The ships will be butt under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan-late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting En, ineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th a Company. The success which has attended the formation of well managed steam companies has been very marked. That of Cunard and Inman Company is well known. Ihe Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares4so paid, ars sell ing at £7B per share, has out -4 profits given to its share hclders new paid-up shares exceeding the any , unt of the ori ginal capital, and pays it regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owi,ers, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much smAler than those this Ccmpa..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, , han those which have proved so I emunerative to severt:i, well known private firma engaged in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of tae experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, to ensure profitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient ho, se-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en aimed undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stock companies, which may embrace the co-operation or shippers and of others interested, instead of by private capital•sts as heretofore; the result being thtt the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the profits which they assist to earn. Applications fbr shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Company, or at the offices of the Brokers and Solicitors, but no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid. r !

Scott did; perhaps George Elliott has done ; but we doubt if there is a third name. In the earlier writers of all, in the "Beaux's Stratagem," the "Relapse," and so on, the intention was to do harm. These, therefore, may be dismissed from consideration. But take three famous English classics—Richard son, Fielding, and Smollett : how, we should like to know, have they served the cause: of virtue? Richardson's efforts in that direction, good enougL in conception, were wholly neutralised by the execution. To impress upon maid servants, governesses, and lady's maids, the worldly advan 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. But readers of " Pamela" and " Clarissa Harlow" will understand what we mean when we say that the realism of Richard son,s descriptions of the trials through which they pass would do far more by inflaming the passions than the plot could do harm good by convincing the reason.

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 defy 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 'some time, and is now being cleared down preparatory: to receiving' the final coating of paint. In this portion of the Achiliee the armour-plating. as ex, tended to her ,upper deck, which, spin, is plated with iron yeeying from 5-19ths to 5-Bths of aninch in thiekneae a to protect the gunners on the maindeck from the effects Of she/land molten metal. The miel e ship's battery is pritecited at the stein and stern by armour-plated bulieheads, rendering, the central portion of themaih deck to till intents a shat and shell proof - hattarn the guns in which may still be riaployed long eifter those on the other psrtsof the, Main deck havepeNeeiilenced. e l3eyoed the armour - 'plated bpheade the sta-inch l armour-platinelis not carried any fifeher than,the main deck &ors: With the eseception 'of sodor2o plates tte,,be 'fiteecl •to the countef and buttbek of- the" fern` portion 4if the the entire pia:l:Lig is cote This uln a iieark e L: - Eiesever, jalioceealeabut triereelyein consequence of the extreme nicety requirel—first in cutting the slabs of iron to the exact shape 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 mach ss pos ,,ible, the tendency to roll, which, more or less, characterises the whale of our iron ships, the Achilles has been built flitter on the floor than was the case with the Warrior and Black Prince. In addition, she has been furnished with t ovo 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 oceupied 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 being ready by the time specified, the - Warrior did not leave the Thames until the month of Ostober, 1861. She then pro ceeded to Portsmouth, where she remained a consi derable time before being finally ready for sea; thus only a few months short of three years were em ployed in her construction and equipment for seta In the case of the Achilles the order to begin to build the vessel together with the sheer draught, arrived at Chatham Dockyard from the Admiralty, on the 19th of April, 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, &c e for carryi n g o n the construction of an iron ves sel of vast size, the first of the kind ever attempted at either of the Royal dockyards. Within about a month, however, after the commencement of the Achilles —namely, on the 30th May, 1861—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 O a k , which was completed and launched in little more than a year from being commenced and despatched to 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 been out of hand and des patched to sea at least 12 months since. The first armour-plate was fi xe d on the broadside of the Achilles on the sth of February last, so that in little more than eight mont h s 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 2001 t. along each broadside, leaving nearly double the number of plates to be bolted to the ex terior of th e Achilles to those placed on the sides of the Warrior. Taking into consideration the superior quality of the wo r k 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, the_Orlando, and other fine frigates or their day. An announcement has been received from Messrs. Penn and Sees that the whole of the machinery for the Achilles will be ready by the middle of December. , CIT Yesterday the War Dopartment transio, op ts Marl borough and Petrel went alongside th o o loo d_n n a;" - wharf at Chatham, and co m m enleerd withu thdei Aria Armstrong and other guns, toget of capt. shot from the strong and other descriptioos A.

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 prevent his wife with a carte de visite of himself. For this purpose he went into a photographic establishment in Liverpool, where he found a young woman, named Elizabeth Hood, waiting to have her likeness also taken. Miss Hood's p . e . ri' aonal attractions at once struck the captain, who engageL l : conversation with her, and represented that he was an married man.

At the third attempt they left the post, widely spread across the course, the colours scarcely discernible through the heavy storm that raged. As nearly as we could make out, after they had run to the Ditch Gap, New York took a clear lead on:the extreme right, followed by Washington, Sheridan, and Attraction; then came, in the ce❑tre, Echo, Lady Bohun, Guerilla, and Rouge Crosse, who headed the next lot, the rear being brought up by The Beadle, Royston, and Prince Arthur.

Are expurgated editions wise, or are they foolish For our own parts, and putting aside the strong feeling which often prevails on the subject, we do not believe that the affirmative theory will hold water for one moment. Boys never realise to lithem selves ancient life sufficiently to make th e worst pass ages of the classics anyth g in e g ne rbutal, mere have dry e bones. Delineatio ns of vice, in 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 Juvenal 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, rnutatis 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 P , What realisable state of society does the " Favorita' represent to her? Is it not all a so rt of nephelo coccyllia—or, to say the least of it — as strange and uncongenial a picture of society as life among the Eiquimaux or the inhabita nts of Ti ra buctoo, from w h ose ma nners and morals it is im p ossible she should reason to her own ? If w e add to this the accessories by which operatic stor ies are accompanied, we shall see that the deodor on of . them • The music and singing aii dancing is complete round off the dissi militude between them and real life. No great actor o r actress who asp ired to a high reputation in pure impersonationart would dream of appearing in an opera. Th e of c haracter, the holdi ng up of the mirror to nature, is there impossible.
