The heads of departments in -Woolwich Arsenal have been in constant attendance at the War-office, in London, during the week, for the purpose of furnishing information with regard to a settlement of the estimates to be presented for the forthcoming year. According to an official announce ment circulated in the Arsenal yesterday, the Marquis of Hartington, Under Secretary of State for war, will again visit the Arsenal this morning, and go over the different branches of the establishment in order to make himself thoroughly acquainted with the stores now in reserve, of which there is a greater amount than at any former period. Orders were yesterday received Ly Col. T. Lemon, C. 8., Commandant of the Chatham division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, directing Capt. T. H. A. Brenan, Second- Lieut. S. R. Lewis, two sergeants, two corporals, two drum mers, and 72 privates, with a proportionate number of Royal Marine Artillery, from Portsmouth, to embark this day on board the screw-liner Conqueror, 78, Capt. W. G. Luard, for service in Japan. The four huge Blakeley guns brought to Woolwich from the Lowmoor Works for Government proof, were ordered to be transported to the proof butt yesterday. On account of the unusual weight of the guns (20 tons each), an acci dent occurred which will necessarily delay the proof for some short time. They are said to be intended for the Rus sian Government. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Robert H. Harris and Lieut. Lawrence A. Bell, to the Edgar ; Lieut.

A special meeting of this board was held yesterday at the office, Spring-gardens. Mr. THWAITES presided. NEW MEMBER. Alderman Finnis took his seat at the board as one of the representatives of the Corporation of London in place of the Lord Mayor. THAMES EMBANKMENT. The Board then proceeded to discuss the subject for which 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 be 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 moved 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 bo 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 bo 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, wby 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. SA.MUDA. 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 wera 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. Dermer spoke against, and Mr. Saunders, Mr. Roche, Mr. Savage, and Mr. Nieholay in favour of the clause. The Chairman then put the motion, and there appeared— For the motion lO Against Majority against the motion The motion was accordingly negatived, and the Board adjourned. The Late Thames Embankment Scandal. DECISION OF THE METROPOLI FAN 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 de c i s i on 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 th a t a l t h ough the contrac t o f Mr G. Furness at £520,000 was so much higher than those of Mr Kidley, Messrs Bak er an d C o., and Mr Moxon, an d 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 p o i nt in the engineer's favour, as s howing there was no collusion between him and the contractor whose contract had been accepted, although the fact could not be disputed of Mrl3azalgette 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 zommittee 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 b e t ween M r . B aza l get t e an d M r . F urness with respect to that contract. They recommend the board to call the engineer's attention to the terms of his agree ment, and th a t i n future the whole of his time and ener gies be devoted to th e b oard, and that he at once un hesitatingly give up a ll claims under the agreement, which it was felt he had i mproperly entered into. Mr. Bazalgette having voluntarily handed in a guarantee in writing to carry out the suggestion made i n th e last paragraph of the amendment, the motion was carried by 11 to 9.

The Iron Frigate Northumberland. 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 in 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 result has been much the same as has been experienced in the French vessels, and only the new Warriors remain to be experimented upon at sea. Three of these 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. 31in. ; 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. 42in. 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 —so 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 shin. 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 their 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, thi c kness, and unyielding strength. Looking only at the ribs, however, with out these intersecti ons , th e y form an immense wrought iron bow, 4ft. thi c k 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. curving ke o e r ls s e o n :m an p d ort f a e n rin t t s o in t g h le e Strong g rk as the longitugdinals which are placed on ea a c a end to fifa framework rhnedani 0 side tcloselysaooofstttPrhaoecnk e d , h o v v e v e r , as these ribs with the curve of her lines, making, in fact, one st n id e pi massive girders, s p eak, eoe orrunning girder from o f t he end of the shi p, and all convergingth e bow s and stern, and frame.

The height from the floor to the lower deck beams is 21ft., from lower deck to ma in deck 9 ft . 2in., _ andfrom main deck to upper 7ft. tin. clear. Outside the ribs we have described, but insi' • de the armour, is the skin of the ship of wrought-iron plates, and outside all is the armour, composed of gin. of solid teak beatos and 5 1in. of rolled plates usual manner with bolts to fastened through i n the the inner skin. Along both sides of the ship, almost from the floor to the ma in deck, run what are called wing passages, 3 ft. oiu. wide, and the height of the decks with which they correspond. These wing passages are shut off from the body of the vessel by wrought iron bulkheads, inside which, and below the water line, 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 watertigo compartments, and their use is to enable men to get at A leak, in case of a shot entering, or, in case of a fractureJ plate, to confine the leakage of the compartment in which it originates. The iron sides of the N o rthumberlana have a slope inward of 2ft., an incline of aboui one foot in ten. The bows are formed in outline HILO the curve of a swan's breast, the breast, or beak of the part to be used as a ram projecting under wa t er 61ft. beyond th e apparent bows above. The stern is quite round, and at both bows and stern the armour plates are gradually lessened off from 51in, to qin. is thickness. This reduction of their solidity is partly to lighten the stein and stern as much as possible, and is partly necessitated b y i the extreme difficulty of bending 51-in. pl a t es t o Peculiar forms req uired at these portions the of the hull.

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. lees 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 full 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 ones. 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 Lis 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 diffieult 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, similar to those 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 wtt y. This steel gun of Krupp's, about which so muc h 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-assistant 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, and, 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 51t. band of these plates extending round her at the water-line, and cutting off the connexion which would otherwise exist between the ar mour-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 Vie 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 and destroyed, so far as their holding powers are concerned, but the action of the copper 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 aro 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. Herlihy, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral of the Red Sydney Colpoys Decree, 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.

Upon the time-honoured principle audi alteram partens we readily give insertion to the following amusing and graphic account of the recent visit of King Victor Emmanuel to Naples, taken under date 14th Nov., 1863, from the Memorial Diplo matique : Victor Emmanuel arrived at Naples on Wednesday, the 11th instant, at noon. 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 de Carignan, the Pre fect, 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 Den'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 pool 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 so joking. On every side arose mocking cries, "All is over I Rome has fallen into the sea. Victor E.nmanuel has missed Rome, 'tis not the first miss he has made of it;" and other jokes which amused me very much, being accompanied by those gestures which are 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'ltalia." The result was that on all sides one heard that Victor Emmanuel 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 i rr epressible 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 frascheur of their toilette. Having reached the palace, the King aP peered for a moment on the balcony. The troops were then to have marched past, but the instant the King present ed himself the rain, which had ceased fo r a few minu tes el u res w en h t il, d e m the cortege was passing down the Rue de re commenced with such violence that Victor E m manuel, had been carried apparently thinking the -Ispekection did not take too far, retired, and th joke i place. Some ragamu ffins crossed th e square, cryi h ng . , h ' To Rome Ito Venice I ' But the King was changing sirt, and the mounted g endarmes dispersed the crew. At San Carlo it was found impossible to get up an opera. They sang a cantata of Verdi's, in honour of England, and having nothing whatever to do with the King's arrival at Naples. It seemed a s if the spectacle were in arrival of Mr. Elliott, the British tu Minister. Apropos of Mr. Elliot, you must know that the yettara has pursued the Ministers as well as the King himself. who accompanied the sing, The Prussian, Turkish, Russian, and English Ministers, as well as the First Secretary of the French Legation, have followed Victor Einraanuel everywhere.

Ido not know how Mr. Elliot will be able to affirm a ge no longer exists, and that the roads ar e o perfectly safe, w hen he arms himself cap-a-pie to make a journey with the Tong in the midst of an army. Let ug retu return to e evening.N aple s There was to have been a grand illumination in h The rain having ceased for som e hours, t he lights began to give sign of life. But 10, they had placed a bust of Victor Emmanuel on a sort of Altar in front of the Ministerial Palace, in the Rue de Toledo, and lighted eandles all round it. In addition, immense wax torches were lighted in each balcony, and the crowd were presently bathed in showers of hot wax. It was a compensation for the ducking of the morning. Briefly, it was not pretty, but then it was very funereal. At half-past nine the attendants charged with the management of this illumination after the fashion of Pere La Chaise, came, and economically extinguished the can dles. Then the crowd hissed, yelled, screamed and hurled execrations at these unhappy creatures who hereby exceeded the orders they had received, and who retired amid a shower of abuse. At 11 o'clock a torrent of rain extinguished the lamps, which still zealously burned. The object of Victor Emmanuel's voyage was to review the fleet. It is the same case, at present, with the review as with the marching past. On Thursday, at 9 o'clock ix the morning, the Admiral ordered the fleet, then anchored at Baja, to proceed to Naples. Large placards had invited the whole population to witness the review which was about to take place. At one o'clock half the fleet arrived. The weather was so bad it had been found impossible for the smallership s to leave the Gulf of Baja. No matter, the review must be ,, held. The admiral ordered the ships to be go t into Isihnoeroet. battle. The whole population had assembled:on the aulf of At half-past one, a furious gale swept over the to be- Naples, the rain came on again, the sea w" t e r rible d the review hold.

They expect war to come with the spring, and he i 'e to see them, elves called upon to decide .the destinies o f Europe." From the same journal, the Memoriat Diploma- ~~ a~~~ tique, we also take the following :—" At the mo ment when the journals of Turin give each other the cue for vehement descriptions of the livrely en thusiasm with which King Victor Emmanuel has been received in the south of Italy, it is curicras to observe that the city of Naples has sent an Ad dress to congratulate King Francis the Second on his birthday, bearing no less than 27,108 signa tures, This is a prodigious number, if we remembe r that the law of the suspected is put is force with the intensest rigour on the slightest grounds irr. Naples, and that the police wore obliged to take strong measures to make sure of that enthusiastic reception of the King which has thrown the Pied montese journals into such transports of joy. The Neapolitan address expresses the mast profound sentiments of devotion and fidelity to the noble and unfortunate King. The following is its tenour : Sire,—To -day is the third anniversary of your Majesty's birthday which the Neapolitan people pass far away f rom you in the misery and bitterness of a foreign tyranny. If it had pleased Providence to he ar our prayers, we should have gone to-day to salute your Majesty, wearing your kingly diadem, and seated on the glorious throne of Charles the Third, whereas our hopes and prayers must reach your. Majesty in the land of exile, where your lot has been cast by the injustice of the world and the ingratitude of man. But, Sire, the time of trial which it remains to endure will be short, for God has indicated the en d of an unholy triumph, and our hearts tell us the hour of your return. draws near, Accept, then, Sire,the ardent hopes and sincere wishes of your faithful subjects, receive them as a pledge of that cry' of joy which will rise from the heart of the entire nation on the day when you shall return among us, accompanied by her who has shared all your perils, and is your Angel of Consolation in a stranger land. This act of duty which we accomplish in the midst of the tears of a people, the suspicions of an abhorred Government, and the torments of honest men, we shall fulfil on a happier day, when justice, peace, and true liberty shall be united by an indissoluble bond.

Sir anal food Denison embarked at Sydney for the express pur pose of visiting the islanders, taking with him a quantity of things which he thought might be useful to them, His arrival was very opportune, for they were without flour or vegetables, except unripe pota toes. He induced a merchant at New Zealand for 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 he bad drawn up, which were substantially the same as those he found in force there, as he did nog:, consider himself to be a good judge of what was nest suited tar a state of society which had nothing analogous to it in the rest of the world. By these regulations, the government 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 the 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 these previously exist ing. As a contrast to the innumerable laws in cluded in our statute-books, the simplicity of their code is the mote striking. In cases of dispute, the, chief magistrate endeavours to bring the parties to an agreement; hut 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 all 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 ttsn 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 aro 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 e public amount o t be works.
