SPOILS PROM THE SOUTH.—Numerons works of art of great interest and value which have not paid duty at the Custom-house or been known to belong to any of our local connexions aro constantly turning up at our picture sales. Others are to be found in the hands of the re. gular picture dealers, or are offered to collectors by private persons. When questions are put as to their ownership, there is generally some hesitation about answering them. Now, there is no difficulty in arriving at a conclusion as to the reason for this mystery. It is well known to those who have visited the South that in New Orleans and its neigh bourhood there were few families of any consideration that had not collections of paintings and statuary, picked up during their trips to Europe. Many of these acquisitions are to be seen among the works that have found their way into our auction. rooms. They are the °pima spolia, not of the brave conquerors of rebel soil, but of the vultures—for the most part Massachusetts Yankees—who follow in the train of our armies. These fellows pilfer everything thty can lay their hands upon, and works of art are especial objects of their covetness, from the large price which they bring. in New York. Wo have heard of one man—not a New Eng lander, however--who went to New Orleans almost without a shirt to his back, and who since his return has been en abled to purchase a handoome house up town with the pro ceeds of his picture stealing. We would advise purchasers to be cautious about buying any of the works thus offered for sale. Where mystery is maintained about the owner's name they may rest assured that the property has not been honestly come by ,--,New York. IZeral4, SHARESPEARLIti MONUME N TS, (From the Times.) Under this heading we propose to make a few remarks on two distinct though allied subjects —on the monume:tB to . Shakespeare which various persons are proposing to build in this the 300th year since he was born, and on what equally characterises the year, certain mostremarkable edi tions of those works which, " making us marble" with asto nishment, Milton has described as the poet's best monu ment. It is impossible to think of any monument to Shake speare without at the same time turning by way of contrast to the monument which Shakespeare has himself built—a memorial to all generations--set up not in any one place, but found in every country throughout the world and known to almost every tongue. Especially do we revert to the latter kind of memorial when we call to mind what our public monuments generally are. Very few are the monu ments of stone in which it is possible to excite the public enthusiasm. We have all in turn been pestered to join committees to build monuments. Most men that we know would gladly join a committee to put down monuments and to destroy the majority of our graven and our molten images. A society for the suppression of monuments, or at least for a thorough weeding and hoeing of them, would by no means be the least valuable of public institutions. I. It is taken for granted that in this 300th year since he was born something must be done in honour of Shakespeare. But why ? And what is the mystical value of 300 ? These centenaries are an abomination in the eyes of most sen sible men. We had first the Handel Centenary, and that was so successful because of the musical display which it was possible to produce at the Crystal Palace that it seems to have set people crazy. We had then in quick succession a glorification of Burns, the tercentenary of the Scottish Reformation, the bicentenary of English Nonconformity, and now we ore jisked to celebrate the tercentenary of Shakespeare's . birth. We have little sym pathy with these displays. They do not become us; they are remarkable for froth and emptiness; they generally lead to a mighty gush of spurious sentiment and screeching oratory; and they serve but the purposes of the smallest parasites and busybodies, who from a study of the working of committees have discovered that they are a grand modern invention, like the solar microscope, for magnifying ani malcules. Animalcules got up a great committee by certain well understood arts, and forthwith they look as big as the committee with all its big names. The little creatures are not without sentiment, and they base their committees on a superfine sentiment, which in the case of the centenaries is called hero worship, though in reality it is little better than a vain superstition. Now, hating these centenary displays very heartily, we allow that if an exception is to be made in favour of any, it might be in favour of one that does honour to Shakespeare, the greatest of all Englishmen, He is wor shipped among us even to idolatry, and we can look with kindliness on almost any decent absurdity by which our people propose to do homage to his name. But then, if any such extravagance is to gain our sympathy, it is essential that it should be decent, and that there should be an ap pearance of unanimity in it. We shrink from the selfish intrigues of petty cabals and from the inglorious squabbles of a committee which, proposing to direct the national taste is certain important matters, begins its work by several shocking exhibitions of bad taste. In honour of Shakespeare there are two committees at work—the one in Stratford, the other in London. Both claim to be regarded as national ; both declare that they are powerfully supported ; and yet both cannot succeed. There may be in the publio mind enough of sympathy for one ; there is not enough for two. One of the two must either be extinguished altogether or become auxiliary to the other. See what is wanted. Each of the committees proposes as the principal object of its scheme to build a monument. We do not like the idea of a monument at all. There are monuments enough. Above all, we stare at the suggestion that the foundation of the monument is to be laid on the 23d of April. In three months the money is to be collected, the site chosen, the artist appointed, the design drawn, and the first stone laid. It must be a wonderful committee that will do all this. And we are to have two magnificent monuments, worthy of the nation, worthy of Shakespeare. Where are they to come from? It would be a task of no ordinary difficulty to get one; two are impossible. We warn our literary friends not to be over sanguine. They may deem themselves lucky if they get money enough for one good monument, and the question is, shall this monu ment be at Stratford or in London. Our sympathy, in so far as we have any sympathy with the movement, goes to Stratford, both as a matter of necessity and from a sense of justice. The necessity lies herein that London stands for itself almost alone. The provincial towns are supporting Strat ford, and will continue to support it. Against the metro• polis the cry of centralisation has baen raised. Man chester, Birmingham, and, if we mistake not, Liverpool, have all declared for Stratford; and this is but a sign of wkat the provinces intend. They, and not only they, but all Europe and all America, when they give to Shakespeare a local habitation, think of him not in connection with Lon don, but in connection with Stratford, where he was born, where he was educated, where he married and had children, where his family seem always to have lived even when he mself was in London, where he visited them from year to year, where as he grew in wealth he bought house and lands, where he retired in the fulness of his strength to enjoy his days, where he died and where he now lies buried. He came to London to push his fortune and to make his re putation; but he left it soon; there was a prospect of long days before him in his native town, and ho died there in his prime, one year younger than Mr. Thackeray, Stratford, then, is the locality with which Shakespeare's name is chiefly associated, We of the metropolis are bound to re member this, and must not be selfish. The country towns have often assisted London, and it would be a graceful thing for London now to assist a small country town—Shake speare's town. All things conspire to' this end. For not only if London acted differently, would it f a il to o bt a i n in any i m portant degree the s u pp ort of the provinces ; it is divided against itself. W e cannot take part in t he feuds which dis tract a m e, m whatitt of ra is elegantly e l e gantly called the Nati ona l Shakespeare Committee London ; but there is no doubt that this co 4 0 er a s n i o n e a s . Who are the treemitteo has been ba dl y mana g ed, t hat its executive has not been wisely c hosen, and that it has lost, if it ever pos sessed, the public c onfidence, To thi s day the committee o f management is un known to the Public. It is true that in various circulars which we o n have all s e en the committee seine of high station i a s n described e repute.sc r ibed a But s ind these eP work ing committee? At a meetin g of t he large committee of 400:held the other day to decide Pon a report, not a fifth part of the grand li st attended ; those who did attend wer e at daggers drawn ; t he eating commit tee could not get their mane are of mere p , report passed; they were not allowed even to withdraw it; and they had to submit to the ignominy of its rejection by vote. After a vote of this kind, equivalent to a vote of cen sure, the acting committee, whoever they are, ought to re consider their position and their objects. There is nothing left for them but either to abandon their original project, or to constitute themselves into a London committee, auxiliary to the one at Stratford. In point of fact, a number of the names in their general committee, such as those of Lord . Carlisle, Lord Houghton, and Mr. Tennyson have already appeared on the Stratford list, and today it is announced that such men as Mr. loin Taylor, M. Theodore Martin, Mr. Shirley Brooks refuse to have anything g more to do with the London committee. Their example is sure to be fol lowed; the London committee seem doomed to failure, and should be warned in time. In whatever is done for the honour of Shakespeare unanimity is required, and our counsels are for peace and unanimity. w 0 _ speak with per fect impartiality, for we must repeat that the scheme of a monument finds no favour in our eyes, from whomsoever it Monument, where comes. countrymen, lies aofChair or Chairs in such pomp " that Kings for such a tomb would wish to shlalk.esWpeeerree,veenrsthtroinMedilitnonth' s e ideal ts of of a his Shakespeare's die." Our best thoughts about a monument will be a care for Shakespeare's works, and various schemes have been suggested to make manifest this care. Some plays ; endowment o others f proposea theat r suggest the at our Universities for the intelligent interpretation of SAakespeare ; a third party suggest the distribution of his works either gratuitously or at some very l ow price ; e the ffor rthe establishment performanceo f fourth advise the preparation of some splendid and unparal leled edition. The first of these schemes, involving the endowment of a Shakespearian theatre, has been proposed by Mr. Tom Taylor, Mr. Theodore Martin, and Mr. Shir ley Brooks, and looks the best ; it is, however, unnecessary to pronounce an opinion on any of them, because they are not fairly before the public. But we may bestow a few words of praise upon one or two private attempts to show care for Shakespeare's works. This year is remarkable for the appearance of two first-rate editions of Shakespeare, which if they are continued as they have been begun, will have a standard value.* Of these works the most curious is the reproduction by photo-lithography of the first folio edition of Shakespeare's plays. An instalment of the reproduction under Mr. Howard Staunton's superintendence has now been issued, and with it we are bound to notice the reduced reprint of Mr. Booth, The first edition of Shakespeare's works is still the most important and authoritative. That it is often erro neous we all know, but nitZt of us would agree with Mr. Dyce in thinking " that an exile: reprint of the old text, with its multifarious errors, forms a inure valuable contri bution to literature than a semi-correoted text, which, * Shakespeare : The _First Folio of 1623, reproduced by photo.lighography, under the supervision of Howard Stalin ton. London, Day and Son. Shakespeare: A Reprint of his Collected Works as Put Forth in 1823, Part 11, containing the liietories. London, L. Booth. The Works of William Shakespeare: The text revised by the Rev. Alexand er Dyee. iu 8 vole, .3101, 1. London, Chapman and Hail, purged here and there of the grossest blunders, continues still, almost in every page, to offend against sense and metre." How nearly the established texts approach to the original, and how much that original, as a whole, is superior in authority to the received versions, is proved by the demands that have been made for a reproduction—be it faea Leile or reprint—of the first folio. To meet the demand eontainint : the Comedies, was publi s h e d t w o years ago ; while the secon Mr. Beet, undertook a reduced reprint, of which the first part, Tart, containing the Hi s to r ies, made itsa t..l ppearance a few weeks back. To that work we can give the greatest praise. It is 8,:y1 )osed to be the most ac curate reprint which ever has been made, and there has evidently been such labour end love bestu'wed upon it as reflect the highest credit on Mr. Booth and 4 associates. The work, too, is wonderfully cheap; being of a reduced size it is very handy; and for ordinary purposes it is s;'ffi cient. Still, the art of photography can surpass it, and the first specimen of their photo-lithographic facsimile which Messrs. Day and Son have just turned out, under the care of Mr. Howard Staunton, will be regarded by Shakespearean scholars with unqualified satisfaction. It is not the original —that is all which can be said against it; but it is, we believe, as near the original as it is possible for any fac simile to be. The first folio was printed with an old, bat tered, and rather dirty type. Here the nick of an fis gone, which makes it look like the old form of s; there an eis so broken that it is indistinguishable from c ; some times a letter is so clogged with dirt that it is difficult to make it out ; often the type is out of gear, and the spaces are capricious. Mr. Booth's reprint gives a fair idea of these caprices ; he had a type specially cat for the pur pose. But, being a new, clean-cut type, it is scarcely able to compete with photo-lithography in reproducing all the vagaries of form which appear in a much-warn and blurred character. We have been at the pains to compare both Mr. Booth's and Mr. Staunton's work with the original, and are astonished at the minute accuracy of both—but of course in all the extremest minutice the photographic copy is pre-eminent. It must not be supposed in every case, however, that because a difference may be found between Mr. Booth's reprint and Mr. Staunton's facsimile that therefore one is wrong and the other right. Both may be right. There are differences between different copies of the first folio, for the work evidently underwent revision and correction as it passed through the press. Mr. Staun ton follows mainly the celebrated Ellesmere copy from the library of Bridgewater-house, in some respects the finest copy in the world. But turn to the 18th,page of the fac simile, and we shall find in the first column, " These are not natural evens," and in the second column, " Who how now Stephano ?"—both characteristic errors of the Elles mere folio. In the copy followed by Mr. Booth the phrases are given properly—" These :are not natural events," and " Why how now Stephano P" Both of the reproductions are right, and we give them both a welcome. They scarcely interefere with each other in competition. The reprint is cheap and purtable—the iacsimile is more expensive and less handy, but in so far as we have seen it is a miracle of accuracy that will rejoice the hearts of all true Shakespeareans. As rumours have gone abroad that the appearance of such a facsimile by means of photo-lithography would be an impossibility, it is pleasant - now to see the best contradic tion of such a report in the actual appearance of the work. We have not examined every page, but those we have scru tinised yield convincing proof that the process is a trust worthy one. And if any infinitesimal errors should bo dis covered by other eyes, it should be remembered that this first part is the most difficult of all to copy, because the earlier pages of the Ellesmere volumes are in a less satis factory condition than the body of the work, The printing, for example, on one side of a page shows, through age, on the other side; and the photographer has peculiar difficul ties to encounter in getting rid of this appearance. The portrait of Shakespeare by Droeshout on the titlepage of the Ellesmere folio is a wonderfully fine example of the famous engraving, and in reproducing its delicate shades Mr. Staunton's process has been less successful than in copying the caprices of typography. This, however, was to have been expected, and rough as the copy is, it is, we believe, as near an approach to a facsimile as at present it is possible to obtain of any fine artistic work. The fac simile of these 64 pages cannot but surprise any one who looks into it; and what a treasure it is may he estimated from the fact that a copy of the original folio has sold for £250. Concurrently with Mr. Staunton another Shakspearean scholar comes with a remarkable edition. It is Mr. Dyce, the chief living authority in this kind of scholarship. His work is announced as a second edition, but in reality it is quite new. In his former edition of Shakespeare he ad hered slavishly to the text of the copies whenever by any possibility a meaning could be twisted out of it, in this re spect following most of the recent editors. But the Cam bridge editors have carried slavishness to such an ex treme that he has been startled into common sense, and abjures their superstition. The Cambridge edition of Shakespeare has been highly praised, not for its text, which shows a great lack of judgment, but for the collation which accompanies it. Now, however, we shall have to give it the praise of having given rise indirectly to the best text of Shakespeare which has yet appeared. Mr. Dyce has expres , ed a hope that in ceasing to be a timid editor ho has not become a rash one. There is so much of slavish ness in Shakespearean criticism that possibly he will not escape from this imputation, but he shall not hear it from us. Perhaps an example will best illustrate the sort of charges to which he will be exposed. In the first scene of the Tempest, Gonzalo, on board ship, says, according to the first folio, " Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground—Long heath, brown furze, anything. The wills above be done I but I would fain die a dry death." The vast majority of editions follow this reading, because a sense can be wrung out of it. Sir Thomas Hanmer proposed an emendation—" Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground—ling, heath, broom, furze, any thing ;" and to support this suggestion there is in Harrison's Description of Britain, prefixed to Hollin shed's Chronicles, a work which it it is known that Shake speare used, a passage where "Broom, heath, furze, brakes, whin, ling" are mentioned as characteristics of barren ground. Most persons would accept this quotation as con clusive, even it they were not quite satisfied beforehand that Sir Thomas Hanmer's conjecture restored the sentence to its proper balance. But Shakespearean editors are a stiff necked generation, and are not soon convinced of error. They showed some hankering after the new reading, but could never summon courage to adopt it. Mr. Dyce himself did not adopt it in his last edition. He is now so dis g usted with the inanities of timid editing that, in effect, he says boldly, "This will never do. Editing is of no use if it cannot cor rect obvious mistakes. The folio pure and simple is far better than a semi-corrected folio." So he accepts Han mer's emendation, and we make bold to say he is right. Although Mr. Dyce is the most learned of Shakespeare's editors, and though he is the chief authority on most ques tions of verbal criticism connected with our old poets, the respect which we pay him is not unqualified, In the first place, he wants originality of conception. He seldom originates, however he may adopt, an emendation. In this respect he is far behind Mr. Staunton, who as a verbal critic is the most original of Shakespeare's recent editors. Still more is he behind the late Mr. Sidney Walker, to whose critical notes he is largely indebted. In the next place, he is rather captious in his style, and snaps at other critics in such a small way that he fails to inspire everybody with confidence in a judgment which seems so apt to cavil. He cavils at innocent though, perhaps, vague expres sions, and we maintain that he does himself injustice. Lastly, in a number of instances, he errs in his critical judgment. Thus, for example, every one knows the cele brated speech of Prospero on the insubstantial nature of all earthly things, which ends with the phrase "leave not a rack behind." Mr. Dyce insists that it should be " wreck," and put this into his text. The reason is that though there are examples in our old writers of " the rack," as applied to the clouds, he cannot find an instance in which " a rack" is used in the same sense. This is scarcely cogent enough to justify the change, So, again, with the Cambridge editors ho persists is not seeing the chronological value which attaches to "it" as a possessive case. As the pos sessive of " it" we have in Shakespeare various forms—it, its, his. In our day the second of these forms has banished the others ; in Shakespeare's time it was but coming into use. Mr. Dyce thinks that in this respect we ought to modernize Shakespeare, and banish from his pages a recog nised grammatical form of the time because it does not suit modern ears. There is no room for argument here. We can only say that scholars will not thank him for obliterat ing from the page what is one of the most curious land marks of the language. If we find in Shakespeare such a line as, "The innocent milk in it most innocent mouth," this, as part of the grammar of the time, is as much entitled to preservation as if we had found in the same line the mo dern " its." Once more Mr. Dyes follows the Cambridge editors (theoretically, however, not really) in dealing with another grammatical peculiarity which we find in Shake speare. A noun plural with a verb singular is of fre quent occurrence in Shakespeare. How is an editor to deal with such a construction ? The Cambridge editors de cree that when this form of construction proceeds from the lips of any low fellow it may be allowed to remain ; if it comes from a Prince or any of the higher personages it should be corrected, because it will not do to let Princes speak grammar which offends a modern ear. We laughed at this canon of the Cambridge editors as worthy of Jenkins. To our amazement Mr. Dyce says in his preface that the rule of Jenkins is right; only he takes care not to follow it in his text. In another respect, also, he dissents from the Cambridge editors. He has no mercy on their crude ideas as to Shakespeare's versification, and ho follows a much safer guide, Mr. Sidney Walker. Mr. Walker, however, was rather extreme in his views—we are all apt to go to extremes when we are merely jotting our opinions in note books. This very able man never learnt the caution which PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. an attempt really to edit Shakespeare would have taught him—his works are all posthumous, and they require to be read warily. Mr. Dyce seems to us inclined to follow him to implicitly, Dr. Guest goes to one extreme in his ideas of Shakespeare's versification ; Walker goes to the other, and would cut and carve the poet's lines with arithmetical regularity. This is surely a middle course. Notwithstanding these objections to Mr. Dyce's edition, it is a great work, worthy of his reputation, and for the present it contains the standard text. Two such editions of Shakespeare in one year as Mr. Staunton's facsimile of the first folio and Mr. Dj ce's final revision of the text are an honourable testimony to the regard in which the poet's memory is hold, and are the best signs of a Monument which we can discover. NATIONAL SHAKSPERE COMMITTEE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The undersigned, feeling it incumbent upon them to withdraw from the National Shakspere Committee, aro desirous of stating their reasons for doing so. Their strong anxiety that a national tribute to our greatest poet should be worthy of its object, and their equally strong conviction that those who have assumed the direction of the movement do not comprehend, and therefore will not satisfy the expectations of the nation, have compelled them to take the unpleasant step of separating themselves from gentle men with whom they have endeavoured to co-operate. Without dwelling upon the irregular and unbusiness-like character of the proceedings of the executive body, the un dersigned complamed that more than half a year has been wasted in procuring a list of names which would have been given in without solicitation, had a practical and worthy scheme been laid before the public. It was not until December last that the question of the site of the proposed memorial was referred to a sub-com mittee for consideration, and the all-important question of the nature of the memorial was not taken up until the pre • sent month. At this moment—within little more than three months from the 23d of April—the committee is as ignorant as the public where the memorial is to be placed, and what it is to be. That a monument worthy of Shakspere, and to be reared by the united energies of the three kingdoms and the 50 colonies, can he devised, discussed, and accepted by the country within a few weeks, is an idea too absurd to be en tertained by a nation of practical men who hold Shakspere in befitting reverence. Had the executive a due appreciation of their task, it might have been possible to arrange some pleasant celebra tion for the 23d of April, while teking time to consider the question of memorial with the care it demands ; but the executive, having wasted so much time, are now endeavour ing to hurry matters, and in order to do so have obtained leave to take a step which must deprive the memorial of a national character. The general committee, after showing its estimate of its executive by rejecting a draught report prepared and im properly put into circulation by that body as the report of the committee, followed up what was in effect a vote of censure, by appointing a sub-committee to prepare another document to be issued to the public. This sub-committee unanimously decided that it would be premature to address the public until the site and memorial committees should have reported. It was agreed that it would be absurd to make such an appeal in the absence of a definite object. On Monday last this report was presented to a meeting of the general committee, and was approved by it. The general committee, after it had thus decided that it was in no condition to address the nation, having no infor mation to communicate, was induced to stultify that deci sion by voting that the public should be appealed to, and moreover that it should be asked for a definite sum. It had occurred to somebody that the memorial ought to cost £30,000, and that this notion should be presented to the nation, which, however, was to be at liberty to give more if it pleased, and was to bo assured that any surplus should be laid out philanthropically. This final blunder, the conclusion of a series, appears to the undersigned to be fatal. They are therefore compelled to withdraw from co-operation in a scheme which, as at present managed, must end in discreditable failure, and draw down universal contempt upon English protessions of reverence for Shakspere.

Her Majesty's Paddle Yacht Alberta. -------- This new yacht, of 391 tons and 161-horse power of en gines, recently launched from Pembroke dockyard, and now fitting at Portsmouth for her Majesty's private service, was tried a second time under steam at Portsmouth yesterday and on this occasion under the personal supervision of Rear Admiral R. S. Robinson, Controller of the Navy, who was accompanied by Rear-Admiral George Elliot, the energetic superintendent of Portsmouth dockyard. Captain H. Broadhead, commanding the Steam Reserve of the port and her Majesty's ship Asia, had the command of the yacht, the detailed working of the trial being carried out by Messrs. Murray and 'Ward, of the dockyard steam fac tory, and Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat, Mr. Credo*, master shipbuilder of the yard, and part of his staff were also on board. The conditions of yesterday's trial were very different to those attending her trial on Thursday last, and as reported in the S un of the following day. On that occasion she drew 7ft lin of water aft, and 6ft 10in forward, being thus 3in by the stern. Yesterday she was trimmed at an equal draught forward and aft, or " on an even keel," to use a technical phrase, and this at a draught at starting of 6ft Min. This, as will be seen ; gave the ship a less average draught of water and conse quently considerably loss displacement yesterday than on Thursday, and had therefore an important bearing in rela tion p the ship's speed and her behaviour under steam, and especially so at full power. This alteration in the vessel's draught was attained by taking all her movable weights that could be possibly spared out of her—such as her anchors and chains, boots' davits (the latter massive enough for a frigate), &c., and starting her with only 14 tons of coal in her bunkers, in lieu of 25 tons as on Thursday, and only partially replacing those removed weighty by nine tons of iron ballast on the upper deck, which served as trimming ballast during the trial. Shortly after noon, the Controller having arrived on board, the Alberta turned ahead and left Portsmouth har bour for the measured mile in Stokes Bay, gradually in creasing the revolutions of her engines until reaching the maximum number on Thursday-49—when she was placed on the mile, and a pair of runs taken with full-boiler power with the following results : Time. Speed. Revolutions in. S. Knots. of Engines. First run.... 3 58 15.126 49 Second run.. 3 44 16.071 49 Steam, 271 b; vacuum, 26k. The mean of the two runs gave the ship a speed of 15.59 S knots against 15.161 knots obtained with full-boiler power on Thursday's trial. These two runs were deemed sufficient with full-power, and the ship was then run off the mile ground and through Spithead, to give time for blowing the water out of the two after boilers, and trying her next over the mile with her two forward boilers, or half-boiler power. In trying the yacht with half-boiler power on Thursday it was done in the ordinary manner—simply by shutting off one-half the boilers. By, however, getting rid of the water altogether from the two boilers cut off yesterday the yacht got rid of so much weight, and the result of this measure was that on the required amount of ballast halving been shifted from forward to aft to still keep the vessel on an even keel the ship's draught of water was reduced from Eft 101 in to 6ft Sin. Under these very advantageous condi tions a pair of runs were taken over the mile with those re sults : Time. Speed. Revolutions m. s. Knots. of Engines. First run.... 422 13'740 411 Second run.. 4 0 15.000 41 Ship's mean speed of the two runs, 14.307 knots, again st 14.244 knots on Thursday. The diffe rence in the gain in speed between the full and half power runs is a s ufficient proof that the vessel is overweighted, or perhaps, speaking with a more correct definition, that the engines and hull are out of proportion to each other. The difference in spee i d in the runs obtained yesterday, an d those of Thursday s due solely to the decreased draught of water and consequent hull displacement. This latter c ircumstanc e, together with the fact that yesterday the y acht was sailed on an even keel, instead of three inches by the stern as o n Thursday, also doubtless had considerable effect in reducing the size of the rolling waves of broken water which curl in under the vessel's quarters aad rise up on the bluff of the bows. Yes terday, although, as wehave said, these unpleasant accom paniments to a vessel's course were reduced in size, they were not prevented, and the Alberta under full-power car ries with her on her course a perfect tempest o f a sea w h en the water clear o f her is, comparatively speaking, smooth as a mill-pond. Yesterday's trial gav e no reason f or mate rially altering the opinion expressed relative to the form of the Alberta's hull in the report of the trial which appeared in The Sun of Friday last. It may be considered possible to explain existing de fects to a certain e x t en t by re f err i ng io the restrictions laid upon the designers relative to her length and draught of Water, but this would not meet the entire case, nor, indeed, should explanations at all be needed to render perfect in the p resen t d a y a yacht spe cially designed and constructed for the service of tilt Queen. It is very probable that the visit of the Controller to the yacht yesterday will cause some alterations in seve ral portions of her fittings, which are almost as unartistic in their character as is the hull.

The increase of mortality announced in the previous return was fully maintained last week, and the effect of the late low temperature has now become perceptible to its full extent in the register of deaths. In the week that ended Saturday, 9th of January, the deaths registered were 1,798; in the week ending 16th January, they were 2,427. The average number in the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1854.63 was 1,409, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,550. Hence, the deaths of last week exceeded the estimated amount by 877. These per sons were killed almost suddenly by the cold wave of the atmosphere. In comparing the present results with those of the pre vious week, a great increase is apparent in diseases of the respiratory organs. Fatal cases of pneumonia rose from 91 to 156 ; of phthisis (or consumption), from 194 to 235 ; of bronchitis, from 326 to 543. Of the 2,427 persons who died, 918 were under 20 years of age, 800 were 20 and under 60 years, and 809 were 60 years and upwards. Taking the numbers living at the re spective ages into account, it appears that, while persons at all ages have suffered, the severity of the weather has been particularly fatal to persons in advanced life. Well heated apartments and warm clothing are required at this season by the aged, who find it difficult to support life when the temperature falls below the freezing point. Three hundred and ninety-nine deaths occurred last week from zymotic diseases, including 90 from scarlatina, 78 from typhus, 73 from whooping cough, 32 from measles, and 18 from smallpox. A tanner, aged 60 years, was found dead on the 2d of January from intemperance, cold, and expo sure; he lived in a room without furniture, at 1, Drum mond-road, Bermondsey. A shoemaker, aged 60 years, died in a cab on the 6th of January from exhaustion from exposure to cold. A bootcloser, aged 25 years, died at 2, Queen-street, Southwark, from spasm of the heart, accle ' rated by want of nourishment and by cold. Twelve none genarians died during the week, of whom the oldest was a widow, who attained the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 1,026 boys and 993 girls, in all 2,019 children, were registered in London. In the 10 cor• responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average numbers (corrected) was 1,985. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.054 in. The barome trical reading increased from 29.80 at the beginning of the week to 30'18 in. on Wednesday. Th 9 mean temperature of the air in the weak was 36.8 deg., which is 1.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 461 deg. on Monday. The lowest night temperature was 29%9 deg, on Friday. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 16'8. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 36'2 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3.6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, complete saturation being represented by 100. The general direc tion of the wind was south-east. ' Yom _- 7/,2 Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The shipwrights engaged in plating Mr. Reed's experi mental ironcascd sloop Enterprise are ordered to work over a portion of the night in order to hasten the work, so that the ship may be got off the stocks at Deptford on Feb. 9, one day sooner than was anticipated. Commander Rowley, who has commissioned the Enterprise, has been informed that in all probability for destination will be the China Seas, which is considered an ill-julged decision, as these waters are not suited for an experimental trial. Tho Clara, convict ship, has arrived at Spithead from the eastward to embark a number of convicts from the Ports mouth prison on her way down Channel. She is to touch at Portland and Plymouth. An additional number of mechanics and laborers have been removed from the other vessels in progress It Chatham dockyard in order to be employed in preparing the ironwork for Mr. Reed's new frigate Bellerophon, which will be com menced in the dock in which she is intended to be con structed as soon as the new iron caisson has been fitted in its place at the entrance to the second dock. I n the factory adjoining the dock the foundations are being prepared by Messrs. Foord and Sons for the erection of more powerful machinery than any at present in use in the dockyard for bending, plaining, polishing, sktting, and otherwise preparing the thick iron plates with which it is intended to encase the sides of the Bel lerophon. In consequence of the numerous vessels now in hand at Chatham dockyard and the anxiety evinced by the Admiralty for the completion of the iron and iron-clad vessels actually commenced, it is probable that a consider able number of hands will shortly be required to be entered, the existing number of workmen being far below that neces sary to be employed to complete the new iron-clads ordered by the Admiralty within the period assigned for their con struction. A further trial of the coffer-dam invented by Captain llop, R.N., is to take place on board her Majesty's ship Recruit to-morrow morning, when that vessel takes a trip to the Nore to try her speed, &c., under the superin tendence of the officers of the reserve at Sheerness. The new naval uniforms are, we understand, deposited at the Admiralty, Whitehall, fer the inspection of those per sons interested. The following appointments and promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. the Hon. Harry A'Court to the Prince Consort, for gunnery duties---Lieut.

The weather was exceedingly favourable for the trial, tho water being smooth, with the wind at a force of about 3 from S.W. THE ARMY. The whole of the 13th Brigade Garrison Artillery, in com mand of Col. Buchanan, was yesterday paraded at Wool wich, in order to promote the identification of certain per sons connected with the death by violence of a pensioner of the Royal Artillery, who was severely injured a few even ings ago at the " Gun," a licensed public-house opposite the north arch, leading to the barracks of the Royal Artil lery. It appears that this house has for some time past been frequented by parties of soldiers for gamboling pur poses. The deceased joined one of these parties, and on the evening alluded to a dispute took place which resulted in a fight. The deceased was severely injured in the head, and died soon after his removal to his own home. One of the party only was arrested, namely, M`Guire, a gunner of the 13th Brigade, who was sworn to by the landlord and his potman as one of the men whom he had seen maltreat ing tb.e deceased. The remainder of the party were sup posed to belong to the same brigade, consequently the whole of the brigade was yesterday drawn out on the open parade, and the landlord and his potman, accompanied by a civilian who happened to be at the house when the occur rence took place, attended. After walking down the line, and scanning the features of each man, they stated that they could not recognise any one of the corps as being pre sent on the evening in question, and the brigade was dis missed to quarters. Yesterday the Chatham battalion of Royal Marino Light Infantry, under the command of Lieut.-Col. W. F. Foote, left head •quarters, and proceeded by the divisional band, marched some distance into the country, taking the direc tion of the Gravesend-road, and marching as far as Gad's hill. The division returned to quarters early in the after noon. The system of marching out will shortly terminate on the commencement of the weekly field-day inspections 1 on Chatham lines. THE BISHOP OF ELY'S WlLL—Those who had come to pay the last tribute of respect to the vener able bishop were requested to return to the house and hear the will read ; and the last act of his life is quite charac teristic of this pious man. After providing for his servants and leaving one or two legacies, he has bequeathed the whole of his remaining property to public charities sud so cieties. Amongst those enumerated are the Christian Knowledge Society, the Gospel Propagation Society, the National Society, the Curates' Aid Society, and others of a like nature; the Charing-cross 11 , spital, Addenbroake's Hospital, Bury St. Edmunds Infirmary, and the Bedford Infirmary.—Bedford Times. A PARISIAN REFUGE.—The following interest ing statement is taken from the Paris letter of the Birmangham. Tournal:—" An appeal has been made for aid to establish one or two of the night refuges like those al ready successful in London, and no doubt when the troops return from Mexico this will be accomplished. The noble effort made by Madlle. Jamblain for providing for women condemned to roam the streets at night is the only thing of the kind to be met with in Paris. This lady, the daughter of a poor gendarme, and left at his death in the most straitened circumstances, has found means to hire a house, where, at any hour of the night, females of every class requiring rest, warmth, and repose, may find a re fuge from the cold night air and the muddy streets. The great merit of the foundation is the truly Jhristian spirit which opens the Refuge to all alike without dis tinction of caste or creed, age or antecedents. How many poor lone and deserted females have been rescued by this timely aid from a life of infamy or a despairing death I From sunset till nine in the evening the door is open— every female who chooses may walk in and ask for a night's accommodation—after that hour the gate is closed. Mdlle. Jamblain goes herself to open at summons of the bell. She merely asks who is there ? On the answer being given, she requests the petitioner to get herself accompanied to the gate by the agent of police on duty for the night, which, if the applicant be honest, she of course has no objection to do—if the contrail, she disappears, and is seen no more. During the severe cold of last week, Mdlle Jamblain ia formed me that the great bell of the establishment was going the whole night long. " The house was so said she, " I was compelled to give up the little leather sof& in the ante-room to the poorest and most miserable looking app licant of all. And w ou ld you believe it, when called u pon to subscribe her n ame i n the register of the establish ment, which, by the p o li ce regulations, every visitor i s as celebrated d sh f e or pr f o a y sh ed ion to an be d an beauty old compelled Countess, to do on formerly as the Countess de Castiglione at this moment. She had been refused admission to the miserable lodging she had been occupying for some time past, not being able to pay up the arrears, and had wandered about the streets in the piercing cold until midnight, when she suddenly remem bered the brutal taunt of the coarse landlady of the lodg ing, " Go to the Refuge; it's quite good enough for those who can't pay," and had reflected that the advice which had raised her bitter indignation at the moment was none so bad after all. " She came straight hither," said Mdlle. Jamblain, " and it was high time, for had she delayed much longer, she too would have been frozen to death on the highway. But, soon cheered by the warmth and the secu rity, she grew as merry as a cricket, forgot all her sorrows, and talked and laughed with as much ease as she mast have been wont to do in former times at her chateau in Melun." Mdlle. Jamblain is not supposed to feed her visitors, only to provide a good fire and comfortable Fed, nevertheless the sight of the starvation to which the applicants for admission were mostly reduced was more than she could bear, she boldly called upon Providence to help her, and the form taken to grant her request was that of the Petit Serninaire, the cook of which establishment, a good honest soul, puts by the scraps left from the pupils' table, which Mdlle. Jam blain blain fetches away. And this is all she has t o offer: ex supper of her numerous guests, but with much Bto ‘ l3 l fi s ion tending, and " pro:onging," as she calls 1, The night re becomes multiplied like the loaves and fisheBl • id either from fuge is thus carried on without pecuniar y a authorities, and the Government or even any of the localr ecord of what can serves as one of the noblest examples be accomplished by the single e fforts of one individual, earnest, willing, and ene r g etic in the cause of humanity like Jamblain."
