Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the preeresm of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Steam Trade of Liverpool. In the year 1852 the tonnage of ford= steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while 10 1862 it was 595,339, which, in the year CO dine; June, 18,13, increased to 756,120 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel bad been introduced, steamers could be employed with advantage only for the carrying of mails and passengers, but latterly, owing to the improve ments in marine engines, economy of fuel and space has been effected, thereby greatly reducing the working expenses, and screw steamers have not only bean employed in all the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their cwners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to fhippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced Salting vessels. For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer.can trade screw steamers lutve taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of fine goods and passengers. Other descriptions of goods and a large number of intermediate and steerage passengers being Still conveyed by sailing vessels. In the important branches of the American import trade, sust , those of grain, flour, and provisi ons, th e loss annually ained by heati ng during the protr .cted voyages fre queratly made by sailing vessels is so great, that the interest of all engaged in these trades will be enlisted in favour of any scheme for the heretoexension of steam shipping to include such freight, and nbe no doubt but that the whole of -the enormous trade in these articles, which in Liverpool alone amounts annually to 750,000 tons, will fa:l entirely into the hands of steam companies. Yorke first object o f thi s C ompany is to place on the New station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able to carry almoat, if not quite, as cheap as sailing vessels, whilst at the same time, from the regularity of their passages, they will command a full share of the steam trade, and the Directors also intend sending steamers to the American Cottorta 'when the war is brought to an end and the Cottonsopened, and have also under their consideration the Want of the Brazil and othertrades. Ins rganising this Company the Directors believe that it Will tint enter into undue competition with the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carryinsr the mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. The Inman Line has no tubsidY, but nevertheless has been Most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having' com menced its op era ti ons with two steamers, the City of lilasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the " Inman Line are, however, of greater proportionate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sidled at much Jess cost, and will be constructed to consume a comparatively small amount of coal; at the same time of such capacity that, in addition to a large cargo of merchan dise and p assengers, they will be able to carry sufficient foe for their voyages both out and home, and so avoid the ex pense and delay incurred by coaling abroad. In order that the objects of this Company may not be even partially anticipated, and that the stations may at once be occupied, provisional arrangements have been made whereby three new steamers, of the description indicated, and in all respects suitable for the service, have been secured, and con tracts have been entered into for the building of others of about 3,500 tons each, and it is proposed to commence with a fort nightly service each way, to be increased to weekly sailings as soon as the vessels can be got ready. The ports of depar ture shall be Liverpool for the weekly line, and London to the extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be built under the inspection of Mr. John Jordan —late Chief Surveyor to the Underwriter's Registry of Iron Ships,—whose services as Inspecting Engineer and Naval Architect the Directors have secured to th ft 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. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,Zso paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out id profits given to its share holders new paid-up shares exceeding the amount of the ori ginal capital, and pays a regular dividend of 10 per cent. on the increased issue, carrying over at each annual meeting an almost equal sum, while many private steamship owners, with similar descriptions of vessels, but much smsller than those this Cempa.ty 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, than those which have proved so i emunerative to severa well known private firms end saes in the Mediterranean and other trades, and have thus the advantage of the experience so acquired, which proves that what is needed, under efficient management, t, ensure orofitable results, are large ships, with moderate but sufficient hot se-power and great carrying capacity. The introduction of the limited liability principle has en abled undertakings of great magnitude like the present to be carried out by joint-stork companies, which may embrace the co-operation dt shippers and of others interested, instead of by private capitabsta as heretofore; the result being that the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, and participate in the p ro fi ts which they assist to earn. A pplications for 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 HO application will be considered unless a deposit of Ll per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid. r33O,_RAI OF APPLICATION FOR SHAR ES.

The Committee r,st their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only the birthplace of Shakspeare, but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his home, the town he loved, and where he lived and died. The Accident to the Ship Sebastian Cabot. An inquiry, ordered by the Board of Trade, into the circumstances attending the accident to this ves sel, was opened before Mr. Raffles, the stipendiary magistrate, and Captains Harris and Baker, nauti cal assessors, at the Liverpool Police -court, on Tues day. The Sebastian Cabot was a fine vessel of 893 tons register, built at Workington, in 1854, and classed A lat Lloyds for 14 years. She left the East India Docks, London, on the 24th of Septem ber, for a voyage to Bombay, under the command of Mr. Joseph Hopkinson, and with a crew et 24 men and four appre:ltices, together with 1100 tons of general cargo. Everything went well until the 7 th of October, although very severe weather was encountered. On this day the mate was lett in al m'At exclusive charge of the ship, although the starboard well chain, stanchion, and the steering ap paratus were broken. The master remained in his cabin, and when told of the accident coolly re marked, " Well, all we can do is to put into the n earest port," an d di d not bestir himself in a man ner which th e occasion demanded. The ship was about 34 miles west of the Scilly Isles, and the mate tried to make Falmouth, but was compelled to stand to sea, owing to the adverse state of the weather. The ves se l sprang a leak soon after this, and signals of dist ress Were exhibited. A vessel, called the Archipela go , took the Sebastian Cabot in tow, but did more ha rm than good, and her captain, i t i s said, endea voured to incite the crew of the Sebastian Cabot to muti ny and desertion. During the 14th, 15th, and 16th, the vessel drifted towards thelrish coast, alid, on the 1 7th, the 'nate endeavoured to land,. but could not do so; and he and his boat' s crw were picked up b y a German barque, and taken to Waterford. Ultimately the Sebastian Cabot was picked up by a Limerick steamer, and towed into port, and Was finally brought to Liver pool and docked by the brigs Rattler and Rescue. It is alleged that when the vessel was beating off Falmouththe captain said, in a nswer to the mate's interrogation how the course of th e s hi p was to be shaped, We had better go to so me port on the " coast of Brazil. The first witness examined was the chief mate, who with other witnesses corrobo rated this statement, and the inquiry was adjourned. Messrs. Girvin and Glover, part owners of the ship, have had claims amounting to £30,000 preferrea against them for salvage. The anxiety which has preyailed for the last few days re specting the safety of the General Steam Navigation Com pany's screw steamship Germania, Captain Drynami fram Tonning, was relieved yesterday afternoon by the receipt of a telegram announcing her arrival in the river off Gravesend, and later in the day she reached Blackwell. Out of her cargo of about 350 ca ttl e, which she took on board at Twining. scarcely more than 50 have been brought home alive. Those stowed on deck were lost overboard during the hurricane, and most of the remainder in the hold were so knocked about by the heavy rolling of the ship that they were either trampled to death or suffocated. When the steamer came alongside Brown's Wharf, at Black wall, the scene the hold presented was truly shocking. The between decks and bot tom of the hold were crowded with dead beasts, and decom position had set in. Here and there a live bullock was slung up out of the dead mass, but the Custom •house officers pro • hibited any of the carcases from being landed, and the ship was ordered to return down the river and out to sea below the Nore that night in order to throw the dead cattle over board. The Germania left Twining on Thursday forenoon, and on the following day encountered the storm. She had got too far on her passage to return to port, and she was still kept on her course, a tremendously heavy sea every now and then breaking over the steamer, killing or washing over board some of tthe cattle. Throughout the whole of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday the ship was buffeted about in the North Sea, and but for her good qualities as a sea boat, more especially with such a cargo as cattle on board ) she must have foundered. Sails were hoisted to keep her head to the sea, but frequentlyAmevas was blown away. Most providentially she had an extra:l3fmk of 60 tots or coal on board, but for which it is difficult to conjecture what might have happened to the vessel. She was enabled to keep up her steam, and so avoided being quite at the mercy of wind and waves. On the weather somewhat moderating on Tuesday she made more progress for the Thames, and eventually arrived in the river as before stated. The Magnet, another cattle steamer, which should have arrived at Blackwell on Sunday, encountered the hurricane and put back to Islieue Diep, with the loss, it is reported, of 200 head of cattle. It is also stated that the ship is half full of water. LIVERPOOL, Wedaesday. Between Tuesday night and this morning in this neigh bourhood a very severe gale blew from the north-westward, which veered round towards the west. During a large por tion of the night the storm raged with extreme violence, and in the course of the day intelligence•was received at the Underwriters' Association Rooms, intimating that the Arion, from Liverpool to St. Thomas's, was wrecked near Carnet . - von, and that her crew is supposed to have been lost. The Kalos, Captain Vaughan, from Quebec, arrived yesterday morning with loss of bowsprit and other damage, occasioned by having been in collision with the Windsor, from Dublin. On Tuesday about 300 Baltic deals, several spars, and a lowermast painted white, were washed on shore at South• port. The captain of the Tamworth reports that the Prus sian bark Eliza, from the Baltic, was off Ormshead on Fri day without a pilot. The Horizon, for Calcutta, which put back on Tuesday, had her mainmast sprung, had lost her raaintopsail yard, had her sails blown away, and her crew were completely exhausted. The ship on Saturday morning struck the ground heavily twice. The J. L. Bogart, for New York, and Mistress of the Seas, for Bombay, when swinging to the tide, in the Sloyne, on Monday evening, dragged their anchors and fouled each other. The former lost her mainyard, bulwarks, &c., and the latter lost her jibboom, &c. The flat Maple, earthenware laden, sunk off the King's pier on Tuesday. She was bound from Duke's cut to the James Foster, jun., for New York, lying in the river. Out of 101 crates on board about 89 are saved. LANCASTER, Tuesday. On Friday morning, on the arrival of the Belfast packet Selburne at Morecambe, Captain Silley reported that there was a brig ashore on the Isle of Walney, at the north end of the bay, and that a large vessel was lying in a dangerous position at the entrance to the bay. The brig proved to be a Prussian vessel, and she has since gone to pieces, the crew having succeeded in saving themselves. The other vessel reported has turned out to be the Lilliass, Capt. Bell, of St. John's, New Brunswick, which had left Liverpool on Thursday. Captain Wheeler, of the steamship Royal Con sort, had also passed her, and from his representations a steam-tug was sent to her assistance, and towed her to the usual anchorage for vessels bound from Fleetwood, about one mile west of the Wyre light. The Lilliass rode there in safety until Friday evening, when, the gale increasing, blue lights and rockets were thrown up from the vessel, and the Fleetwood lifeboat, in charge of a steamtug r put off to her assistance. On arriving alongside the crew in sisted on leaving the ship, considering it unsafe to remain there, and 26 of them, with the captain's daughter, refused to leave. The weather then became so bad that the lifeboat had to leave her and seek safety in Glasgow dock. On Saturday morning the captain and officers remaining hoisted a signal of distress, but the weather was still so violent that the lifeboat dared not go to their assistance, and about two hours afterwards the Talbot, Captain Briggs, from Belfast, sighted the distressed ship and went towards her. No boat could live in such a sea, and it was very dangerous for the Talbot to approach near the Lilliass. The captain of the Talbot, however, notwithstanding that his decks were crowded with dead cattle, killed by the storm, and that a great portion of his bulwarks had been washed away, managed to run his vessel athwart the bows of the Lilliass, and the men on board the latter jumped to the Talbot, and were caught by the seamen and hauled on board. Great credit is due to Capt. Briggs for the indefatigable and humane emertions he made. The Lilliass sank soon after, and has since gone to pieces. Among the minor casualties sustained in the bay are the following :—The Northern Light, from Dundalk to Preston, with barley, drove on the Pilling Sands, and became a wreck. The crew were saved by the Fleet wood lifeboat. A fishing-boat, the Pioneer, has been sunk on the Pilling Sands. Another vessel, the Rook, bound from Ardrossan for Morecambe, with iron, sank on the Duddon Sands. The crews of both these vessels were saved. The Belfast packet the Talbot, with a heavy cargo of cattle, sus idea of the v i o l ence o f th e waves ma y b e tainedusleerdi. Some ousdam age, and a grea t n u m be r o f th e ca ttle were gathered from the fact that one of the bullocks was driven through the deck into the engine room among the machi nery. The gale was also felt severely upon land. In Lan caster a large number of tiles and chimney pots were thrown down, a tree was uprooted in the churchyard, and a rail way carriage standing upon the junction of the London and North-Western and Midland Railways was blown com pletely off the rails. GREAT YARMOUTH, Wednesday. A screw collier and numerous vessels have arrived to-day damaged and leaky. The masts of a vessel have been seen near the Cockle lightship, the crew are supposed to be lost, The master (Nutt) and one man of the Helena of Rochester, have been received at the Sailors' Homo. During the height of the gale on Monday night, when off Winterton, the Helena came into collision with the brig Arrow, of Sunderland. The master of the Helena and one of the crew managed to scramble on board of the Arrow during the brief time the vessels were in contact, but the remainder of the crew, four in number, were unable to do so, and they were drowned, the ship foundering soon afterwards. There are many disabled vessels in the Wold, which are unable to proceed south in consequence of a strong wind from the south-west. There is still a large fleet in the roadstead. LOWESTOrT, Tuesday Evening, The screw steamship Rowland, Capt. Parl, of and from Hamburg for Hull with passengers and cattle, left Ham burg at 5 a,m. on Friday, encountered the heavy gale in crossing the Channel, and had a horse and a bullock pitched down among her machinery. The vessel, while close to the Humber on Saturday morning, made a sudden lurch, by which the captain, while putting out the lead, was pitched into the sea. Half an hour elapsed before the crew could succeed in getting a boat ove rboar d , during which time the captain was swimming. When they got him on board at last every exertion was made by the passengers and crew to restore him, but without avail ; he shortly afterwards ex pired. The vessel put in here this afternoon wick the dead body of the captain, and half her horses and bullocks were dead from the tossing of the ship during the lengthened gale. Captain Parl leaves a wife and two children in Ham burg. The steamer Admiral Cator, Captain Moore, from Rotterdam, of and for Hartlepool, with a general cargo, has just put in hero for refuge and to coal. The brig Lamb, Captain Oliver, of Hartlepool, from Shields for London, was assisted in by a Yarmouth tug, with loss of maintop mast, &c. The brig Ceres, Captain Dryden, of and from Hartlepool for London, with coals, put in here with loss of anchors and chains—also the schooner Alliance, Captain Burnett, from Goole, with loss of foremast, maintopmast, and considerable other damage having been in collision during the gale, Several other vessels put in here with loss of anchors hnd other damage. SHIELDS, Wednesday. The Annie, of Sunderland, in ballast, and the Olive, of Dundee, were towed into Hartlepool yesterday by the Esk stcamtug, of Whitby, dismasted. The Tally Ho, of Shore ham, has also been towed into Hartlepool in a similar con dition. When about 20 miles off Hartlepool on Monday night the Tally Ho fell in with the Olive dismasted and at the mercy of the waves. Mr. Young, master of the Tally Ho, took the disabled vessel in tow, and brought her within three miles of Hartlepool, when the tow line broke. The gale was then masts its heigh t, and Mr .

This Company is established in order, as its name implies, to carry on the trade of Merchant Bankers. Hitherto this department of business has been almost exclusively in the hands of private firms, but it is confidently believed that the Joint-Stock principle may be most beneficially applied to it, as well in the interests of commerce as to the advantage of those who desire a safe and profitable investment. The Merchant Banking. Company of London, Limited, is in consequence projected, having been carefully matured under the auspices of merchants, and, having every facility already available and in full operation, the Company will at once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know ledge and experience of the respective foreign markets. The Company will avoid costly establishments abroad, which absorb so large a portion or the profits of other bank ing establishments, and avail themselves of the agency of mercantile houses already established. The Company will grant negotiable orother credits, by and upon their Foreign Agents, to importers of produce in this country, on the continent of Europe, and in America. They will make advances on the staple manu , actures of this country under dommentary bills, or cinsigned to their Agents abroad, for such periods as may be necessary to realise the sale of such goods, and on terms favourable to the shippers. They will also undertake to execute orders for produce through their Agents abroad, on terms highly advantageous to importers. The Company will further undertake the monetary agency of Foreign and Colonial Governments, and other constituted public bodies. They will receive deposits at their Head Office in London, at the current rates of interest, and grant loans, through their Agents abroad, on approved securities. The safety of the Merchant Banking Company of London, Limited, as an investment will be understood from the na ture of the business proposed to be transacted, and the profits likely to be made by the Company may be in some measure estimated by the well-known success of several mercantile banking establishments engaged in the same descrip,ion of business. No promotion-money will be paid in connexion with this Company; the pre iminary expenses will be strictly confined to actual disbursements. The Articles of Association can be seen at the Offices of the Solicitors. A pplieations for Shares may he 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 num ber of Shares applied for has been paid.

The inundated portions of the course showed little im provement upon the opening day, and the competitors in the hurdle races and steeplechases hal to gallop through water reaching to their knees. The meeting, however, has been a highly successful one, the committee having added considerably to their "fund" by the sales of winners. Large fields, as will be observed from the following return, were the order of the day, and the majority of the events placed a balance in favour of the bookmakers. The various races produced excellent contests, the Grand National Steeplechase exciting deep interest until within a quarter of a mile from the finish, when Mr. Ten Brack's flat racing cast-off Reporter (who made his successful debut at Lincoln a fortnight ago) came away from the heavily weighted Modora, and defeated her by 10 lengths. The following are full details of the day's sport : The Hurdle Race (Handicap) of 5 soya each, with 40 added ; winners extra. Two miles, over six hurdles. 23 subs.

Remunerator jumped off first; but "topping" the first hurdle,Margery and Marble Hill momentarily held the lead. I n the succeeding few hundred yards Remunerator again went to the front, and made the running until within half a m ile of home, where the issue was a match between Marble gill and Pot Pourri, but the latter, having the best of the struggle throughout, won by half a length ; Whitehall a bad third ; Church Militant close up ; the others were pulled up at the stand enclosure. Rapture stopped after blundering at the first hurdle, in consequence of the bridle getting over the horse's head and the rider not being able to recover it.

Worcester led over the first flight of hurdles, followed by Reporter, and Socks close together, Yaller Gal being next, Medora fifth, and Freshman last. There was no variation over the succeeding two flights of hurdles, after clearing which Medora and Socks dropped into the rear, leaving Re porter in attendance upon 'Worcester, Yeller Gal still third, and Freshma n fourth, and in this order they repassed the stand, when Medora again took the fourth pl ace, b ut was headed at the top turn by Socks. Upon entering the meadows 'Worcester shied at the sheet of water through which they had to gallop, and in an instant dropped to the rear, the running being taken up by Socks, who, blundering at the second jump in the meadows, soon joined Worcester in the rear ; Medora then acted as pioneer, followed by Reporter, Yeller Gal, and Freshman in the order named, Worcester and Socks following some distance behind the first quartette. With the exception of Yaller Gal giving place to Freshman no alteration occurred with the leaders until rounding the bottom turn, where Reporter assumed the lead, but approaching the artificial brook in front of the stand, Medora again went to the front, the pair rising at the leap together; but Medora being nearly down in the jump, gave Reporter an advantage; Yeller Gal followed over the artificial brook third, 'Worcester, who had made up his ground, being fourth, Freshman fifth, and Socks last ; Reporter maintained the lead through the water pre ceding the entrance to the meadows, passing through which Medora again faltered and dropped into the fourth place, but recovered her former position in the meadows ; Worcester rapidly approached the leading couple in the succeeding quarter of a mile, and when close up with them. at the last hurdle, fell , leaving the finish with Reportth eer and Medora, and the former increasing his lead fromarate di s tance won by ten lengths ; a similar distance d t the the second and third ; Freshman and wassnot r hurt, o was post, a nd Worcester, whose jockey s topped by the crowd.

THE NAVY. The paddlewheel steamer Monkey, taken up by the wheelwright department at Woolwich on the 7th of November, 1862, hae been completed, and handed over to recommence harbour service, as aosdfeorrn merly. She may now be considered a th oroug h ly new vessel, having only a very few of he r old Vaa -1 bers remaining, and is fitted with all h improvements; so as to render her one of the most efficient and powerful tug vessels in the service. Her paddle-boxes are placed lift. 6in. further aft than in the old vessel, which it is expected will in crease her speed at least one knot. Her draught of water is 10ft. aft and 9ft. forward, while that of the old vessel was 10ft. forward and 9ft. 4in. aft. She is under orders to coal tomorrow and go down the river on the following day, on a trial of her speed and machinery. The lengthening of the building slip at Woolwich, for the construction of Mr. Reed's experimental iron-cased corvette Pallas, has been completed, and the first portion of her keel was yesterday laid on the blocks. The work is to be pushed forward with the greatest despatch. A large number of shipwrights will be transferred for that purpose from the Caledonia on Tuesday, on her leaving the Victoria Docks for Sheerness. The Wolverene, one of the old class of wooden corvettes, launched from the slip on which the Pallas is now being built, at Woolwich, is in a for ward state, and has received the whole of her ma chinery, supplied by Messrs. Ravenhill and Co. By a special order, issuing from the Controller's Department, relative to all ships of that class, a poop and forecastle are being erected for the ac commodation of the officers and crew, on the upper deck. Although many objections have been raised against this interference with the quarter deck by naval officers, who prefer an entire "flash" from stem to stern, there is no doubt that the shelter thus afforded to the ship's company on the otherwise open deck will be acknowledged as one of the modern im provements now introduced for the benefit of the service. Her Majesty's gun vessel Ranger, Commander Wratislaw, from the West Coast of Africa, has com menced stripping and returning stores at Wool wich, and is ordered to pay out of commission on Tuesday next. Her boilers, it has been ascertained, are moat defectiverin—conetquence of which on-het arrival in the Downs the vessel had to beat up to Gravesend under sail. The Ranger did considerable service off Cape Coast Castle in assisting to suppress the insurrection among the Ashantees, for which purpose Commander Wratislaw despatched a gun ner and 27 of his crew on shore to aid the authori rities. The ship has been exceedingly healthy during the whole of the commission, the only deaths which have taken place being those of Mr. Somerville and Mr. Warren, the assist.-paymaster and the second master. Instructions were yesterday received at Chatham dockyard, from the Admiralty, directing Mr. A. Moore, principal master shipbuilder at that estab lishment, to proceed forthwith to Kingston for the purpose of making a survey, in conjunction with some other officers from the Royal dockyards, of the iron-cased ship Prince Consort, in order to report to the Admiralty the extent of the damage she has sustained in her encounter with the gale in the Irish Sea. The target ordered to be constructed on a new principle, and with armour-plates of increased thickness to those at present in use, in order to en able the Gfficials of the Admiralty to decide on the size of the plates with which the new iron frigate Bellerophon, which has been commenced at Chat ham, shall be coated, is to be erected at Shoebury ness, under the superintendence of Mr. Baskcomb, one of the officials from Chatham dockyard. The principal object i n having the target built is to test the strength of the timber back ing and plate s on the plan on which it is pro d to construct the sides of the Bellerophon. To effect this the f o undation of the target will consist o f iron frames t en inches in thickness and about two feet apart, covered first with iron plates two inches in thickness, and afterwards with a backing of teak one foot thick. The six-inch armour-plates will be l a id ou the teak planking, the whole thus forming a target of immense strength. From the calculations already made it is expected that this construction of side for the Bellerophon will surpass in shot-re sisting strength every other system hitherto adopted in this country, and should the trials prove satisfac tory the Bellerophon will be formed in this way from stem to stern. The mechanics employed i n the smithery at Chatham dockyard are now enga ge d z i n making the heavy forgings for the Bellerophon, in readiness for laying down the keel of that vess e l i n No. 2 dock, the Achilles, which now occupies for floating dock, having been ordered to be ready out by the 26th December. The iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 150 horse power, having had her bottom scraped and cleansed in one of the dry docks at Chatham, and the whole of the compositions formerly placed on the hull removed, is to be again operated upon, in order to still further test the merits of the several anti corrosive and exfoliating compositions for prevent ing the accumulations on the bottoms of iron ships. The port side of the hull of the Recruit is to be paid over with the composition invented by Mr. Hay, the Admiralty chymist, and a portion of the star board side is to be coated with the anti-fouling .mix ture submitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Crispin, while the remaining part of the starboard_ bottom will will be coated with a composition submitted t Admiralty by M r .

SouTHDlPTott,liredtgidays The inquiry into this case was resumed this mert. - ing before Mr. J. Bernard (chairman), Capt. Berners, Summers, captain of the Lady of the Lake, again and Mr. Forbes, at the Guildhall, surrendered on bail. He was defended, as on the the captain previous examination, by Mr, E. Coxwell, s w i b a G s . 2. n ot o. nae particle t h eengineer and Mr. ility resting F. Leigh. The case for the prosecution having closed on Fri day- last, Mr. Coxwell now addressed the Bench, contend inghi the prese nt that there was no evidence on which to commit when Mr. Henry? the captain for trial. The simple question for the Bench to consider was whether the deceased came g o i f n e ee v r id o e t n to his death by any criminal neglect on the part of e ,an i d ns t t o an p e r e o . ve Htheatt,hyheen calleds ub mi submitted, follow ing, t her elsewhere the had nothing to do , witnesses any th e r e L s p a o k r stated that about two minutes before the accident he was up on the deck feeline, the bearings, when he the ce Lady of saw George Wooleatt a b out on the top of the fore saloon, which is about four feet above the deck, and from which be could see ahead in all directions. He also saw the captain, to whom a passenger was reading from a newspaper, standitye at the bottom of the compa n i on ladder in the middle t of the ship. He went below, and had only been round the engines when he heard something said about " overboard," which he thought was one of the sheep. Directly afterwards both the captain and boy called out "Stop her," w hi ch he did, and then turned astern fall speed as soon as the way was off the ship. He should think they were going about 14 miles an hour. It was not usual for the on the bridge all the wa r captain to remain down having from Southampton to Cowes, he other duties in reference to packages, &c., to discharge, whi c h are usually attended to when the steamer gets cl ear of the vessels and boats in the river. The part o f the river where the accident occurred is unusually clear. On the port side there was a large hamper on the top of a house in front of the paddlebox, bet this would not prevent the mate at the wheel seeing the look-out man. He did not see anythi n g on the fore saloon. He considered the engines werere versed long enough to stop the way on t he vessel and carry her 300 yards astern. The crew con sisted of a captain, mate, tw o s e amen, stewar d, en gineer, fireman, and boy. There was n othing on the fore cabin to prevent the mate from seeing Woolcott, except the funnel. George Woolcott, having been cautioned by the Bench to the effect that what he said might be used in evidence against him, stated that he was a seaman on board the Lady of the Lake at the time of the accident. He relieved Salter on the look-out near to Fawley Creek, just before the accident. He was on the 100k -out on the port side of the side-house, standing on the rail of the bulwarks, and leaning against the side-house. He could see the mate at the wheel from there, and of course the latter could see him. He saw the boat with the deceased on the port bow some little distance and ahead, gave a signal to the man at the wheel by lifting out his right arm, which means to port the helm. The mato could have seen his signal if he had been !ooking for ward. At the same time witness saw the cap tain standing on the l a dd er, with his hands on the rail. When he gave the signal the vessel was ported a little fur a short time, and then he gave a signal to star board the helm, which was done, but the boat was then too near for the vessel to go round. He then hallooed out to the man in the boat to shove her off. She was then along the port bow. He should think they were 50, 60, or 100 yards from the boat when he gave the first signal. It was rather thick and hazy. The sun was shining too. He sent the helm astarboard to enable the stern of the vessel to clear the boat. He had only been a fortnight in the em ploy of the company, bat was in a steamer some years ago. It was not customary for the captain to remain on the bridge all the way down. Witness relieved the look-out without any orders. They took the wheel and the lookout in turns. It was Salter's turn to look out, but he saw him go away, and thought he might just as well be there as down below. It was not his duty to look out, but if he saw any thing he should, of course, call attention to it. They relieved one another at the wheel, and then looked out in turns. It was customary for them to relieve one another as they liked. He saw the captain on the bridge, and he could see witness, but when Sal ter went down the captain was on the ladder. Salter said to witness, " Stand here while I go down to get my breakfast, and I'll come up again." About two minutes elapsed between his making the sign to port the helm and calling to the man to shove off. The man at the wheel saw him standing there, but he did not know whether he received his orders wheu the -other was gone. -• He was only once en the lore cabin, up and down which he walked once, but that was before he saw the boat. As soon us be saw the vessel could not clear the boat he rau aft, but had made a signal before he did so. The man was sitting in the boat. He saw a rope over her stern, but not not know whether the boat was at anchor or the man was sculling. He thought the man was fishing, and that the boat was not moving. He had been in colliers and other boats, but had never served any particular time at sea. This being the whole of the evidence, the magis trates committed the captain for trial at the next Winchester assizes on the charge of manslaughter, but admitted him to bail, himself in £lOO and two sureties in £5O each. The required bond being im mediately forthcoming, the defendant was liberated from custody.

The first thing which strikes the visitor on entering the vestibule of their sanctuary is a most ancient and fish-like smell, and if he approaches the alter he will discover that the breath of the gods smells strangely of stale salmon. The first object of Chinese adoration that meets the eye is a high and hilarious god, standing some 7ft. or aft. in his stockings, and flourishing a cigar in his left hand like a Montgomery -street swell. The attitude of this idol is not very graceful, while his legs widely spread apart, and the air with which he braces back against the wall, suggest that he is under the influence of the rosy. Altogether he had a convivial look about him highly cheerful to behold, and the effect is heightened by two horns with serrated edges which sprout gaily from behind his ears.
