The ship was thus trimmed; and she is now gone out to try with the still 'deeply loaded ships, having only two months' biscuit; so t►;at if the cruise extends any considerable time, she must be provisioned from the other ships, and reduced to beg her bread. Now what a farce all this is. Is, then, mere sailing for a race, without regard to efficacy as a man-of-war, the object in view in the building of ships for the service of 'the country? What could you have done in the late war with a fleet of ships possessing the reported fine qualities of the Vanguard? Plainly, very little. But, suppose, being thus lightened, the Vanguard should outsail the whole squadron, what then? Why she will have won the cup by a species of Navy office jockeyship—by carrying a great spread of sail, with comparatively little resistance—the great secret of her reported success in the Mediterranean. We here see the practical and sound policy of the Admiralty; in bringing such ships and reports to the bar of justice, the truth has come out. It is important to remark, that if we had to choose between a good ship at a light trim, and a good ship at a deep trim, we should certainly for the service of the country select the latter, and for this reason :—That in sending ships on foreign stations it is absolutely requi•ite t. , stow them full of stores and provisions, and the more they can carry the better. If the ships get lighter by the expen diture of stores, it is easy to make them deeper; but you can find no shift to compensate the inefficiency of a ship deeply immersed. We referred on a former occasion to the late Parliamen tary return to "two orders of the House of Commons, June 26, and July 27, 1845," as being a document without a signature, and containing fallacies of a very absurd kind, and which we mean, for the information of our readers, from time to time to expose. The Vanguard is included in this return. First, she is said to have cost only 62,115/. ; whilst the Clarence and Thunderer are said to have cost from 72,000/. to 76,000/. Now, it will be found, that in the build ing of the Vanguard at Pembroke, means were resorted to to keep down the cost, unusual on similar occasions ; labourers were employed at 2s. per diem, to do the work usually performed by shipwrights at 4s. or 4s. 6d. ; and it is well known that the expense and difference in quality of materials employed in the construction of the - Vanguard were greatly in favour of the constructor's supposed econo mical system ; and this ship was built with a view to show the accuracy of this system. Now, it is a curious fact, that in the Dockyard returns from the Vanguard, instead of the official document of expenses being signed by all the principal offi cers of the Pembroke-yard, as is customary, it was only signed by one of them, and that one a partisan of the surveyor. It was actually proved, that instead of this ship being built at a less cost than the Clarence, she virtually cost 5,0001. more. We come now to the return in this precious Parliamentary document relative to her flotation. By this we find, at page 3, that the draught of water by construction drawing is to be 23 feet forward, and 24 feet abaft, with a height of midship port of 7 feet; and in page 2 we find, by return from Spithead, she swam 23 feet 7 inches, and 21 feet 5 inches, stored for 12 months, having a midship port of 7 feet 1 inch. Here, then, the ship swam 7 inches deeper forward, and 5 inches deeper abaft; notwithstanding which, her midship port is actually one inch higher. Oh, wonderful ship ! Oh, heavenly con structors! We ne'er may look upon your like again. So Much for the Vanguard. Come we now to Superb. The Superb was built at Pem broke in 1842 ; and, not content with the most perfect of all perfect ships, her predecessor the Vanguard, her constructors made a considerable alteration in the form of the stem, by which her buoyancy was increased forward, without any corresponding alteration in. the after body—of course down she went by the stern, as might have been anticipated. On fitting out this ship at Plymouth, in November, 1843, under Captain Cory, she was found very deficient in displace ment, and would nat take her stores to the draught of water intended—so much so, that it was found requisite to put on an additional quantity of copper; she was docked previously to fitting out, and then sent round to Portsmouth to join the experimental fleet. On arriving at Portsmouth, however, she was ordered, from some unknown crotchet of the surveyor's department, to be docked again, and very great pains were taken to prepare her for the forth coming trials. She went to sea under very hopeful expectatious, and she returned to Plymouth Sound, ac knowledged to have sailed even worse than the Vanguard. An order is now sent, dated September 23, to put her on the same low diet as Vanguard, and bring her to the light jockey trim—a plain admission of her incapacity as a deep ship; but no sooner is this effected, than she is withdrawn from the fleet and sent to Portsmouth to be again taken into dock and stowed under the express directions of the sur veyor. Can anything be more absurd or monstrous than such a state of things ? Here are two ships, supposed to be the finest in the world, which are only to be sailed by certain persons, at a certain draught of water, and which require such a delicate trim, that to destroy their sailing, it is only requi site to fit them for general service. There is not upon the records of the Admiralty, we will venture to say, an instance of a ship docked three times within 10 months merely for ex perimental sailing. It was alleged, in explanation of the bad sailing of the Superb, that the copper on the bottom was foul, and some weeds were exhibited brought up by an apparatus put under the ship; but with how little reason this excuse for docking the ship can be maintained, we leave our readers to judge, from the following extract from a morning paper of Thursday last, and which we suppose would not have appeared without sufficient authority : " The Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Cory, went into Ports mouth Harbour on Tuesday, and into dock all standing yes terday. Her men are hulked on board the Victorious; her copper was perfectly clean and in excellent order, not a wrinkle or swell to be seen, it having been only flattened down about sixteen weeks back. So soon as the water was clear from the dock men were set on to rip off the copper. She will be fresh caulked and coppered. What ether process she will undergo we cannot tell, but it is understood the shipwrights and caulkers are to work early and late to get her ready to come out of dock to-morrow. The officers be longing to her do not know any reason for this ship coming into dock. She did not leak- ill.. liC Had the Trafalgar been taken into dock, we should not have been surprised, because the copper of that ship was very much covered with weed, as is well known, and she had not, previously to the cruise, had the advantage of recent docking, common to all the other ships of the squa dron. These operations on the productions of the inspired school of shipbuilding requisite to their perfect success, may be considered very trifling ; but they are, at the same time, very costly. MELANCHOLY ACCIDBXT.-KIEKCIIDBRIGHT, OCT. 4.—A melancholy loss of life occurred here on the night of Tues day, or early on the morning of Wednesday last. Robert Cun ningham, of Linkens, occupying the farm of Nether Boreland, off the town of Kirkcudbright, having been in the parish of Borgue in the course of Tuesday, taking sheep to grass parks there, took his seat in Forrest's coach, from Newton-Stewart, about Barber. row, in Bourge. On the coach crossing the ferry at Kirkcud bright, he was requested to keep his seat, but he declined, came off the coach, saying —" No, no; I don't wish to be drowned in a coach (alluding to a recent accident which occurred at the ferry); when lam drowned, I shall be droWned on my feet." He crossed the ferry, went to the inn at which the coach stopped, paid his fare, and, in company with a friend, walked out of town as far as the Millburn on his way home, when his friend parted with him, and bade him good night. This might be about 10 o'clock. There are reasons for believing that he was seen about an hour later by Robert Hannah, the post runner from Tarff.bridge, about half a mile out of town, at 11 o'clock ; but from this hour no further trace of him can be had till about half-past five on Wednesday morning, when his body was found lying in the dock at Kirkcud bright, on its back on the sand, the tide having receded from the spot two hours at least before the body was found. We under stand that as soon as the accident was known, the superintendent of police instituted an investigation Into the circumstances of the case, and requested Dr. Shand to examine the body, who reported that death must have been occasioned by drowning, there being no external marks of his having sustained any injury. From further inquiries it has been ascertained that cries of a shrill and urgent nature were heard in the direction of the dock, about twenty minutes before two o'clock, at which time it is supposed the gen tleman, unfortunately, under the impression that he had left his horse at Castlesod, retraced his steps to Kirkcudbright, with the view of re-crossing the ferry, and the night being very dark, missed his way, and stepped over the quay, which is quite unprotected, and fell into the dock. The accident is more to be regretted, that it might have been prevented had our municipal authorities taken the necessary and called-for precaution of putting a fence-chain round the dock—a precaution more especially called for, as the dock is right in the way of the ferry-boat, which is in demand at all hours of time, night as well as day. We only hope that this accident, with the previous one already referred to, will induce the authorities to adopt Immediate measures, both as regards the dock and the ferry, to secure the safety of the public to an extent which has not hitherto been obtained, however loudly called for.— Dumfries Courier. THE THoROUGHFARE-PHOBIA.---A new disease has within the last few months become very prevalent in the metro- ' polls : and as no name has yet been given to it, we honour it with the appellation of the Thoroughfare-phobia. It consists of a very dangerous stoppage, preventing the free circulation of the blood of commerce through the veins and arteries of the metropolis. Fleet-street has, been seized in this shocking way several times during the present year; and Piccadilly, which we thought bad just got over a very long attack, has suffered a serious relapse within the last week or two. We really begin to tremble for the very existence of the City, when we see these awful symptoms of a general breaking-up beginning to show themselves in all quarters of the metropolis. If the suburban roads, which are called the lungs of London, should be taken in the same way, suffo cation would be the inevitable consequence.—Punch. ROCHESTER PETTY SESSIONS.—The mother of the boy Menem, who was sentenced to pay 15s. for stealing a few walnuts valued at 6d., the property of Sir John Marshall, at Gill ingham, and whose case appeared in the London journals last week, entered the court, and said that the money hid been given her by a gentleman named Underwood, at Gillingham, for the purpose of releasing her son from going to prison. It appeared also that some humane gentleman sent to the county court a post-office order for the amount, and other sums had been forwarded for the same benevolent object. The money wa s accordingly paid, and the discharge made out. By the death of the Rev. Dr. Perkins three livings, in the county and diocese have become vacant, viz., the Vicarage of Dawlish, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter; the Rectory of Mamhead, in the gift of Sir Robert Newman, Bart. ; and the Rectory of St. Lawrence, in this city, in the gift of the CrOWII,-- Western Luminary.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Bbston with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Syston and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid ont, not only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will be brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected with it. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be o great convenience and - tr :My, by affording to a part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway commnnication with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is -fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unnes sary trouble, no other applications will be received except those wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit tee, to the Solicitors or Banke, or the following Sharebrokers, Commit from whom prospectuses and plans may be obtained : Messrs Sutton, Gribble, and Sutton, Royal Exchange Messrs.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at-least three-fourths of the applications for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, as also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valley of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main trunk line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the gallsbury and Swindon Extension will make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury. and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most desirable as a completion to their own line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same time had to public interosti and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey month shares, will also have a preference. Applications may bg made, in the following form, to the Provision: Committee, a th Coffees or the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local egents, Or to the prthelpal brokers in tows and country. 1845.

This line of railway, although only about twenty-eight miles in length, is a most important one, as forming a connecting link to se veral existing lines, and across a district at present destitute of such accommodation. It commences at the Thirsk station, on the Great North of Eng land Railway, and proceeds in a direct line to Pickering, where it will form a junction with the York, Scarborough, Pickering, and Whitby lines. It is supported by the various Companies having lines of rail way running into Leeds and Thirsk, and by means of this proposed line a distance of twenty-two miles Will be saved between Thirsk and Whitby. It would certainly be the grand route to Whitby, Scarbo rough, and Burlington, and the immediate towns of Helmsley and Kirkby-Moorside, from all places west or north of Thirsk, the traffic in which directions is already very extensive, and is daily on the increase. It is certain, therefore, that a large income will result to the shareholder. The landowners on the line are few in number, and are friendly to the project, which presents no great engineering difficulties. Until the Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the proposed Company will be under the control of the Committee, of whom five are to be a quorum.

This line has'for its object a direct communication between the city of Lincoln and the populOus and flourishing town of Sheffield, and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Yarmouth through Norwich to Manchester and Liverpool, thereby uniting the two great ports of Yarmouth and Liverpool, whose cm/Amerce is somewhat dissimilar, and, consequently, a reciprocal benefit must be the result. The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty miles only, whereas the nearest route by any projected line at pre sent cannot be less than sixty miles, thereby saving a distance of twenty miles, as well as an enormous unnecessary expense, The immediate connexion between Yarmouth and Norwich, and all intermediate towns and cities, together with the whole of the manu facturing districts of Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottingham, and Lan cashire, will be highly beneficial. The line will commence:at Lincoln, at thejunction of the projected ra lvray from Lynn Regis to Lincoln, and proceeded from thence across the country through)vast; Retford to Sheffield, and there the Sheffield and Manchester Railway. Should the projected line from Macclesfield Sheffield be carried into effect, it will then add another important commercial town to those already ad: verted to, and increase the traffic to vast extent. A reference to the map will readily show the great importance and utility of such a line, A more than usual revel - Me may be calculated upon in the goofs traffic from those great emporiums of commerce above alluded ffto, without taking into consideration the immense passenyer traic which must necessarily arise upon so important a line of railway. Every regard will be paid to local accommodation, and a close scrutiny gill convipee thok t e who are aware of the exigencies of the towns and districts embraced within the scope of the intended line, 0( the advantages which must accrue from it. Preference in the allotment of shares will be given to the land owners and others locally htteresied, as well as to Subscribers will be only liable to the extent of their deposits.

This Company is formed for making a railway from Liverpool to Derby, and will, in conjunction with the Manchester and Rugby Direct, and London and Birmingham Railways, form the nearest route from Liverpool to London. It will commence at Liverpool, and proceed along the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to within a abort distance of the Whiston Inclined Plane, and thane() branch off, in a south-easterly direction, through Warrington, Knutsford, and Congleton to Leek (there joining the Manchester and Rugby Dan• way), and from thence through Ashbourne to Derby, The whole length of the proposed line will be about sixty-six ratios, It will be seen by reference to the map that this important lino of railway will form the shortest route frouiLiverpool tO London, and effect a direct chain of communication bet w e e n Liver p ool and Derb y , An d will thence, by means of the Wahnlds and other railways, open RA unin terrupted route to the more eastern counties, and af fo rd a complete midland communication between the eastern and western parts of the kingdom and the important intermediate manufacturing districts, The most important feature in this railway is that it forms the shortest road from Liverpool to London. The distance by it, 'with the Manchester and Rugby, and London and Birmingham, will be only 158 miles, whereas by the present route lt is 210 miles, and by the Trent Valley Railway 200% miles e—n cg tt of 22 miles be one instance, and 12% miles in the oth — er, "11 " And as regards Liveppppl and Derby. the whole distance between Liverpool and Derby will by redneed by this line to about 14 miles, thus decreasing the diStarice by any present existing railway, at least 46 miles; an advantsge which carries in itself the conviction of the necessity there is for the proposed rail ray, la Order to connect more immediately two such important towns, especially when these towns are but the foci, as it were, for Other railways from still more distant localities,lts before adyerted to. Thp distance also from Manchester to Leek (where the proposed railway will unite with the Manchester and Rugby Direct Railway) will be about 30 miles, and from Leek to Derby about g 6 )4 miles , making the whole distance from Manchester to Derby only 563{, miles ; and thus diminishing the distance by any present communii Cation betwpon those important tow n s by about 58 miles, an object most desirable to be attained, and pf itself quite sufficient to recom mend a line of railway embracing such But great as these results most certainly will be, they are far beneficial results. results. important consideration that, In conjunction and Rugby Direct Railway, it will also be the wwimeptialigthtdiedhreebrytanrotheuehtecoveftteorYm Liver Liverpool to Leek (the proposed point of June- The distance from pool to Landon, Rugby Direct Railway) is 47% miles; i s e ,L a rd ild ing to the line as proposed by the Man frtioonmwiLvthothteo 3Rfauig,clalyies. cheater and Rugby Direct Railway, 3,8 miles, and from Rugby to thus making the whole distance frees Liverpool to London a i s sat ie rn s iles, instead of 210, by the present route. with regard to the traffic and other details connected with the convinceto tb:ebmroinillsitotinalito working of the line, it seendlOnly necessary to revert to the great that the source cation Pr to (frs Importance of the in to o wn we a r with each other, of revenue thus derived will be immense, There are no engineering difileultio connected wi the line. th the formi:llg 01 The deeds will provide that n o ca ll shall holders beyond the deposit now paid be made on the share. until the Act of P obtained, and power will h e t a k , arliameAt is interest on all calls.
