per" sonal attractions at once struck the captain, who engaged conversation with her, and represented tha t he was an un married man. Captain Hill's courtship w as not of wlon,i.g duration, for on the third day of forming an intitna . nY ai r r. the young woman he led her to the hymenea oi l cing . i , The second Mrs. Hill was now a happy woma h n u r f o i_. un.a tely the prospect of soon becoming a mother; but _ ro t_r h ' er lips, I her cup of happiness was soon to be dashed I for one day two women presented themselv es eher nam e was and asked her to give her name.

Morality of our Satirists and Novelists, (Front the Church and State Review.) 1 A7e expurgated editions wise, or are they foolish ? For our own parts, and putting aside the strong feeling which ofte n p revails o n the subject, we do not believe that the affirmative theory will hold water for one moment. Boys never realise to l little them selves ancient life sufficiently to make the wo rs t y in thing general, but have mere tt dry passages of the cla ssics a n bones. Delineatio ns of vice, bad effect when confined to remote persons and un familiar scenes. What is to be dreaded is descrip tions of vice which represent it as easy, accessible, and contiguous ; which throw a doubt upon the virtue of people whom we meet in our daily walks, and insinuate the corruptibility of servants or de pendants. A lad of sixteen or seventeen may read over the Sixth Satire of Javenal twenty times without any loose wish being awakened by it. Vice is there presented to him in such a totally strange dress that he knows it not. What have the filthy orgies of the Roman senatresses to do with him ? It is like reading of the Yahoos. What feelings can be roused in him by the monstrous and distorted shapes which ordinary immorality assumes in those pages but a mixture of wonder and loathing ? None. But, probably, not even these emotions are excited in one case out of fifty. We appeal to all our public school readers, if they did not take Appia and Catulla too much as a matter of course, to give even a passing thought to the nature of their proceedings. Do they remember that these passages were ever made the subject of indecent jokes, or served as a prelude to obscene conversa tion? We believe that these descriptions are ground up in a common mill with the rest of the lesson ; that they excite nobody and suggest nothing. Now, ,nutatis mutandis, the same is to be said of the majority of operas. What are the wrongs of a Druid priestess to a lady of the nineteenth century ? What realisable state of society does the "Favorite" represent to her? Is it not all a sort of nephelo coccygia—or, to say the least of it—as strange and uncongenial a picture of society as l ife among the Esquimaux or the inhabita nts of T i mbuctoo, from whose manners and morals it is im p ossible she should reason to her own ? If we add to this the accessories by which operatic stories are accompanied, we s h a ll see that the deodorisation of them is complete. The music and singing and dancing round off the dissi militude between them and real life. No great actor or actress who aspired to a high reputation i n pure art would dream of appearing in an opera. Th e i mpersona tion of character, the holding up of the m irror to nature, is there impossible. Consequently the ill effects of representing vice upon the stage, in a seductive and stimulating form, are impossible also. The " Travieta" might have been worse. But then the heroine of the " Traviata" was a re cognised professional courtezan. Now, the difference between novels and either ancient classics or modern librettos is, that the former do, as a rule, deal with contemporary man ners; they having, i n th e di sc h a rge of this function, gradually superseded comedy.
