My dear Fellow, Gentlemen sup at EVANS', Covent-garden. the period of her sale out of the service was attached to the Chatham steam reserve ordinary, was completed a few days since, and the result of the protracted inquiry, which has been conducted by the Government throughout in the most rigid and searching manner, was announced at Chatham yesterday. It is satisfactory to find that none of the officials connected with Chatham dockyard were in the remotest degree connected with the illegal proceedings, and were in no respect implicated with the movements of that vessel after she had ceased to be a Government ship. It has been ascertained, however, thet certain offi ials at Sheerness dockyard have been guilty of a gross neglect of duty, and at the same time have committed an unwarrant able violation of the neutrality laws. The Government have accordingly decided on prosecuting the principal offender, who, as already reported in The Sun, is one of the chief offi cers in the dockyard, for the leading part it has been ascer tained he took in the equipment and subsequent departure of the Rappahannock from the Nore. Accordingly Mr. Knight, of the firm of Essell, Knight, and Arnold, solici tors, Rochester, the agents of the Solicitor to the Treasury, yesterday applied to the magistrates for a warrant for the apprehension of Mr Wm. Rumble, principal engineer and inspector of machinery afloat, who is charged with a viola ' Lion of the Foreign Enlistment Act (59 Geo. 111., cap. 69), hiring, and attempting to hire, certain seamen for the Con federate steamship Rappahannock; and also for assisting and aiding in equipping that vessel. The warrants were granted and at once executed, the accused being taken into custody, but afterwards liberated on heavy bail. No pro ceedings have yet been ordered against any of the other officials, nor against the Government pilot who piloted the Rappahannock from the Nore. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed that, with the view of distinguishing th 3 ammunition of rifled guns from that for smooth-bore guns at night on hoiard her Majesty's ships, the handles of the leather cartridge-cases used with rifled guns for naval service are to have a seizing on them. Ore Thursday 50 convicts were removed from the convict prison at Chatham to the Nore by the Wildfire, paddle wheel vessel employed, in Sheerness harbour, for embarca tion on board the Clara, convict ship, waiting at the Nore toconveythemtoßermuda, where they will be employed on Government works.

You 11 111t1 also be astonished, as I am, to see at so short an in terval men hardly escaped from shipwreck summon once more the winds and tempests to their aid. GAI protects France too visibly to permit the genius of evil again to appear to trouble her. The circle of our Constitution has been widely traced; every honest man can move within it at his ease, for each has the opportunity of expressing his ideas, of controlling the acts of the Government, and of ta.kinp, his just part in public affairs. Exclusion no longer exists. Theclergy, as you have justly observed, h as not only the liberty of occupying itself with religious quo. tions, but its most eminent chiefs find their legiti mate place in the first body of the State. "It is therefore with pleasure that I shall see the high dignity which has be©n conferred upon you give you access to the senate. You will bring to it, I doubt not, that spirit of conciliation which does not separate the cause of religion from that of coun try—that spirit of toleration which attracte and persuades ; finally, that love of country which un ceasingly tends to draw together those whom diver gence of opinion alienates. 8, GREAT WINDNI LL- STR Ed ET.

The increase in the Mediterranean trade during the last ten years. as shown by the official returns, amounts to £3,000,000, to which the Italian, Greek, and Adrlati3 ports have very largely contributed. In order to meet this increase of trade, more steam tonnage from London has become a matter of urgent necessity, the preference by merchants for steam over sailing conveyance for their goods being such, that the Directors have no hesitation in stating that nearly the whole trade to and from the Mediterranean will shortly be carried by screw steamers. It is calculated that at least 100,000 tons of fine goods are annually exported from London to Italy and Greece, while upwards of 200,000 tons are an nually imported. The Directors, in resolving to establish this Company, are further encouraged by the facts—that two lines of screw steamers have for some years been engaged with most suc cessful results in the trade between Liverpool and the Itali in ports—that the leading merchants in London, interested in the Italian trade, have constant!, urged the organisation of the lines now proposed; and many of the merchants in Italy and Greece, in order to show their confidence in the success of tl.e enterprise, have offered to contribute towards the capital required, and otherwise to support the Company in every possible way. The objects, therefore, of this Company are the establish ment— let. Ot a line of Screw Steamers between London and the ports of Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Messina, and Palermo, to sail with undeviating regularity at intervals of not lees than ten days ; and 2d. Of lines suited to the requirements of the trade between London, Greek, Adriatic, and other ports in the Mediter ranean. In order that the operations of the Company may be com menced without delay, the Directors have provisionally en tered into an arrangement with the Directors of an existing line to take over their four new steamers, viz., the Alexandra, Clotilda, Italia, and Venetia, and valuable connexion in the Italian trade, by which the shareholders w 11 enter imme diately into a profitable business ; the price to he agreed upon by arbitration, and to be accepted in shares of Vie Company. These steamers have been expressly built for the trade, are of 000 tons builders' measurement, and the engines of 120- horse power, are by Messrs. Ilaudslay, Son, and Field. Or ders will be at once given for the construction of the neces sary additional steamers. Calls will not exceed .£5 per share, nor will they be made at less intervals than three months. To the extent of .e? 5 per share Shareholders will be entitled to anticipate future calls, receiving interest on such pre-payments at the rate of 5 per ce per annum. Shduld no allotment take plate, the whole deposit will be returned free of deduction. No promotion moneTcWother outlay beyond the necessary expenses incurred in the fuimation and establishment of the Company will be paid.

The iron-cased screw steam frigate Prince Consort, 35, Capt. George 0. Willie, at Davenport, which was pit into permanent commission for the first time on Thursday, will have a complement of 6CO officers and men, of whom 65 will consist of Royal Marines--viz., two sergeants, two corporals, a bugler, and b 9 privates, under command of Capt. Meheux and First Lieut. Younghueband. It will be recollected that the Prince Consort left Plymouth on the 28th October last for Liverpool, and having encountered se vere weather, put into Kingstown on the 31st. Tn St. George's Channel during the storm she rolled excessively and suffered much from the quantity of water retained on board. To re medy this defect some alterations have been made in her scuppers. The combings of the hatchways both on the upper and main decks have also been raised from 101 to 19 inches• Although the Prince Consort lay only in the comparatively quiet waters of Haraetize from the period of her completion to last October, and was then but a few days absent, the effects of galvanic action upon her iron plates, produced by the proximity of the Muntz's metal below, had become mani fest. By the advice of Mr. Reed, Chief Constructor of the Navy, and of Mr. Hay, Admiralty chemist, the Prince Con sort has now been furnished with a band of zinc all round, between the copper and iron, to protect the latter from in jury, and, like the Royal Oak, she is supplied with rubbing pieces on her load line, to sheath the iron casing from the friction of boats or anything else floating alongside. The screw steamship Royal George, 78, was warped on Thursday from the sheer hulk in liarnodze to the north jetty in Devonport dockyard, for the purpose of being rigged and prepared for a commission, in place of the screw steam coast• guard ship Ajax, 60, Capt.

Her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Master Comman sywilettnerg at Greenhithe for the day left the river on her adjustment d e e f n h , er having compasses, been way to Gibraltar and Malta, ltden with victualling and dockyard stores from Deptford and Woolwich. esteam Mondays loop Hecate, Capt. Richards, nn T de h r e or p d a e d r di s e to w p h a e y el next in the outer basin, at Woolwich, has been dismantled and partially cleared of her stores and fitment. Her masts, made at Portsmouth in August, 1850, were yesterday examined and proved to be unfit for future service. The officers and men, of whom there are 126, have been exceedingly healthy during the seven years which they have served in the Plumper and Hecate.

Meglia then handed to the Emperor the Papal brief which appointed him Apostolic Ablegate for the presentation of the hat. The Emperor said a few words in reply, and then all the company, in cluding the Empress and her suite, proceeded to the chapel of the palace. After mass Cardinal Bonne chose made his appearance in his cardinal's dress, and knelt upon a velvet cushion in front of the Em peror. His Majesty then placed the hat on the Cardi nal's head,and the master of the ceremonies hung the crimson mantle upon his shoulders. The Cardinal then rose, took off his hat, saluted the Emperor,and returned to his place. The company now proceeded to the so called " Salon du Premier Consul," where the new Cardinal made the following addresses to the Emperor and to the Empress : To HIS MAJESTY TILE EMPEROR. Sire,—Your Majesty will not be astonished at the emotion which I now feel. I could not remain insensible to the marks of benevolence which you have shown towards me during the lest 15 years, and God is my witness that I have responded to them by a sincere devotion. But to-day this purple which, to my confusion,l have on, this eminent dignity which the Holy Father has deigned to confer upon me, are they not, Sire, on your part, a now proof of esteem and confidence—l almost venture to say of affection—which exceeds all those which your Majesty has hitherto honoured me with f I cannot express what I feel. But this satis faction of the heart is not without au alloy, and I am anxious respecting how I shall fulfil the now duties imposed upon me. Your Catholic faith, Sire, and your filial attachment to the Church have opened the Senate of the Empire to the cardinals. Your high intelligence has never separated -in its Christian views social and political interests from senii- I menis of religion, which are their most solid basis and safest guarantee. You therefore wished that in this august As seuiLly, where sit the highest representatives of the military and civil hierarchy, the Church should also be represented by its highest dignitaries. Such, Sire, is the cause of my anxiety. The more we love and respect the cause we support the more do we fear to compromise it. And what eanses can be so great, so noble, so holy as those of religion and patriotism ? To those sacred interests I have devoted my whole life. I could not under stand how to separate them, and when unfortunate circura sten, es, arising from the clash of human passions, tend to bring them into opposition, it is our duty as well as our heart's wish to exert ourselves to reconcile them. This is what I have always endeavoured to do during my career. Educated and brought up in civil society, for many years I studied its laws and their application, and I have been en abled to appreciate its real wants and its generous aspira tions as well as its errors and its dangers. Devoted later to the more immediate service of God in the Church, in the propagation of his Gospel, in the rule of Christian justice and charity in the souls of men, whilst endeavouring to ac complish that sublime mission I never denied my origin ; and oft times the Bishop has been happy to find at his ser vice for the government of ecclesiastical men and things the remembrances and inspirations of the magistrate. Resolved to live and die for the Church, I am, therefore, equally resolved to live and die for France, for that beloved land which gave me birth, to which, after God; I am in debted for everything, and to which I am linked by my most tender and deepest affections. But we have seen this France, 15 years ago, struggling in the grasp of anarchy ; we have heard its cries of distress, and we shuidered at the sight of the abyss into which the blindness of party passion was about to plunge it, when God brought you forward, Sire, to save it. The suffrages of a whole people hailed you and proclaimed you. The pontiffs and the holy tribe, as every class of citizens, saluted you as the Elect of God and of the nation, the Prince who has since re-opened the gates of the Holy City to the Vicar of Jesus Christ, and who still defends it against the parri cidal mancouvres of ungrateful and rebellious children; the Prince through whom France, after three centuries, has refound her ceirerks; the Prince who has restored tran quillity at home anti glory abroad ; the Prince, finally, who, a hen the universe is troubled at the sight of human blood shed which inundates it, at the noise and threat of war arising from every side, remains calm and serene even in the midst of sinister conspiracies, and offers peace to the world by the proposal of a Congress to settle its disputes. With such features, Sire, who can fail to recognize, at the same time, your Providential mission and the duty of us all to give you the loyal support of our will and strength ? Others can describe better than we your indefatigable activity for the welfare of the State, the vast glance of your intelligence, your decision of character, your patience, and that goodness of heart which renders you sensible to the afflictions of the most humble of your subjects, and which gives you satisfaction in wiping away a tear or in prevent ing misery. But what we might pourtray perhaps better than others is that quality so rare in men whom God has elevated to supreme power, that love of truth which makes you seek for it in every path, which submits to contradiction, and which, by a marked benevolence, encourages free speech and frank ness to flattery. May your life be a long one, Sire, for the prosperity and glory of France. May the Almighty, who has already pre served you from so many attempts against your person, deign always to cover you with His protection, and enlighten your mind more and more, by giving it the necessary strength to govern the vast empire entrusted to you in accordance with the law I May its most precious blessings be showered upon your Majesty, upon your august spouse, and upon the Prince Imperial, the hope of future generations, The Cardinal then addressed her Majesty the Empress as follows:-- It gives me pleasure to inaugurate this sacred purple by offering my homage to the mother of the young Prince who amid so many glorious titles, possesses that of spiritual son of the Pontiff, the successor of the Prince of the Apostles. This prerogative, a mighty guarantee of the benedictions which have consecrated the Imperial dynasty, also includes your Majesty, and adds a marked feature to your destiny, which is so intimately bound up with the destinies of France. It is pleasing to contemplate in the midst of the compli. cations of our epoch that mission so imbued V 1 ith serenity and grace which Providence has deigned to entrust to you. In, fact, though the thunder may peal around the Holy See, spreading terror and sorrow in all Catholic hearts—though a fratricidal war devastates the New World and causes sad want amongst our country population, which it deprives of work—your Majesty, by the energy of your faith, and by your sympathising charity, soothes the wounded heart, ba nishes sorrow, and rekindles hope. It was thus that in past times many illustrious Princesses displayed their noble qualities upon the throne of France, and we are happy to see the reproduction of such noble examples, We feel that, as The Discussion on the Address in the Legislative Body. The discussion in the Legislative Body on the Address does not appear to the Debats to improve in tone or to hold out a model for the debates of a great political assembly ; on the contrary, our con temporary conceives that the debate on the system of official candidates pursues its way with a vivacity which seems to increase and become more and more envenomed :—" The contest," it observes, "which hat arisen between M. Segris and M. Ernest Picard has been renewed with a still more lamentable warmth and virulence between the Opposition and Government speakers. The fact must be admitted that the question at the present moment discussed is assuredly the most irritating of all those raised by the Address, as it touches directly on the origin of the Assembly, the basis of its powers, and the source of the authority w hich it holds from the country. The Chamber is thus placed in a hazer ' dons situation, in which political passions must meet and provoke each other, and become embittered by the inevitable complications of private grievances and personal susceptibilities. There is hardly room for astonishment, although the fact most not be the less regretted, that the discussion should have become a sort of tilting-match, a furious tnaec in which the Opposition and the majority are engaged in a contest of reciprocal accusations, bitter re criminations, and violent reprisals. What is especially to be regretted is the kind of antagonism wiriesle the twcr-cittings knms cansed-Us break . oat between the Paris and the provincial represen tatives, between the deputies from the towns and the deputies from the rural districts. We shall Ab stain from taking part in this violent collision of personal recriminations, in which we should have perhaps to censure digressions more or less cb;;.c tionable, and manifestations of anger more or less excusable. These tumultuous incidents, which to us are only a sad departure from t he order of the clay, will not cause us to lose sight of the grave question of principle and constitutional right which we have already recommended to all the solicitude and to all the patriotism of the Chamber. The amendment which is at the present moment under discussion has set forth the question in terms, the precision and. measure of which appears to us to represent exactly the just grievances and the legitimate de sires of the Liberal party." The same journal has some observations on the double system of tactics which the Opposition had to select from in its con duct on the Address. They might, the writer re marks, have endeavoured in their private meetings to come to an agreement, by means of mutual con cessions, on all the points of the home or foreign policy, and to confine themselves to presenting in face of the document prepared by the committee a sort of programme containing only general views ; or they could have brought forward, en the prin cipal paragraphs of the Address, separate amend ments not implying any absolute unity of views : " It was this latter system," says the Debats, " which they decided on adopting. In consequence of this manner of proceeding, we shall see divergences of opinion take place in the Liberal party upon more questions than one. We do not regret that fact. If there is a loss of unity, there must be an increase in the sincerity of the discussion, and the Opposition thus gives a fresh proof of its fair dealing. Besides, public opinion at the presesit moment demands, above all, that fair and full discussions shall take place on those subjects which are of a nature to enlighten the Government and the country ; the nation appears to us to be indifferent as to the choice of means employed in addressing it (the nation), provided that useful truths are enunciated as often as possible. We should, however, have suffered a feeling of regret if the deputies of the Opposition, while declaring the points upon which they intend to maintain their liberty of judgment, had neglected to mark the common tendencies by which they were united. It was their duty to show that, if they sometimes followed different paths, they are all tending to the same point—the unin terrupted development of liberty. We have thus seen with extreme satisfaction all shades of libe ral ;opinion support the amendment directed against the law of general safety, and the QX ceptional measure by which it is surrounded.' " Disastrous Explosion of Gunpowder at 'Liverpool. LivEßrooL, Jan. 16. A fearful explosion took place here at abent 20 minutes pest seven this evening, caused by the blowing up in the river of a large ship heavily laden with gunpowder. The gas is extinguished, end enormous quantities of broken glass cucumber the streets from the river to beyond the Town-hall. The neighbovrhood is in almost total darkness. The amount of damage done and the number of lives lost is, of course, at present unknown. 10 P.M. The vessel which was blown tip by gunnowder in the river a little after iwv: , :u o'clock tt - !6 cverirg was the barque Lottie Lee. She had been taking in gunpowder for the West Coast of Africa about Woodside, and caught fire early in the ercoing. After burning some time the fire rer:ched the powder, and a fearful explosion ensued. No lives are believed to have bcea lost, the men engaged having left the ship before the explosion occurred. The damage done to plato•gl es3 for miles around the town is enormous , and the event is cawing the greatest consternation. No injury is reported to the shipping.
