What is to be done, then P In the absence of Lord Derby, Lord Shaftesbury proposed that the bill be read that day six months, which is sending it into space for ever. Even if there were no other objec tion to that course than that so short an answer wgpld hardly comm, - nd respect, there is a more serious reason against it. There are other railway projects likely to evoke similar remonstrances. Lord Ebury mentioned one which proposes to occupy the north silo of Euston-square. This is a general question, and cannot be met in detail. The Board of Trade accordingly has been instructed to report on the subject, and its report is expected in a week or so. Lord Granville therefore invited the Lord,. to wait for it, if only from civility. The trouble had been taken and oaght not to be thrown ms ay. Ile therefore proposed that the debate be adjourned for a fortnight, instead of six months. So reasonable a request could not be denied, and the matter Waits for more light. JAMES STEWART, Secretary.

ESKELL'S INVENTION (Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial Scts of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing w ith springs or unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tee closest observer.

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for mality of eovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

PETER BASQUET, ne' Nwl'warr de Brant. At, 5, Swallow-a,reet. London, March 15, 1863. PosT.—Rear-Admiral Robinson, the Controller of the Navy, observes that—" The iron ship of to day, for which so large a price has been paid, may not be the weapon we require to-morrow. It may therefore prove wiser and more economical to supply the want of the moment by a cheaper and less durable structure, which at least is of the same quality as those with which we contend." In this suggestion we fully agree; for if it to be admitted that the larger class of iron vessels is unsuited to chasing fast wooden vessels upon the high seas, or through intricate channels in distant latitudes, then it becnrnes a question whether for °tiltr pur poses the larger iron vessel is the more desirable f- to lt h 'to be proved that for de .l iron vessel on the turret is effective. For if these le invulnerable in the tnr r,, then it is evident that isiderable advantages over will be able to manoeuvre shallower water, and can 'y and for very much less ane to another part of the utmost importance. We limited time, money, and nor the creation of an en fore becomes our business we can adopt under the our present position. We of wooden line:of-battle let is to become of these id by as useless, broken )e converted into floating irotection to our harbours, a good . 4l4(evito te,Q4c. e trunk there should be'ncitwo opinions regarding the course which ought to be pursued with respect to these vessels. Every one must re member the sensation caused by the appearance of the Merrimac, and the extraordinary achievements of that vessel. For some unaccountable reason very little attention has been directed towards the science and skill which was displayed in the design and construction of that vessel, which WAS a wooden vessel converted into a most formidable engine of war. It has been the fashion to speak of her as a mere hastily constructed iron-clad. Now let us fairly consider this matter for a moment. If this hastily constructed iron-clad was able to sink a fine American frigate like the Cumberland by a single blow, and defy all the ships and batteries of the Federal fleet, and fight an action next day, which ended in a drawn battle, with a new and formida ble antagonist like the iron-clad Monitor, we think we must have rather underrated the value of a vessel of this description. Gen. M'Clellan reckoned the possession of the Merrimac as equivalent to an army of fifty thousand men. Now, if this was the true value of that vessel, of what value then would be our whole fleet of wooden line-of-battle ships if converted into iron-clads upon the plan of the Merrimac, with such improvements as we should derive from our greater leisure and superior means ? Such a form of vessel would answer admirably for defensive purposes in our harbours if fitted with a double screw, which would give them the necessary power of mancenvring rapidly in a confined space, an ad vantage which, if the Merrimac had possessed in her combat with the Monitor, would probably have changed a drawn battle into a decided victory. A certain number of our line-of-battle ships might be sent in their present form to distant stations, and there converted into armour-plated vessels upon this simple but most effective principle. There can be no doubt but that they would be quite formida ble enough to deal with any vessel that would be likely to oppose them in those distant regions. As it would be too long here to examine into all the arguments brought forward in the paper presented to the Admiralty by Admiral Robinson, we shall confine ourselves to merely remarking that the evi dence appea.s conclusive upon the little dependence that is to be placed upon the quality of work and material supplied by the firms that have contracted for the building of our iron ships. We arrive, therefore, at this conclusion—that if it were even desirable to build many more large ships en tirely of iron, it would be advisable to build them in the royal dockyards, where only we can rely with confidence on securing sound material and good workmanship, without which combination the vessels would be worthless, TIMES.—How are the railways to get into the metropolis? Are they to capture it, like a foe, with sapping and mining P Are they to light, like , winged Mercury, on the tops of the houses ? Are they to walk in like citizens ? Must they occupy the open square, or clear away the crowded courts and lanes? Are they to be trusted right in the heart of the city, or must they be restricted to a fauhourg, as the Danes were once inside of Temple bar? One thing is certain—they cannot come in without, being a uui-ante, of one sort or another, to somebody. Perhaps the people who would be the best content to let them abide by their present ter mini are the shareholders themselves. The Great Eastern proprietors, as Lord Shaftesbury tells us, have been a long time making up their minds to borrowing at 5 per cent. in order to get into Fins bury-circus and make a station there, when they have just divided 1 per cent. for half a year. No doubt, if the travelling public would only be so good as to think the cab journey to Shoreditch an amuse ment, and so ingenious as to do it from any part of the metropolis in a quarter of an hour, the company would be glad to see their dividends rising without further outlay. But other companies are stepping in befure them, and ready to grasp the prize their own modesty denies them. There are many hundreds of young married couples discussing at this moment the interesting question whether they shall make their start—say, at Sydenham, or Blackheath, or Stamford-hill, or Tottenham, or towards Epping Forest. Foremost among the pros and cons is the distance from the city to the station, and London-bridge is a good deal nearer than Shoreditch. Then the West-end people can go through the Borough to London bridge, and what is more they can get to any part of the South-Eastern Counties from Victoria Sta tion, and will soon be able to do so from Charing-cross. They have no strong prejudice in favour of the East ern Counties, and they feel the last mile from the city to Shoreditch as an aggravation of their civic progress. So,on the whole, the shareholders of the Great Eastern, as the company now calls itself, con clude they must throw more good money after bad, and centralise their metropolitan terminus. But when they have slowly made up their minds, the merchants and professionals who have taken posses sion of Finsbury-circus claim a voice in the matter. A strong opposition has been organised, and the rights of ventilation and circulation warmly main tained in behalf of children, nurserymaids, young ladies, invalids, and the proprietors of the London Institution. The rights of the former are before the world and appeal to all. The last mentioned have not had full justice done to them. How is a man to study the Greek Plays, topography, and inter national law, in which that library is so rich, if a train is to rumble, hiss, shriek, and whistle over his head every five minutes, and if tt ere is a never ending stream of cabs coming and going under his feet? Two other remonstrances have now been put in, no doubt encouraged by the favourable hearing given to Lord Derby. The Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital is close to the proposed extension. It is a bard case when a hos pital is only near a line, without being touched, and has therefore all the nuisance without redress. Even if the hospital could move away into the country, it must be considered that we still want dispensaries which ought to be accessible, and, if possible, united with hospitals. We fear, however, that it has long since been ruled that a hospital shall not stop a railway. As for the poor journeymen tailors who have placed themselves under Lord Shaftesbury's benevolent protection, and who don't want to be driven further from their employers, hom they have to visit seven times a day, we can only suggest that their employers had better find workshops for them, or follow them into the coun try. We cannot regard a little thinning of the East London population as an evil so great that the House of Lords must step in to avert it. There never was a q'aestion which brought out more strongly the want of some Board or other authority charged with a representatation of the public in terest upon every railway project. It appears that the students of the London Institution, the nursery maids, the ophthalmic patients, the journeymen tailors, and other equally interesting or important classes have hardly a locus standi in the Committee 'on this bill. Finsbury-circus and square are the only habitable places of the fashion which London loves within half a mile of the Bank. The Circus is a decidedly pretty place, and is remarkable for the number of institutions, public edifices, and chapels of all nations and creeds in it and about it. Whoever has walked round it will grudge its threatened appropriation. Of course, a fine gen tleman will smile at the idea of anybody having a sentimental attachment to a circular row of smoke stained houses, with a few lilacs a n d p l ane trees , i n the thick of the City. But it is not everybody who can walk or sleep even three miles out of town, ights and Maims.' In 1851 the Earl Grey's form to adopt.

REJOICINGS IN COPENHAGEN. COPENHAGEN, March 10.—This city, in spite of an over cast sky and a cold temperature, has throughout the day presented a scene of unusual brilliance and splendour. At an early hour not only the royal palace's and Government and other public buildings, which here so greatly abound, but almost all the dwelling houses, were gaily decorated with Danish, English, Swedish, and other flags, while the places of public resort, the squares, the streets, the quays, and even the neighbouring country roads, have been crowded with people in holiday garb, whose whole demeanour and appearance testified to their happiness, who were evidently bent on doing honour to their favourite princess on the oc • oasion of what is regarded by all as her most auspicious marriage. In the beautiful gardens and grounds of the Rosenborg Palace the scene was particularly animated ; and, as the town is in many places intersected with " ha vens" and canals, the gay appearance which the shipping in them presented vas both appropriate and striking, while the effect produced by the strains of music from the military and other bands in the squares and on the ramparts was most enlivening. The public gardens of Tivoli and the Alhambra have been frequented by crowds all the morning ; and as the pre parations making at both for the evening promise that the displays there will then be more attractive than ever, those who cannot obtain admittance to the grand ball at the Casino will not be without their means of enjoyment also, although the illuminations are likely to be so attractive that many will doubtless be content with the gratification which these will assuredly afford. The arrangements which had been made for giving a good and substantial repast to the poor have been carried out with remarkable success, not only here but at Roeskilde, Gjentofte, and other towns and villages, so that all that could be thought of has been done to make the day one of festivity and enjoym nt. The more ample accounts of the splendid and affectionate reception which was given to the, dear Princess Alexandra on her arrival in England have tended, perhaps, to increase the universal joy; and as to these has just ben adde I the announcement by telegraph of the actual solemnisation of the marriage at Windsor, nothing seems to be awanting to secure that happiness which is so ardently desired for the Prince and Princess of Wales, alike by the people of England and of Denmark. Fatal Accidents at the Illuminations in the City. An inquest w,s held yes erd /37 at St. Bartholo m-w's Hospital by Mr. W. J. Payne, deputy coro ner tor the City, to inquire into the circumstances which led to the deaths ot tour persons who were killed during the pressure of the crowd on the night ot ruesday last. Th e persons wtio thus lost their lives w-re named Anne Harding, Eliz Abeth Grove, Ellen Giles, and Caroline Mitchell. Thomas Graham, 195, Goswell-road, coachmakcr, said that about ten o'clock on the evening of Tues day he was corning from St. Paul's down to Lud gate-hill on the right hand side of the way. He had been previously on the other side of the way. One side was kept for those going towards the City and the other for those coming westwards. There were great numbers of persons going . both ways and pas s i ng each other. There were vehicles in the carriage way. He was between the Old Bailey and Farringdon street, and . when he got to the Belle Sau vage gateway h i s attention was called to a young woman struggling in the crowd. She was the sister o f C arol i ne Mi tc h e ll. li e assisted in getting her out of the crowd, and she implored him to go in search of her sister. He went about fifty yards up Belle Sauvage-yard, where there were great numbers of persons, and on the ground he found Car o li ne Mitchell, whom he recognised by the description her sister had given him of her. There were no persons then trampling on her, but he learned that there had been, and that she had been carried through the crowd. Her dress was dis i 'zdered, and her bonnet was off and crumpled from having been trampled on. He lifted her up and found she was warm, but apparently dead. He I called the poli ce , w h o b roug ht a y oung medical man. The latter, on feeling her pulse, pronounced her dead. There was no particular illumination or attraction about that place; there was rather less. The police were very numerous about there, and were most attentive. After some minutes wit ness was able to get the deceased into a public house, and she was conveyed to the hospital. Joseph Nott age, of Friar's-mount, general dealer, said that he w as proceeding along at the time in question towards St. Paul's up Ludgate-hill. He was about three-quarters of an hour coming along from Temple-bar. When opposite the gateway (Belle Sauvage-ya r d) he saw about a dozen persons lying on the top of one another in the carriage-way. There were two lines of carriages, as far as he could see. Some persons were b eat i ng b ack the crowd, which was sw ying about. It was not through larking, but to prevent the persons on the ground being trampled on. Just at that spot there was no carriage. He assisted in getting up the woman Harding. Her bonnet was crushed beside her. A gentleman examined her and said " She is gone." There were some persons larking among themselves, but not at the place where the people fell, that he could see. A man named Goddard, a general dealer, con d the last witness's evidence, and added that there was only one line of carriages on Ludgate gill, At that time. Hi , t aw several people knocked d , wn, but cot by vehicles. They were knocked down by the force of the crowd. The evidence in all the other cases was of a similar character. The deceased persons being in extricably mixed up with the crowd, and, being weak, were aeon exhausted and fell. None of the witnesses could account for the extraordinary pressure of the crowd at the place where the deaths occurred. It also appeared that there were no special attractions in the way of illuminations on the spot. Verdicts of accidental death Were returned in all cases. A inquest was also held on Thursday on the body of an infant, two months old, the son of a poor woman named Brady, living at Oak-lane, Lime house. The mother stated that while in King William-street on, Tuesday, looking at the illumi nations, there was a great crowd and crush, but she did not notice that the child was particularly pressed against. She, howev er , o b serve d t h at the child was black in the face, and was gasping ; and on making her way cut of the crowd she found that the child was dead. Medical evidence proved that the child's death was caused by suffocation. The verdict of the jury was—" That the deceased, being an infant of tender age, was suffocated in its mother's arms by the pressure of the crowd in the public streets on the ni g h t of Tuesday, the 10th of March." THE CASE OF PROFESSOR JOWETT.—It is be lieved in Oxford circles that the promoters of the case against Professor Jowett will not carry out the appeal, of which notice was given by Mr. Latimer, but that they will abide by the decision of the learned Assessor of the Vice-Chan oellor's Court, IRON SHIPBUILDING. Mr. John Ford, Managing Director of the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, in a letter to a contemporary, dated March 10, says : A paper on the construction of ships for her Ma jesty's navy lies just been presented to Parliament and printed. It is signed by the Controller of the Navy, and contains charges so grave, and at the same time, se, unfounded against the contractors by wheat, our iron -ca ed Ships have been built, and singles tso we cannot pass it over in silence, and must reqtiest the favour of your giving our reply a place in your columns, We are accused of " general slovenliness in the work," of being " beset by great temptation to use inferior and cheaper material," of taking advantage of any alteration or improvement being desired to enforce exorbitant terms for its execution ; and of failing altogether, in common with all the other contractors, to fulfil our agreements either as to time or cost. To all these accusations we give an indignant and complete denial. We challenge the Controller of the Navy and all his officers to produce a single example of slovenliness in workmanship or infe riority in material. We appeal to the thousands who have seen the Warrior, to every practical man who has examined her (and where are those who have not ?) as to her present condition after more than a 12 month's trial through the worst weather, and to the reports of her captain, as our vindication against these charges ; and with the great companies for whom we have built some of 1 the finest vessels afloat, with foreign Governments, by whom we are largely employed, and with the private firms for whom we have worked, we hope that we have established a reputation which will withstand even such a blow as one in the high posi tion, and armed with the authority of Controller of the Navy, has thus sought to deal against it. With respect to the charge of claiming exorbi tant terms for making alterations, we are able to prove that in no instance have we received even adequate remuneration. Such an accusation could only have been made by those who, not having to spend their own money, know little of, and care less for, cost. As to our failure to fulfil our engagements either as to time or cost, we have specific facts to deal with. The Controller states that we "agreed" to build the Warrior " for £210,225, including extras." We never made any such agreement, nor any thing giving even colourable ground forsuch a com plete misstatement. Our original contract sum for the Warrior was £190,225. On March 16, 1861, six months be, ore the Warrior left the Thames, we sent in to the Controller an account of extras amounting to £40,808. intimating at the same time that we had other large claims, and when all was finished, we claimed, not the sum of £254,728, as stated by the Controller, but £269,600, of which we were paid only £251,646. The changes and additions made in the Warrior beyond her original design were, as these figures will themselves show, enormous ; in fact, the ship as built was, to a very great extent, different from the ship as contracted for, and when she was finished we took the following course:—We submitted to the Controller that these additions and changes were so extensive, our claim for extras so large and so diffi cult for the Admiralty officers to deal with, that the fairest course would be for us to show the Admi ralty what the ship had really cost, and that they should pay us that cost with a profit of 12,3- per cent., which, considering that all our resources had for more than two years been placed at the disposal of the Government, we did not consider unreasonable, nor so much as we might have claimed in an extra bill. The Controller of the Navy himself recom mended the adoption of this principle of settlement, only reducing the profit to be allowed to us to 5 per cent., or £12,000. All our books and accounts were submitted to the closest investigation by the Ad miralty accountants, who verified their absolute accuracy, and we consented to receive this settle ment, although really, as we now desire to state, it gave us no profit as shipbuilders at all. Not con templating during the constructiou of the vessel the possibility of such a mode of settlement, all the iron and the armour-plates, which we manufacture our selves, were charged to the ship at little over their prime cost, and at much less than the market prices, or what, had we been shipbuilders only, we must have paid ; and the £12,000 given us as profit lust about represents this difference. As to the question of time, the paper contains an admission that " some" delay was occasioned in the Warrior by the alterations made in the course of building. This admission is made in such a manner as to suggest that the delay so caused was trivial, and that the principal delay was due to the miscal culation or dilatoriness of the contractors. In the tabulated form the delay is put down as 17 months, but between July, 1860, and October, 1861--the dates given in the same table—is only 15 months, and even in such a point as this there is the same utter disregard of correctness in facts and figures which characterizes this paper throughout. We frankly admit, as we have before done, to the Admiralty, that had we built the Warrior without any alteration from the original design our estimate of time would have been two or three months too little ; but beyond that we affirm that all the additional delay is due to the changes made by the Admiralty and to the stop page of our work, and the additional work thereby imposed upon us. This is not the occasion to de monstrate this in detail, but the amount claimed and the sum actually paid by the Admiralty on this account will show to the general reader the magni tude of these changes, and their consequent neces sary effect upon the time required for the comple tion of the ship. With lespect to our other engage ments with the Admiralty for the completion of the Valiant and the Minotaur, we are prepared to prove that the delay in the former is in no respect due to us as contractors, and, as to the latter, we shall launch and finish her within an additional time, less than is due to the alterations and delays caused by the Admiralty themselves. The truth is, that in building these vessels our interest is so great in completing them quickly—the possibility of profit depends so greatly upon this—that it is one continued struggle an cur part to get on, in spite of official delays. Nevertheless, we have always admitted that the Admiralty were right in seeking in every way to improve those vessels, and that in the Warrior the improvements were well worth all the time occupied in planning and carrying them out ; at the same time, in our corre spondence with the Controller, we have protested, and do protest, against their system of blaming the contractor for the consequences of their own acts. Having dealt with the private question between the Controller and ourselves, we venture to make a few remarks on the public question as to the build dura- bility of iron over wood, but imputes to iron cer tainare opinions of which no proof disadv an t ages . The paper admits the superior strength and Th at the s pli n t ers f rom i ron ar e more miscbieveus Than from w oo d , or t h at iron s hi ps can b e pi erce d below their a rmour more eas il y t h an woo d en ones , That plates of Iron can, i n except i ona l circum proof whatever is offered. stoncee, be pierced more easily than wooden bottoms we admit ; but tho example of the Great Britain in Dundrum Bay, and many others that could be referred to, show that iron ships may be stranded wil li more safety end less damage than wooden ones, The bulkheads and double bottom, which are most disingenuously stet: d to be complicated and costly arrangements, introduced to re medy local weakness, are in fact advantages which cannot he overvalued, which exist only in iron ships, Lind for which wooden ones possess nothing equivalent. The Great Eastern struck lately on a rock, and was saved by her double bottom. Many vessels have been saved by their bulkheads, and, indeed, if there were no other re commendation ()Ikon, this alone would be a reason for preferring it to wood. That a copper-bottomed ship will foul less rapidly than iron bottom must be admitted; but better dock accommodation and somewhat more frequent cleaning will remedy this defect. Even copper is not an absolute protection, and the fact that the Warrior, having been nearly a twelvemonth at sea without going into dock, came home the .oihof ,day dop g , Channel 114 joule' nearly keeping pace with the Royal- yacht, doing 131 knots with full boiler power, proves that this is by no means so great an objection as the Con troller of the Navy maintains. The great feet, however, that all onr large steam companies—the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany, the Royal Mail, the Cunard, &c.—have long since abandoned wood and adopted iron, proves that at least these drawbacks, be they what they may, are more than counterbalanced by the advantages of iron. We are ignorant of the authority on which the Controller announces that it is the opinion of M. Duprez de l'Ome that wood is better than iron for iron-cased ships, but we have very good reason to believe that this gentleman employs wood only because France possesses wood, but not iron, and workmen in wood but not in iron, and uses the means that he has at his disposal, although admit ting their inferiority, and we know as a public fact that having begun in wood they are now resorting to iron. We could say much more on the question of the time to be occupied in building in wood in the dock yards as compared with iron by the contractors, but we are already trespassing too much on your space, and we will only remark in conclusion on the com parison given as to cost, and the effect of one course or the other on the navy estimates, - The Controller gives the cost of an iron ship at £214,000, as compared with a wooden one at £187,000, showing a saving of £27,000 per ship., Without questioning these figures, which can not, however, be admitted as correct, we would ob serve that this is only the cost of the hull, and that n each case is to be added, the cost being the same, the machinery, say £50,000; the rigging and outfit say £20,000 ; the armament, stores, &c., say £20,000 more. The real difference, therefore, is not between £214,000 and £187,000, but between £304,000 and £277,000. In other words, on the coat of five ves sels as proposed, out of a million and a half for iron the country is to save £135,000 even on the Con troller's own showing, and that for the sake of this difference it is " wiser and more economical to supply the wants of the moment by a cheaper and less durable structure." We do not believe in the cheapness, but we only point out now how small the economy is to be. _ _ _ That if these ships are built of wood in the dock yards " no more money will be required than what already appears in the Navy Estimates, whereas if built of iron by contract the whole of the money re quired to do so must be voted separately, in addi tion to the ordinary Navy Estimates, is a most ex traordinary statement. Build these vesse:s as we may, the £50,000 for machinery, the £40,000 for rigging, outfit, arma ment, &c., will alike have to be spent. If built of wood in the dockyards, each ship will require above 1,000 tons of armour-plates to be purchased of " contractors," which, with the expense of fixing, will absorb some £50,000 out of the £187,000 put down by the Controller as the cost of each ship. Of the remaining £137,000, say roughly one-third in wages, or £47,000, will be spent if the ships are built in the dockyards, or saved if not; and of the £90,000 balance, representing the material, ther© will be timber, &c., in the dockyard worth the money if remaining there, or capable of being soli for the money to the contractors, or saving the money in the next Estimates by continuing in stock.
