Liverpool Commercial-buildings, Water-street Nothing has been more remarkable, in connection with the Progress of Lancashire, than the rapid extension of the Witeam Trade of LiverpooL In the year 1852 the tonnage of foreign steamers entered inwards at the Custom-house was 188,715 tons, while in 1862 it was 695,339, which, in the year ending* June, 1843, increased to 756,420 tons. In the earlier days of steam, and before the recent improve ments for the economy of fuel had 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 been employed in all the near trades for the conveyance of goods, with large profit to their owners, but, owing to the advantages which they afford to shippers, they have, in these trades, almost entirely displaced sailing vessels. For some years the carrying trade out of Liverpool has been gradually undergoing a change. In the Amer. can trade screw steamers have taken the place of the once celebrated New York liners, but as yet only as carriers of the highest class of line goofs 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, Viz., those of grain, flour, and provisions, the loss annually sustained by heating aurinte the protr .cted voyages fre quently made by salting vessels is s o great, t h at the interest of all scheme engaged in these tr a d es w i ll be enlisted ing favour of any for the ext steam to include such freight, eno and there c e in nsio be n no of doubt but that the whole of the rm'Jus trade in these articles, which in Liverpool the alone aIRCAIIitS annually to 750,000 tons, will fail entirely into hand s of steam comnanies. The first bbject of thi-, Company is to place o n th e N ew 'York station a fleet of screw steamers from Liverpool and London, of large size and great capacity, which wilt be able to carry almost, if' not quit; 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 Cotton Ports when the war is brought to an end and the trade re -opened, and have also under their consideration the Welts of the Brazil and othertrades. In organising this Company the Directors believe that it 'Will not enter into undue competition with the existing lines. The Cunard Line is a subsidised company, carrying the Mails and passengers with fast and expensive steamers. The Inman Line has no s übsid y, but nevertheless has been Most successful, and it now employs eleven vessels, having commenced its operations with two steamers, the City of Glasgow and City of Manchester. The steamships of the Inman Line are, however, of greater proportidnate horse power than those projected by this Company, which will be sailed at much less 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 passengers, they will be able to carry sufficient fuel 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 antlepated, 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 cant), and it is proposed to canmence 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, ant London to 111 , extent the metropolitan trade may require. The ships will be built uneer 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 Direcrors have secured to tit s 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. he Pacific Steam Navigation Company, whose shares,xso paid, are sell ing at £7B per share, has out of profits g i ven to it s share holders n ew 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 smaller than those this Ccmpauy intend to possess, have reaped like results. The Directors have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a very great success to the undertaking. They are not en tering upon an experiment, but are providing for this Com pany a similar description of vessel, but of larger size, , han those which have proved so l emunerative to severat well known private firms engaged 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, to ensure profitable 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-stook companies, which rn,,y embrace the co-operation of shippers an of others interested, instead of by private capital eta as heretofore ; the result being that the supporters of this line will become interested in its suc cess, Applications 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 110 application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

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 Comoany will at once enter upon a business ascertained to be of highly re munerative nature, with all the advantages of local know ledge and exrerience of the respective loreign mat kets. '1 he Company will avoid costly establishments abroad which absorb so large a portion Os 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 manufactures of this country under documentary bills, or consigned 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 NTH 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 description 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. _ _ _ _ Applications 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 Etonian is a worthy companion of the Rugby boy, whom he resem bles in many respects.

Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. Excepting, therefore, that many of the bake houses were in a filthy condition, and required sanatory improvement, the results of the inspection were generally satisfactory ; and Dr. Letheby recommended that orders should be given for the cleansing of certain bakehouses that were specified, and for the enforcing of provisions with regard to ventilation, &c. THE NAVY. The success which has attended the adoption of the double, or twin, screw principle in England and America during the past three years has invested it with great interest. To Captain Carpenter, R.N., we are undoubtedly first indebted for the introduc tion of the twin screws ; but the first advance of moment in its practical demonstration was made by Mr. G. Rennie in 1852, followed up in 1857 by the same firm, in constructing several gunboats on the same principal for Indian river service. From some cause difficulties appear to have existed, for no greet success seems to have been attained, as the principle was not followed up, and a strong feel ing certainly existed against its adoption for either mercantile or warlike purposes. The single screw, with all its acknowledged faults, accordingly held its own against all comers. The double mersus single screw has been a subject of strong controversy at the meetings of the Society of Arts, the Royal United Service Institution, and other places where such matters are discussed, as well as of lengthy correspondence and editorial articles in the profes sional journals, especially since the Messrs. Dud geon, of Millwall, have adopted the principle, and have begun to launch from their building yard nearly one double screw steamer per month. The doings of these vessels on their trial trips have been recorded in these columns, and now the Admiralty have adopted the principle in the construction of some iron-plated gunboats which are about to be laid down for the Royal Navy, taking the data ob tained by their officers from Messrs. Dudgeon's trial trips for their guide. Through this long interval, however, of partial and complete success for the twin screws, Captain Thomas E. Symonds, R.Ne a nephew of Sir William Symonds, once Sur veyor of the Navy, has been their most earnest and pereistent advocate, and the triumph of the twin screw is, in fact, the triumph of the plan that officer has so long advo cated. It is, however, doubtful how far at present the twin may supersede the single screw. In the Royal Navy it may possibly only be adopted in vessels specially built to carry a heavy armament and large engine power at a moderate draught of water, and which may be designed for operations on a line of coast, or off harbours,—as a coast de fence vessel, in fact, and therefore requiring a power of turning shortly such as only two screws can give. It is difficult, however, to say where the line can be drawn, for draught of water and power of manoeuv ring are of equal importance with speed. On the 22d of April last, at a meeting of the Society of Arts, Rear-Admiral the Hon. Joseph Denman, who was in the chair, said, with reference to our large iron clads,—" He had no doubt two or three ships of smaller size would be fatal antagonists to such yes ! eels as the Minotaur or Northumberland, if the smaller vessels possessed a superior power of turning by means of double screws." Turning, however, from opinion to facts it will be found that the Ame ricans have very largely adopt ed the twin screws for their men-of-war. The loss of the ironclad ram Indianola was attributed, by the accounts of the American papers, to her " i na bility to manceuvre." to two small The writer says, — " S he fell a p re y gunboats having a power of turning to a high de gree. They could ram h er first on one side, then on the other, till the mailed giant was beaten to death." These two gunboats were driven by twin er ew s. The Naug atuck, another American gunboat, screws. The with twin screws, and carried a 200 pounder Parrott gun on a fixed carriage. By the power of her screws the vessel is trained at the object, and the gun thus brought in a line of fire. The John Nelson, a v essel used for transporting th e mail trains across the Deleware River, is driven by twin screws, and has to turn end for end at every trip in order to deliver the train at the same end it entered. She is 225 ft. long, and is stated to often perform the manoeuvre in a strong current choked with ice in from 1 min. 20 sec. to 1 min. 30 sec. A twin vesse l i s now building in America to mount two monster guns of 50 tons each. These guns will be on fixed carriages, will be fired at point blank ran ge , and will be brought to bear upon the object fired at, like the gun of the Naugatuck, by the screws re volving the ship. This is the po s iti on of the twin screw s ystem in England and A mer i ca at the pre sent time, and the civil war now raging in America will supply the means of testing its usefulness for ships of war. In a paper read Capt.by Symonds o n twin screws in April l as t , that officer advocates double keels and rudders for twin screw vessels, and gives as his reasons that by applying twin screws to single keel ship s o f the present form the inter vening dead wood is a serious obstacle to their per fect action ; it divides and materially reduces the column of 'water coming to the inner arms of the screws, increases friction, and causes a series of shocks that produce vibration. The vessels which Capt, Symonds and 'Mr. Roberts, C.E., conjointly propose for construction for twin screws are designed for double keels, with a rudder in the line of each keel, and nearly in a line with each screw shaft, with the two keels cellular, and a cellular bottomt worked up into the engine frames fo r strength. These propositions, however, are purely profes sional, and we feel confident that w ith Mr. Reed in the office of chief constructor of the navy, they, together with the whole princiPlo an d adaptation of the twin screw systems will _receive conside ration which their importance de that Mands. have been received at Admiralty instructions Ch a tham, notifying' that the Lords of the Admiralty have piney(' the paddlewheel steamer Vivid, 2, 100- h orse p o wer, Comm a nder W.

(From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return,) The number of deaths registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday was 1,252, which is almost the same as that of the previous week. In a comparison of the two weeks there is an increase in deaths that occurred trader 20 years of age ; they rose from 656 to 687, while the deaths at 60 years of age and upwards declined from 221 to 188. The average number of deaths in ten correspond ing weeks (viz., the 44th in each of the years 1853-62), with a correction for increase of popula tion, is 1,224. The excess in last week is not great; it is equal to four deaths on each day of the week. Smallpox declines by slow degrees ; it was re turned in 19 cases in the week. The mortality from measles is not high at the present time; the deaths from it were 16, and not quite as many as those from smallpox. But, while the cases of measles occurred entirely among children, nine of the 19 cases of smallpox happened to persons who were .15 years of age and upwards. By far the most destructive of the epidemic di. seases at the present time is scarlatina,which carried off 117 children and three adults in the week. The most recent returns indicate a slight reduction in the mortality from that disease. The average number of deaths f rom i t i n the three weeks ending 10th of OctOber w as 149 ; ending last Sat ur d ay i s 123. the average for the three weeks Five deaths f rom scarlatina were reg i stere d i n Kentish-town, s i x i n naggerston East, 11 in Beth nal-green, six in Mile-end Old•town, seven in Green. wich and Deptford. Pulmonary complaints are now on the increase. The deaths from phthisis rose to 161 in the week, those from bronchitis to 116, thou) from pneumonia to 85. A child died of "peritonitis accelerated by want of sufficient nourishment ;" a boy, aged 12 years, of " effusion on the chest from want of proper food ;" the wife of a salesman, aged 42 years, from "con sumption accelerated by want of food and proper attendance." A girl, aged 16 years, died from chloroform ad ministered before an operation. A widow died at the age of 95 years. Last week the births of 962 boys and 873 girls, [n till 1,835 children were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1853-62 the average number (corrected) was 1,882. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.521 inches. The reading was 29.99 inches on the morn ing:of Sunday ; it fell to 28.80 inches on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45.7 deg., which is 1 . 3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean temperature was below the average on five days. The lowest night tempera ture was 34.7 deg. on Tuesday. The highest day temperature was 562 deg. on Wednesday. The range of temperature in the week was therefore 21.5 deg. The mean daily range was 14 . 8 deg. The difference between the mean dew-joint temperature and air temper a t ure was 3 . 5 dei. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, complete saturation being represented by 100. The air was very moist nearly all the we e k, an d on three days the humidity was not much sh ort o f saturation. The wind was in the south-west on the last four days. Rain fell frequently on Friday ; and at half-past 3 o'clock on the afternoon of that day there was a heavy squall of wind, which recorded a pressure of 29,11 b. on the square foot, which is greater than any other recorded within the last 20 years. The temperature fell 10 deg. at that time;' and the wind suddenly changed from south by west to west by north. The amount of rain in the week was 0.47 in., of which 0.32 in. fell en Friday. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 54.8 deg. ; that of the loiltest was 52.6 deg. The members of this commission met yesterday at Guildhall under the presidency of Deputy De Jersey. The CHAIRMAN laid before the Court a communi cation which had been received from the Metropo litan Board of Works relative to the carrying out of an improvement in Mansion-house-street, by setting back certain premises for the purpose of widening the thoroughfare. The new street to be carried out by that board from Blackfriars-bridge to the Mansion-house would require that Mansion honse-street should be widened, and the Metropoli tan Board had agreed at their last meeting to con tribute one half of the cost of an improvement at that spot, the cost being estimated, approximately, a t £5,200. The board further resolved that the a mount of the contribution, £2,600, should be paid on a certificate from the architect of the board of the completion and cost of the work. The chairman added that the Improvement Committee had met that morning, and had referred it to the engineer to negotiate with the owners of the property re quired for the purpose of carrying out the improve ment. The Court approved of the steps taken by the co mmittee relative to this matter. Mr. HENRY MATTILEW made a few remarks as to the proposed widening of Gracechurch street, and said that as it was now decided that the church of St. Benet Gracechurch should be r emoved, he thought some steps should be taken by the Commission for carrying out this most de sirable improvement. The CHAIRMAN explained that the subject was at the present time before the Improvement Commit tee, and:that they had instructed the engineer to in quire and report to them in reference to the proposed improvement. Deputy PEWTRESS thought that, application should be made to the Metropolitan Board of Works and to the Common Council for contribu tions before the Commissi oners d ec id e d to carry out the i m provement. (H ear, h ear.) The matter then dropped. The ENGINEER (Mr. Hayward) stated that he and Dover Rail way C ompany, intimating had received a c ommunication from th e L on d on , Chatham, a they would be read y to pull down the property on Ludgate-hill next week, an d as ki ng the Court to assist them in the removal of the o ld ma t er i a l s .

Many were the forebodings of disaster ,to the racing on Pitchcroft, arising from the heavy rains of the last two or three days having filled the Severn bank high, with every prospect, from the colour and rapidity of the stream, of an overflow. But, although doubts were expressed in the early part of the morning whether the different events could be decided, it was soon ascertained that the water, though covering a good portion of the ground, was not on the increase, so the committee after consulting with the owners of horses in the Autumn Handicap, the longest race of the day, determined in having them run off. The first race —the Nursery Handicap—proved a hollow affair for Flatterer, who was scarcely mentioned in the betting, " the talent" going for Orphene. The Autumn Handicap was anything but a close con test, as the light weight, Summerside, had the best of it all the way, winning easily by three lengths. The weight, with the heavy ground, told on Gibraltar and Umpire, who did not show prominently in the race. The Hurdle Race, the course lying through some of the aforesaid water, was postponed until to-morrow. The Severn Bank Stakes (three miles over the steeplechase course), from its nature the most popular race of the day, was won in gallant style by Medora, her owner and jockey, Mr. Rowlands, receiving an ovation on returning to scale. The Nursery Plate Handicap, of £5O, added to re Sweep stakes of £5 each, for 2-yr-olds. T.Y.C. Straight half mile. 47 subs.

Betting-5 to 1 agst Orphene, 6to 1 agst Dawdle, 7to 1 agst Dovedale, 10 to 1 agst Cutaway, and 12 to 1 agst Flatterer. After a slight delay, a good start was effected, Practi tioner, Jane Shore, and Confederate taking up the running for a few yards, when they gave way to Flatterer, who went on with the lead to the distance, where Deerstalker at tempted to come up, but did not suceeed in reaching Flat terer, who won, after a good race, by a head, two lengths separating Cutaway from the second horse; Dawdle was fourth, Ross fifth, and Faith sixth.

A good start was effected, Arethusa making the running to the turn, where Victoria Cross came to the front, and continued the lead to the stand, where he was joined by Newsmonger, Jessie, and Mary Ramsay, a fine set•to be tween the four resulting in Mary Ramsay winning by a head, the same distance separating Victoria Cross from Newsmonger. Highland Mary managed to snatch the fourth place from Jessie, and Airedale was sixth. The winner was sold for 160 guineas.

At the second attempt they were despatched from the post in close company, Doncaster, with a slight advantage, which he held for a few strides, when he was headed by Don John, who came past the stand with a clear lead, Don caster going on second, Summerside third, with Pearl Diver, Umpire, Gibraltar, and Croagh Patrick lying up, the rear being brought up by Donnybrook, the Crotchet colt and Conundrum. They retained these positions to the first turn, when Doncaster again assumed the command, closely waited upon by Don John, Summerside, and Croagh Patrick, at whosegirths were Donnybrook and Pearl Diver, the front lot closing up as they rounded the fur turn, and ran so into the straight, where Summerside came out and took a decided lead, followed by Croagh Patrick, Donnybrook, Pearl Diver, and Umpire to the distance, where Croagh Patrick was disposed of, leaving Mr. Crook's colt in attendance upon the favourite, who won in a canter by three lengths, a similar distance separating the second and third. Croagh Patrick was a bad fifth; Conundrum, the Crotchet colt, and Don John were pulled up, and did not past the post. The Hurdle Race, a handicap of 5 sovs each, with 40 added; winners extra.

He caused them to be inspected in order that they might be brought under the provisions of the act of Parliament for the regulation of bakehouses. The act was passed in the month of July last, and was the result of complaints made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department by the journeymen bakers of the metropolis as to the unwholesome condition under which their labour was carried on. These complaints were brought before Parliament in the summer of 1848, and were the subject of Government i nq uiry in 1861 and 1862 . T he chief fac ts brought to li g ht by this inquiry were , that young persons of t ender age were employed in bakehouses throughout the night, and that the bakehouses were often in a filthy condition, were imperfectly ventilated, and were sometimes used as sleeping places. Acting, therefore, on the recommendation of the commis sioner who was appointed to report on the matter, Val Government originated the present act of Par liament. It provides that no person under the age of 18 years shall be employed i n any bakehouse be tween the hours of 9 at night and 5 in the morn ing. It also provides that every bakehouse provided kehouses th ha w ll i be kept in a cleanly state , a nd shall be proper means for effectual ventilation, and shall b e free from effluvia ari sin g from any drain, privy, or other nuisance. And lastly, it provides that no place on the same level as the bakehouse shall be used as a sleeping place unless it is entirely sepa rated from the bakehouse by a proper partition, and shall have an external glazed window of at least nine superficial feet in area, half of which shall L o b n e . made to open f or ventilation. T he ex ecution of this act within the city of don is entrusted to the Commisasilo)nre. r l s Je o t f li S eb e y 7e iaT who ee r t. y e are f o b e s h the local circumstantialcalauthoritiesan insp ec ti on ma d e o f v kehouso within the every a limits of the City. The results of this inspection are as follow :- 1. There are 141 bakehouses in the City, in which there are employed 364 boys and men and on© woman. At the last census there were 508 men and 84 women employed as bakers and confec tioners in the City. It would seem, therefore, that about 72 per cent of the bakers living in the City are engaged as workmen in the bakehouses. 2, It wa3 ascertained that 101, or rather more The report of the medical officer was at once agreed to, and it was ordered to be printed and cir culated amongst the members of the Court. THE OAS SUPPLY. Dr. LETEEBY reported that the gas supply to the City during the past week had been generally good as regards the illuminating power, but the chemical quality in the 7asb MI6. Great Cefitral and the Chartered gas has not been good. The average pro portion of sulphur in the Chartered Company's gas was 22.3 per 100 cubic feet of gas, and in the Great Central 21.2, that of the City gas being 19.5. In 12 out of 18 observations the amount of sulphur was above that sanctioned by the act of Parliament. Some other business was disposed of, and the Court adjourned.

The deaths of the good Cardinal and the Queen naturally conclude the story, but the author might have relented towards hie lesser hero and heroine, and have suffered Constance to be happy at last. The new story, " John Law, the Projector," here commenced, has already been commented upon in these columns. The story of " Six Weeks at Huns don Manor" is continued, end direful events are dimly foreshadowed.

It would be difficult to suppose a more striking defeat to villainy, than that which Paul encount ers w h en he rides through the short hours of that beautiful summer night to do his work of darkness, and finds himself caught in the meshes he has spread for others. It might be well for others like him if they too were circumvented in this world, and thus brought to a sharp and sudden stand-still sadly and sternly exemplified in Olivia Marchmont's life, how many hearts did she break, because her desire was not in their downward course. " The Trials of the Tredgolda" is also told at some length, and here affairs are very gloomy indeed. Mr. Gifford is urging on his ruin by his reckless course, and offending those who are mighty to injure him by ill-judged obstinacy and unwise decisions. Clare is in a very miserable position, and Clem intent on revenge. Thus the motley crew are working together to create misunder standings, and to produce mischief. " The Ghost of Gash leigh Court " is a very painful sketch, that does not seem to possess any definite object. " Marriage not a-la-Mode" contains some very wise advice to young people, and pre sents some pictures of domestic felicity, giving glimpses of quiet little homes that are not so very much out of reach as people suppose.
