Two days afterwards his Majesty nominated a 6 his successor to the throne of Denmark, his uncle, Prince Frederic Ferdinand of Denmark, who was born in 1792, and was thus 16 years older than the reigning King; but the death of this prince pre vented this intention from being carried out, even supposing the hereditary law already published had never been passed.

Geoffroy de Villeneuve, in the name of the Bth bureau, presented the report on the election of M. Eugene Pelletan, in the ninth circumscription of the Seine. The number of votes was 24,522, and the absolute majority 12,261. M. Pelletan having obtained 12,295 votes, the bureau was at first of opinion t hat the election was valid, but it aftewards found that a certain number of voters had not taken the oath prescribed by the law, and that M. Pelletan had not, therefore, obtained the requisite majority. The bureau therefore proposed to invalidate the election. 2,73 5 7,671 28,241 29,32 6 i. 6 84 536 The iron paddlewheel frigate Recruit, 6, 150 horse power, will be floated out of No. 3 dock at Chatham during the approaching spring tides, and placed at moorings in the harbour, where she will remain for some time in order that the merits of the several antifouling compositions with which her bottom has been coated may be thoroughly tested. During the time the Recruit has been in dock her bottom has been scraped and cleansed, and the whole of the former compositions with which both sides were covered removed. A portion of the starboard side, from the stem to the star board sponson, has been payed over with a new anti-fouling composition submitted to the Admiralty by Mr. Wilson, whose invention, it is alleged, has been tried on the bottom of several of the iron West India steamers, with very satis factory results. The remainder of the starbard side is coated with Crispin's composition, formerly placed on the bottom of the setae vessel. The whole of the port side is covered with the composition of Mr. Hay, the Admiralty chemist, who has received instructions from the Admiralty to operate on the bottom of the iron frigate Achilles before she leaves the dock in which she is approaching completion at Chatham dockyard. An' order had been received from the Admiralty for one of the sides of the Recruit to be covered with Redman's anti-fouling mixture, but it was afterwards rescinded. tir lT LLE MADRAS IRRIGATION and CANAL COMPANY.

Eugene Pelletan—The eighth bureau has decided unanimously that the Prefect of the Seine, in his mods of conducting the election, committed an illegality, and attacked the liberty of universal suffrage. " M. Geoffroy de Villenuve—There was an error, and that is all. "M. Eugene Pelletan—lf there had not been an illegality, my election would be regular. From the moment that the question is started between a prin ciple of liberty and my personal interest I no longer insist. I sacrifice the latter, and I have too high an orinion of the mandate of a deputy to allow even the shadow of a doubt to rest on the - lialidity of my election." (Hear, hear.) Some discussion then ensued,the bureau proposing a new election, but after observations from the Pre sident, the Marquis de Talhouet, M. Glais Bizoin, M. Emile 011ivier, and M. Rouher, Minister of State, the case was sent back to the bureau to see if it could not present another decision. Viscount Lanjuinais was admitted in the Loire-Inferieure ; the Duke d'Albufera, in the Eure ; and Count d'Arjuvon, M. Petit, and the Due de Marmier in the Charente. The election of the Duke de Tarente in the Loiret was likewise confirmed, after some observations from M. Ernest Picard and M. Lang lais ; as was that of M. Belliard in the Gera, after remarks from M. Emile 011ivier, M. Rouland, Minister, presiding over the Council of State, M. Grapierianasi M.

The King also complied with the wishes of his subjects by granting the wished-for constitution, which was announced on the 28th of January, four days after the issue of the decree above mentioned. This concession, however, did not prevent the out break of disturbances in Copenhagen and in the duchies. Though the dynasty survived the shock of insurrection felt throughout Europe in that eventful year, numerous troubles and discussions arising out of the disputes concerning the duchies since arose, and still continue.

Bell, C. 8., to the colonely of the 104th Regiment (late Bengal Fusileers), vacant by the removal of Lieut.-Gen. Sir P. Grant, G.C.B„ to the 78th Highlanders, a pension for distinguished meri torious service is placed at the disposal of the Duke of Cambridge. The drawings and plans for a commodious range of buildings to be erected at Chatham for the married non commissioned officers and soldiers belonging to the line regiS ments quartered at that garrison have been prepared, under the superintendence of Col. Twiss, commanding Royal En gineers at Chatham, and have received the final approval of the Secretary of State for War. The site selected for the erection of the new buildings is the plantation beneath the fortifications, near the entrance to Chatham Barracks, and is in every respect well adapted for the purpose. The build ings are to be at once commenced, and their erection will supply a want long felt at Chatham, which is almost the only garrison of all our large military atations at which se parate quarters have not been provided for married troops. An application has also been made to the Admiralty by the naval officials at Chatham for a separate building to be erected for the married non•commissioned officers and men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, but their lordships have announced that they cannot comply with the request. The Rajah of Cochin, sailing transport, with the re mainder of the 55th Regiment on board, sailed from Spit head early on Saturday morning for Madras. The 55th have been succeeded in garrison at Portsmouth by the 26th (Cameronians) from Gosport. The Empress, sailing transport, with Military Train and Royal Artillery on board, for New Zealand, sailed from Spithead at noon on Saturday, her Majesty's paddle steamer Medusa towing her out clear of the Channel. Private G. Wilmot, of the 70th Regiment, who was -re cently tried by a general court-martial at Colchester camp for striking with a stone Capt. Reid, of the 4th D;pot Bat talion, and who was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude for that offence, has been "drummed out" of the service. The 64th Regiment, now stationed at Aldershott, re ceived a telegram from the Horse Guards on Friday morning ordering its immediate departure from the camp, which will take place as follows :—Head-quarters to Gos port to-morrow morning, and detachments to IV eymou,h and Portland. Detachments for Tipper and Marchwood will leave the camp this morning, The season for reviews and field-days at Aldershott having closed, orders have been issued to general officers commanding brigades to practise their brigades in route marching independently. Divisional route-marching pa rades will, as a rule, take place on Thursday. The court of inquiry respecting the late fire in the camp at Aldershott, by which 78 horses were burnt to death, on the 6th inst., have concluded their labours, and the result has been forwarded to the proper official quarters. In con sequence of what is considered to be the dangerous position of the stables adjoining that which was destroyed, the H battery of Royal Horse Artillery, removed from its quarters, X and Y lines, South Camp, on Wednesday evening, to the east cavalry barracks, until further orders. This is probably preparatory to the erection of permanent stables in place of those the combustible and dangerous character of which has 'teen lately so sadly exhibited. A PROJECT FOR PEACE. The following is an extract of a private letter from a gentleman in one of the Northern States to a friend in London : " Oct. 26,1863. . In answer to your inquiries whether pacifica tion on a basis of separation, permanent or temporary, is likely to be acceptable or is practicable, I can only answer for myself. Acceptable it certainly would not be just now in the North, a community excited in one way or another beyond the reach of reason ; but acceptable it soon must be, when the weariness of sorrow becomes stronger and finan cial trouble is more imminent. There is a growing feel ing in favour of peace and recognition in preference to the continuance of such a war, or to intervention from abroad; though ratherthan this brotherly bloodshed should go on, people may become reconciled to that as a means of peace. My American instincts yet revolt at the forcible in tervention of foreign nations in our domestic feuds ; I can not, however, as a friend of peace, see any objection to foreign recognition, to which I think the South entitled, and which, in my poor judgment, at once would produce peace. There is a prevalent mistake abroad on this point. "A reasonable plan of pacification, supposing statesmen to direct our policy, would be this : " 1. If the war is to go on for a time, as from mere mo mentum perhaps it must, let it be turned as soon as possi ble from attempted conquest to a war for limits and terms of settlement. "2. Let negotiations be opened at once with the Go vernment at Richmond for such settlement, making mere formal recognition one of the matters for discussion. The Shelburne Ministry sent Mr. Oswald and Mr. Grenville to Paris, in 1782, to negotiate before they recognised us. The mission of that negotiation is very impressive now. "3. Of course the Southern Confederacy, as an existing concrete thing, is to be recognised de jure. There can be no peace without it. " 4. As to limits, I as a Northern man prefer a natural to an arbitrary boundary; very much prefer the Potomac and the Ohio to the line of blazed trees and landmarks that now separate us, and which has been quite ineffectual to protect us from two invasions. "6. But the States of Maryland and Delaware have a right to determine their relations to the two Confederacies by a free vote—free, I mean, in fact, and not in form—and their decision affects boundaries. Pennsylvania is assumed to go with the North. "6. In any event of separation, Washington should not be the capital of either Confederacy. For the North it would be unsuitable; as a frontier fortress, which it is, it would be intolerable to the South. For the South it would be equally unsuitable. Let it be a monument of the glorious. It is worthless now for any practicable purpose. "7. The navigation of the Ohio and Mississippi, and •n the event of Maryland joining the South, of the l Susque hanna and Chesapeake, to be free. "8. A. common tariff for the two Confederacies as to foreign nations, on a revenue basis, to be made by commer cial treaties, and no tariff or duties or custom-houses between the Confederacies. "9. Indemnities and compensations and territorial right to be subjects of negotiation. "This is I think a fair and reasonable basis of pacifica tion, neither intimating nor excluding the possibility of re confederation, but providing against future differences. "This may save the public debts, nothing else will; for the alternative for the North will be further disintegration when the hour of disgust comes, as it surely will; and then the national debt falls in ruin. " This is an honest answer to your question," In the Corps Legislatif in its sitting of NV ednes day a rather animated discussion took place respect ing some contested elections; but the chief interest of the sitting consisted in the fact that M. Thiera addressed the Assembly at some length : "The Marquis d'Andelarre, although a Govern ment member, objected with great warmth that M. Bertrand, the Mayor of Caen, was not duly elected, because the ballot-box had not been sealed as the law requires, and had not, moreover, as the law also requires, been deposited during the night in a room with sealed doors. He also complained that M. Foucher de Careil, the Opposition candidate, was refused the necessary authorization to print his election address, and that the election•room was so filled with partisans of the mayor that electors could not put their own bulletins into the box, but were forced to pass them from hand 'to hand through a crowd of the Mayor's agents. To these charges M. Bertrand, the Mayor of Caen, who defended his own election in person, answered that the ballot-box was the same that had always been used for elections in Caen, and that, although not sealed, it was secured by four locks of such enor mous strength that they might have been forged by Vulcan. (Laughter.) As to the refusal to print the Opposition candidate's address, it was made by the printer, who mistakenly alleged that the prefect would not allow it, and, moreover, M. Foucher de Careil went to the printer's on a Sunday. A printed paper which the prefect would not allow to be hawked in the streets was an electioneering squib written by an agent, and not entitled to the privi leges which the law accords to candidates only. The fact of the bulletins being passed from hand to hand to the ballot-box he stoutly denied. "M. Glais Bizoin, one of the new Opposition members, said that in this scrutiny the Chamber ought to have two objects in view—first, the validity of the election immediately in discus sion ; And, secondly, to take care that the abuses which had occurred s hould be so exposed as to serve as a lesson to the country and the Admi nistration with the view that they might not occur again. He read a letter from the sub-prefect of Falaise to all the shopkeepers of his arrondissement . recommending them to vote for the Government candidate, in terms which evidently conveyed a threat. Being interrupted by ironical cheers from the majority, M. Glais Bizoin said, ' This is no laughing matter, gentlemen, it is humiliating.' "M. Bertrand was then declared duly elected, without a division. " Viscount Lanjuinais (the Opposition member for Nantes), complained that, although there had been no protest against his election, the bureau to which it was referred had kept him waiting for three days, and refused to make a report upon the pretext that a protest was expected. "M. Rouher (Minister of State) wished to say that the Minister of the Interior had only that day received a protest against M. Lanjuinais's return and that the protest must by this time have reached the Chamber. " A conversation ensued, in the course of which M. Rouher admitted, and the Duke de Morny (who was in'the chair) strongly insisted, that the bureaux ought to make their reports without delay, and not hold them over to wait for protests to come. It seemed to be generally agreed that there was a casus omissus in the law as to the time within which a protest against an election ought to be made. The report of the bureau in M. Lanjuinais's case not being ready it necessarily stood over, but with an understanding that no further evidence against the return was to be received. " M. Jules Simon (Opposition member) asked for the ,adjournment of the case of M. Noubel, against whom there was _a very,st9us protest by M. Baze, which was to , been supported by M. Marie, who was unfortunately absent from illness. M. Bazo had 35 documents which he brought forward as proofs in favour of his protest, and they would be in the hands of members on the morrow. " M. Pissard (reporter)—lt is true there are 35 documents ; the bureau has examined them all care- fully, and it was of opinion—without feeling it necessary to hear the testimony of either M. Baze or M. Noubel—that there was nothing in them. "M. Thiers—l wish to make a simple observa tion. Why did the bureau, making an exception to the general rule, refuse to hear M. Baze and M. Noubel. Allowance ought to be made for the dif ference between the situation of those who, being in the Chamber, can offer explanations, and those out side, who cannot. " M, Crenzet—M. Baze did not ask to be heard by the bureau ; he only said he was ready to be heard if called upon. The bureau thought itself sufficiently informed about the case without calling for his evidence, that is all. "M. 'Tiers—No other election presents so grave a fact as that which we have here—a suspension of the course of justice. (Clamours.) "M. Noubel—l am ready to answer. (The Pre sident having put the question of adjournment, which was negatived.) "M. Theirs resumed—l am not prepared to dis cuss the whole report on this election. I merely point out one very serious fact, which is treated in the report with an indulgence unworthy of the dignity of this Chamber. (Cries of `No, no.') The case is this. M. Baze's placards were torn down by order of the mayor in the commune of St. Front, and that was a violation of the law. M. Baze there upon obtained an order from the President of the Tribunal that the mayor should appear before him * to show cause why he should not be compelled to post M. Baze's bills. But M. B3ze could get no huissier to serve the process upon the mayor, be cause the Procureur-Imperial had ordered all the huissiers not to act for NI. Baze until June 2, which was the day after the election. Well, you would have the law respected in the country, and yet you treat with indifference a fact like this, which is nothing less than the suspension of the course of law in France. (Noise.) The Pro cureur-General and the Minister of Justice have both censured the illegal act (applause on some benches), and now the report treats it as just nothing at all. (More interruption.) The bureau would not hear M. Beze. That fact is certain. (A Voice. It has been explained.') I will assume that the bureau thought itself sufficiently enlightened, but I must observe that it is the only bureau which has refused to hear explanations. I repeatthat I am not prepared to go into the case fully. M. Marie, , who would have done so, is absent from in disposition ; but I call the attention of the Chamber to this interference with justice, and I thus free my own responsibility. " M. Pissard.—The reporters said that the judge's order only appointed a hear ing for June 6, and therefore M. Baze was in no Way prejudiced by the service of the order on the mayor being suspended till June 2. "M. Rouher (Minister of State) admitted that the act of the Procureur Imperial was not legally justifiable, and said that he had been reprimanded for it. But it could have had no effect upon the result of the election, since M. Noubel's majority was very large. The fact was, that legal process frightened country people very much, and the Pro cureur Imperial tho u g ht, bona fide, that M. Baze's writ might operate as an intimid a ti on w hil e t h e election was going on. M. Thiers.—l don't care about the influence of the act upon the election. That is not the question. I have obtained an admission from the Government of all that I wanted —namely, that the course of justice was suspended by the act o f th e P rocureu r du Roi. (Loud laughter.) I beg pardon, I should have said the Procureur Imperial. I shall soon get into right habits. (More laughter.) You speak of intimidation ; but it you say the Opposition exer cioes intimidation in the elections, France will not believe you. (Interruption.) " After some further excuses for the Procureur THE LATE KING OF DENMARK. The public will be surprised to hear that another head of a Royal House in Europe, and one on whose actions for some time past a question of peace or war has hinged, has been suddenly summoned from earth. King Frederick VII. of Denmark, of whose ill ness only a slight previous intimation had been re ceived, died at his Palace at Glucksburg, near Flensburg, in the duchy of Schleswig, yesterday afternoon. The immediate cause of the King's death was er ysipelas, with which he was suddenly seized a few days since; but it would appear that no danger was anticipated until towards the close of last week, when the inhabitants of Copenhagen became aware that their beloved monarch, who has for a long time past been unceasing in his exertions to pro mote the defence of the country in its present critical condition, was seriously ill. From that time bulletins were frequently transmitted from the Palace at Glucksburg to Copenhagen, announcing to the grief-stricken inhabitants that the illness under which the King laboured had assumed an alarming character. On Friday the fever usually attendant on this complaint increased, and his Ma jesty became continually delirious; but as the chief complaint, the erysipelas, had not increased during the night, and as the royal patient had ob tained a little sleep, the report on Saturday was that the Kin; was better. Though this announcement tended in some degree to tranquillise the minds of the inhabitants of Copenhagen, the infegigence published yesterday morning in the Dlnish capital tended to destroy the hopes which had been enter tained, for during Saturday night all the unfavour able symptoms had increased in intensity, and want of sleep assisted in preventing the remedial measures adopted from taking the desired effect. The grief of the people of the capital when the melancholy news arrived can only be con ceived by those who have studied the critical cir cumstances in which Denmark has so long been in volved with the German Federal Diet in respect of the vexed question of the Duchies, and who know how earnestly and devotedly the King has laboured to promote the defence of the country against the threatened execution by the Diet. In deed, i t i s i n a great measure to be fea re d th a t t h e illness under which the King has now suddenly succumbed was brought on by his exertions in strengthening the defences of his country, and in collecting and reviewing the bodies of troops as sembled in and near the threatened duchies. His Majesty has been residing at Glucksburg for some time, with the exception of a short - visit which he paid to Copenhagen about the middle of last month. This visit to the capital became at last imperative in order to consult with his Ministers as to the steps in progress for the defence of the country, and to give to his Cabinet the benefit of his opinion on several important measures which had been for some time under discussion. As soon as this business of State was despatched, the King hastened to return to Glucksburg, where he could better direct the operations of the camp formed in that neighbour hood, and could the more efficiently superintend the efforts made for strengthening the great bulwark of the country known for ages as the Dannevirke. The late King Frederic VII., who also bore the names of Charles Christian, was born October 8, 1808, and consequently had but recently attained his 55th year. He was the son of King Chris tian VIII., and his mother was the Princess Char lotte Frederique, daughter of Frederick Francis, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The late King succeeded his father on the 20th January, 1848. He was married, first, in November, 1829, to the Princess Wilhelmine Marie, daughter of Frede ric VI., King of Denmark, but was separated from her in September, 1837. The second marriage was to the Princess Caroline Charlotte Marianne, daughter of George, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, on June 10, 1841 ; but a second separation took place in September, 1846. The third marriage of the King, to the Countess Danner, was of a mor ganatic nature, and, as is well known, much scandal has from time to time been in circulation in respect of this union and the circumstances arising out of it. No issue was born of either of the marriages; and by a law of succession passed in July, 53 the 18 , crown devolves on Prince Christian of Deemark, of the House of Schleswig-Holstein - S onderbourg c ; Glucksburg (the father of the Princess of Wales and of the King of Greece), who was born in 1818, and who, by a decree issued in December, 1858, received for himself and his descendants the title of "royal highness." His Majesty m arried Princess Louise, a Princess of kfessel in 1842, the eassell, who is about six months older than her royal consort, hav ing been born in September, 1817. The late King succeeded just previous to the great European outbreak in 1848, and when his own dominions were agitated by the discussion of several important subjects, and particularly the desire for a new constitution, w hi c h was eagerly wished for by his subjects. The students, who had formed a mili tary corps, cause d some di▪ sorder when re qu i re d to take the oat h to the consti▪ tution, and a few arrests were then made. The King, however, who had had several inter views with his predecessor just previous to the de cease of the latter, and received from him several papers drawn up for the guidance of his successor, signa ll e d his succession to the throne by a royal Cabinet decree which was received with the greatest general approbation and sympathy. The decree in question ordered that all proceedings and trials for political crimes and offences against the press laws in Denmark and the German Duchies should be abandoned, Oa the 24th of January, the day on Fires occucred in various parts of the metropolis and suburban districts on Saturday night and Sun day morning. One fire happened on the premises of Mr. W. Stoneman, a coffee-shop keeper, N o . 80, Princes-road, Lambeth-walk. The engines soon attended, and a sufficiency of water being obtained the firemen were enabled to throw copious streams upon the flames, and the fire was extinguished, but not until the lower part of the building was burnt out and the upper part eeverely damaged. For tunately the sufferer was insured. A fire, attended with considerable destruction of property, broke out about 10 o'clock on Saturday night on the extensive premises in Greek•street, Soho, in the joint occupation of Messrs. Mally, iron boiler-maker; Rogers, carver and gilder; and Hol loway, laundryman. The whole of the contents of the three floors were entirely destroyed, and the stock of Mr. Melly, who occupied the lower por tion of the premises, was seriously damaged by water. The cause of the fire could not be correctly ascertained. _ _ An alarming fire happened in the premises of Mr. H. Jackson, No. 11, Myddelton-square, Clerken well. When discovered the,fire was raging in the back room of the first floor, and the flames were rapidly extending. The escapes promptly attended as well as the engines, and plenty of water having been procured the firemen got the mastery over the fire, but the lower part of the building was burnt out and the upper part much damaged. The loss will fall upon the Liverpool and London Fire-office. Another fire took place at the same time in the premises belonging to Mr. James Beeson, No. 165, Marylebone-road. The engines as well as the escapes attended, but the fire was not extinguished until considerable damage was done. UNHEALTHY HOMES IN NORWICH. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE NORFOLK NEWS. Sir,—The condition of the homes of agricultural labourers in all parts of England is now the subject of much conside ration and discussion, and will probably, ere long, occupy the attention of the Legislature. But whilst the state of the homes in rural districts is greatly to be deplored, there is yet much to be done in this, the metropolis of the county, to render the city homes any thing like decent or healthy. Those who des're to pass a few hours amongst the dwell ings of the poor could not have selected a more fitting day than last Saturday. The weather was then as cheerless as the dwellings. The gentle rain had just melted through •the-feul coating of Beckham's-yard, St. James's, and the rottenness of the rickety old tenements was fairly displayed. I will now endeavour to illustrate the condition of the oc • cupants of these wretched abodes, the owner of which is as poor as his tenants. The first room contained the corpse of an old man, who had lingered through a long period of suffering, lying in rotten sacking, in one of the most dismal abodes that can be imagined. The next inspected was comfortless, approached by a dangerous staircase, and on a bundle of rags lay a female suffering from typhus fever in its worst form. She was attended by an old woman, who needed almost as much attention as the patient herself. An urgent appeal was made to me for some bedding. In the next room, an old woman lay on a stump bedstead, with 3d worth of loose straw, which she had purchased, and without any bedding. The room on the other side was occupied by a man, his wife, and 3 children—the woman being far advanced in pregnancy. They have only one straw bed, and urgently appealed for another. One of the children is paralysed, and another nearly blind. Another bed-room occupied by a man, his wife, and daughter aged 17, lying on the floor on dirty rags. Another occupied by a widow, and her daughter, 20, son, 11, and daughter, 9. These all sleep in one very small bed room, the beds nearly touching. The woman cohabits with a black man, who shares also this room. Some of her children are colored and some white. A donkey is kept in a shed under this bed-room. The next room was occupied by a widow and her son, 18, and only one bed. The woman earnestly appealed for another. Another was occupied by a man and his wife and five children. damp low kitchen, oc- The next was a wretched, dirty, • mst whom was the widow copied by a troop of cadgers- - " Bluebeard ;" and of a celebrated old beggar knaoll'w°nb also a man, his wife, and four chinldraen.ThAe donkey plaeter iskep in part of an old tenement adjoining. broken away and can be seen separa ting it from the kitchen is b d spread abroad the dreaded through.

I might add that a very heavy expense was incur re d a f ew years since in temporarily putting Backham's-yard into a cleanly state, and that there are difficulties with which the guardians and their officers have to contend, in matters such as I have described, but where fever of a contagious nature occurs I believe it to be wise economy to check its progress regardless of expense. I think it unnecessary to trouble you with more of dis gusting details of the interiors of very many of the homes in Norwich; but I am thankful that a society is now being formed, comprising many of the principal inhabitants of the city, with a view to improve the dwellings of the industrial poor.—l am, sir, your very obedieut servant, SAMUEL CLARKE, Inspector.

What is thought of the Anglia's acci dent in the City of the Tribes may be gathered from the following remarks ni,ade on Thursday at a meeting of the harbour commissioners by Mr. Tierney, a member of the board. He (Mr. Tierney) considered it would not be right for the board to separate without esl'ressin g some opinion relative to the disaster which occurred to the Anglia. The harbour commissioners had done nothing more than ask this Board of Trade to hold an investigation into the circum— stances, but Captain Prowse was not oa tisfied to wait for the ordinary court of inquiry ; .heattri bated the accident to the want of p roper marks and beacons in the bay. Now, sir, we have got so many enemies, that to allow such a statement as that which Captain Prows° made to g o forth with out immediate and emphatic contradietion would be' highly culpable. Thousands of ships come ia here, and none of them found their way to Blackrock- Ir• Tierney) perch until Captain Prowse did. He 0 • took some trouble in looking over the chart of th e bay that day, and there is no doubt but the ship was not in her proper course. He did not want to im pute anything to Captain Prowse, but he' could not allow it to go forward that the passage to wir road stead is either difficult or dangerous. He (Captain Prowse) came into.Galway at different times,., both day and night, yet he never found this difficulty until he hit on it; he would ask what advantage it would be to him to come up some nine miles; a i: 3 W hours could be of no great moment; he could re main at anchor until daylight; if he did so, his shi;' might be safe and sound. He (Mr. Tierney) would, say a great deal more, but he did not like to advance , : statements which he could not vouch for. The pilot (Mr. Oliver) was out on that night; he saw the ship's lights, and signalled her, but perhaps he was not seen; and after following the vessel in an open boat for three miles he had to return through stress of weather. He must say that the course pursued by the company is most condemnatory in not sending their vessels a day or two before the day of sailing, to take their posts here, and thereby allow such ample time for the passengers to embark, instead of hurrying five or six hundred souls at a few hours' notice on board a vessel to undergo a long and perilous voyage across the Atlantic. In conclusion, he had only to hope that no person would be taken in by the miserable state ment of Capt. Prowse. Captain B. Forster said ho saw the pilot's light from his own house, and saw her follow the ship. Mr. Tierney said it was evi- , dent the captain did not steer his proper course. THE CITY OF DUBLIN STEAM PACKET COMPANY. The half-yearly meeting of the City of Dublin Steam packet Company was held yesterday. A satisfactory report was presented, recommending the payment of a dividend of 3 per cent. for the half-year. The principal subject brought before the shareholders by the directors was the still unsettled dispute with the Government respecting the works at Holyhead, and which a committee of the liou , 3e of Commons reported upon last year. It appears that, not withstanding the recommendations of the committee, nothing whatever has been done at Holyhead to remove the just causes of complaint on the part of the company. The conduct of the Government in the matter is extraordi nary and indefensible, as wo have already observed; and. we trust that when Parliament again meets the same power which the House of Commons exerted last session to extort the appointment of a committee of inquiry will be employed with equal success in enforcing its report. THE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY AND THE 1864 EXHIBITION. At the stated general meeting of the Royal Dublin So ciety, held on Thursday last, a very important report wag read relative to the exhibition of Irish manufactures, to be held in Dublin next year. It appears that a considerable difference existed between the estimates, both as regards the income and expenditure, of the exhibition committee and the council cf the Royal Dublin Society. The exhibition committee were perhaps somewhat sanguine and estimated their probable receipts at £9,529, and their outlay at only £6,740 , while the council of the Royal Dublin Society set down the receipts at £6,282, and the expenditure, reduced to the lowest figure, at £7,257. Tho exhibition com mittee calculated on a profit of £2,449 ; the council of the Royal Dublin Society apprehended a loss of £975. Out of the expenditure the council excluded £2,000 for covering in the Shelbourne yard, and the expenses inci dent upon a Fine Arts Exhibition. While the exhibition committee, encouraged by the great success of tho Fine Arts Exhibition of 1861, desired to add a similar attraction to the future exhibition, the committee also found it absolutely necessary to provide a very largo amount of space for the exhibition of Irish made machinery. E ven tually, however, the council p assed a. resolution to the effect that permission be given to roof in Shelbourue• yard, and also to extend the exhibition, so as to includ e a fine a rts gallery, provided N the otw RugoyeaelnDbue fairer bli than this.

B an k of Scotland note had been attempted to be passed in one of the banking establishments of our city, and that a number of spurious notes of the same kind were thought to be in circulation. The circumstance out of which the rumour arose is a very simple one, and we make it public with the view of allaying any anxiety that may exist in regard to the matter. About thirty years ago, the late Mr. Lizars engraved a bank-note plate for the Bank of Scot land, and when almost finished a proof of the engraving was cast on fine Indian paper, and being a remarkably clear and distinct copy it was laid aside, to be used on future occasions in the event of its being found in necessaryfo_ 1 to reto uc h th e li nes on th e engrave d p l ate . the - .CI note was accidently mislaid in Mr. Lizars This 17 07 i -ice: u and, having fallen into the hands of some one, was circulation. As the plate had not been finished w, and d when in the proof was printed, the flaw in the note wa s it was immediately withdrawn. It will be covered explanation that no apprehension need be fe l t seen from thi s lt of notts by the public as to there being any more of the same sp eci es existence.—Scotsman.
