The Lezislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the making of a railway from Ihndersfield to Manchester, the long-de sired object of opening a direct line of railway communication. from Manchester to the Port of Goole, passing through the Saddleworth and Marsden Valleys, now presents itself. To accomplish this object, it is proposed to make a railway, com mencing at or near the station at Huddersfield of the IludderAehl and Manchester Railway, proceeding through the Kirkburton and Shelley Valleys, and thence by way of, or near, Barnsley, to Goole. By thn proposed railway, and the intended Huddersfield and Man chester Railway, there would be then established one continuous line of railways between the Irish Sea and the German. Ocean, pa.s• log through Manchester, and connecting the two ports of Liverpool and Goole ; and also several important and populous manufacturing districts would have the benefit of railway communication,ler which no provision has yet been made by any existing Company, or pro posed by any scheme now before the public. The proposed line would cross the North Midland Railway at or near Cudworth Station, opening. a direct communication southwards. The Portion of the line between Huddersfield and the North Mid land Railway would pass through or near several of the most ex tensive and celebrated coal •fields in Yorkshire ; and the other part of the line would afford :increased means of attaining the valuable limestone of Knottingley. The country through which the. line wool I pass generally is of a favourable character, and presenting few (if any) engineering diffi culties ; . but a survey is now being made, and, when completed, a detailed-Prospectus, With the names of a most influential Provisional Committee, consisting of landowners, merchants, manufacturers, and others locally interested, will be published.

As the ww standing order of - the IL:use of Lords will require 10 per ce .t. of the proposed capital to be deposited, the Committee have also determined, in order to obviate the necessity of a farther call on Shareholders before going to Parliament, to distribute the capital into shares of 257., deposit 2/. 12s. tid. ; allowing holders of the pre sent 50/. shares to receive twice as many 257. cares, or any smaller number they may wish (subject to approval of the names by the Committee where their Shares were not originally allotted to them), or if any should wisll to withdraw, returning them the deposits of 2/. 15s. per share which have been paid up. - All holders of scrip certificates, or of bankers' receipts, are requested to fonvari the same to the Secretary on or before Sarcanav, the 20th of September, and to state at the same time their wishes with respect to new Shares, by letter in 'the form below.

Ist, 1845. TWA line will commence at the terminus of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway at Macclesfield, and passing by the Rudyard reservoir to Leek, will proceed by the Churnet Valley to Consall, thence close to Cheadle, and Team, and by littoxeter, Bagots Woods and Abbots Bromley down the Blythe, to a point on the Trent Valley Railway, near Lichfield, communicating there with one of the pro posed lines from Dudley and Walsall. A glance at the map will show that this will be the most direct line for the London and Manchester traffic; uniting those two great termini by the shortest practicable route in connexion will existing railways. It will also completely accommodate the local traffic and manufiictures, and open several extensive coal fields and sums thou sand acres of wood land fir the supply of Manchester, the Potteries, arid - other great Marts'of the kingdom. Together, too, with the pro posed line from Derby to Crewe, it will afford a transit from the Eastern Counties had Derby to Manchester, and give every acoom- iodation to the Potteries. This line is, in its principal features, much the same as that already Moved of by the Board of Trade, and partially abandoned by the :hornet Valley Company—will be scarcely 47 miles in length, and ,assiwr * through the centre of the district , does not interfere with the ;rand Junction, sr any other existing railway. It is material to re nark, that it is even more direct than the Churnet Valley as formerly rojected to Tamworth, and is free from the formidable opposition of he landed interest, and the engineering ditriculties consequent on the outs by It - wester and Marchington. It must be observed also that t is the only railway which has been brought forward by, and is coder the control of, the landowners and manufacturers of the Churnet and Blythe Valley districts. The co-operation of most of the principal landowners, from near Uttoxeter to near Lichfivid, having been obtained, an-I there being no competing lines projected through that district, this portion of the line may be considered as secure.

In May last, Lord Ingestre drew the attention of the House of Commons to the defective constitution of the Navy-office, and the great disadvantages attendant upon the absence of any fixed .priiic:ple in the construction of our ships of war. His Lordship dwelt with good reasi:a on the ruinous consequences that were likely to result from confiding the direction of the constructive department of the British navy to a single indi vidual, notoriously destitute of that sort of acquaintance with the scisnee of naval architecture which would enable him to frame his calculations with any degree of certainty; and whose vast and costly experiments had signally failed. After enume ra•ing the ships, upwards of 100 in number, which had been built or were in course of construction by Sir William Sy monds, his Lordship complained, of the expensive alterations which it had been necessary to make in a large proportion of those vessels before they could be rendered efficient for the public service. The unprecedented latitude which has been given to Sir William Symonds, after failures which have in volved the most serious sacrifices to the country. may be gathered from the statistics of the number and cost of the ships built or building by him which were laid before the House on that occasion. They were as follow : LINE-OF-BATTLE. Nine •hips complete .. . A:524 072 Fifteen in progress FRIGATES.

RAILWAY. (Provisionally Registered). Capital 600,0001, in 24 ,000 Sharer of 2 51 . each. —Deposit 21. 12s. 6d. Per Share, in compliance with the standing orders of Parliament. The objects of the Midland and Thirsk - Jun ction Railway are three foul; firstly, to open up and fully develop one of the richest fields of Coal and Ironstone in the kingdom ; secondly, to make a Trunk Line of communication from South to North, between the Midland and the Leeds and Thirsk Railways; and, thirdly, in conjunction with the Midland at. Oakenshaw, the Man Irster and Leeds and the Wake field, Pontefract and Goole at Wakefield, the Leeds and Dewsbury at er near Ilow ey Mills, the Bradford and Leeds at or near Calverley, and the Leeds and Thirsk at or near Horsforth, to afford to the densely Populated and important manuiricturing district through which the line is intended to pass. the best facilities for the ceniveyance of pas sengers, merchandise, &C., to all parts o f the country. The intended line runs parallel with UMW of the projected schemes of last session, and cannot be said to interfere with any of th em ; it, Is perfectly independent, and Imperativdy called for. The quantity of coal procured from different collieres now work ing In the Bowden Clough and Coekersdale Valleys (which are on the !Melaka line of railway) is about 6,000 tons per week, and when the railway now prujocted is formed, it is believed that the average supply weekly will be upwards of 20,000 tons, so that from this vast and inexhaustible held of cord, occupying more than 10,000 acres, and.averaging twenty feet in thickness (of workable coal) an unli °tleYt'llie ta r r e r d ° t g ietion will be at least ate, Knaresborough, tinted sin ply of the best and cheap est coal in t he kingdom will be available for the London market (via (look.), as w e ll as the more neighixairing towns of Wakefield , Leeds, Halifax, Bradford, Pews ibluiproyi,l,Breg,leitye, .1.T.( , 'whereone-half, and in the more dista nt p laces much mo re than this amo u n t of reduction, and in all which places an &dilatant supply of good and clump coal is of the highest imp ortance. The r evenue to be realised front this source alone, it is be lieved, will y ield a most ample retur n ige h I SkiPtvtr, k most il)t°n' cases for the capital required. Besides passing through the centre of this immense coal field, the railway traverses a district affording accommodation to a populist on of upwards of 33,5,000 inhabitants, and whilst attording every accom modation to this vast popul diem, whose internal traffic mast neces sarily be very great, it receives an additional indemnity from the relative position in which it stands to other liner, so that for inter nal resources and external relations its advanta ;es are almost un rivalled. This line affords the most direct communication from North to South, and will be a nearer route frain Huddersfield. Wakefield, al anchester, &anis Lancashire, Cheshire, and all parts of the South, to that much frequented waterla .-place, Harrogate, and will form a most eligible line, with appropriate stations at Wakefield, Alvcr thorpe, Batley, Drighlington, Tong, Pudsey, Stantangley, Calverley - , and Horsforth. The length of the multi lino will be about sixteen miles, and the branches six miles. The project is warmly s upported by the landed and local interests, and by a large body of mercantile and wealthy individuals in the above districts, who, confident of a successftil issue, will use every means for bringing the project before the Legislature next session. The Company reserve t h e power of making an extension from their line to Bradford, at the most convenient point for the convey ance of the minerals, &c., if adequate provision be not made by ttnother Company. The liability of each Shareholder will he restricted to the amount of his individual subscription, and interest will be allowed upon all calls after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from the time the Act is obtained. The names of an influential Provisional Committee will be adver tised next week.

Protheroe, Esq.,lo, Old Jewry-ehambers,Lordon This railway is intended io connect the South Wales Railway at Chepstow with Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Birmingham, with the projected Cheltenham, Oxford (a nd London direct), Gloucester, and Aberystwith, Northampton and Cheltenham, and Manchester and Southampton Railways ; thus forming as uninterrupted line of com munication from the South of Ireland, through Fishgard and Milford in l'embrokeshire, to Gloucester, Cheltenham, Oxford, and London direct, Southampton, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and the North of England, by a less circuitous route than can be effected by any of the projected plans far crossing the Severn below Gloucester, thereby avoiding the difficulties which must necessarily be encoun tered in such an undertaking, and affording the important towns and districts upon the intended lines that accommodation which their im portance entitles them to. The whole of the traffic upon the South Wales line passing to the Eastward of Chepstow will he carried on this line ; added to which the coal and mineral traffic from the Forest of Dean (which, from tiv Eastern side to Gloucester, has been estimated upon authentic documents and information, at upwards of 300,000 tons ; and from the Western or Lydney and Chepstow side the same amount of traffic my safely be calculated upon), amounting to 600,000 tons per an num (the produce of the Forest alone), must be carried upon the line, independent of the local passenger traffic and an extended trade in the produce of the Forest, which will necessarily follow the facilities offered by theproposed railroad. The revenue from this source alone will give a very handsome di vidend upon the capital to be expended, which is expected will not exceed three-fourths of the intended capital. It is proposed to make branches to th • Collieries and Iron Works in the Forest, to the present or any new Ports which may suggest themselves on the Severn ; and to snake the River Wye, at Chep stow, the port of foreign export, where vessels of any size can enter free from the dangers and difficulties attendant upon the navigation of the Severn, consequent upon the rocks and shifting sands iu that river. It is intended to build a bridge across the Severn at Gloucester, which will in no way obstruct the navigation ; and the proposed Gloucester and Aberystwith Company will no doubt be ready to join this Company in the expense, if they obtain their Act. The cost of the intended line from Chepstow to Gloucester, including the bridge at Gloucester, and the one over the River Wyt., at Chepstow, to join the South Wales, with branches to the Collieries, Iron Works, and the Severn, is not expected to exceed 450,0001., but it is intended to pro vid e a capitol of 600,0001. to meet ally contingencies which may LIST OF PRICES.

After most mature deliberation, they have re solved to recommend to their shareholders and the public the in:me cums carrying cut a railway to effect this objtct, which wi:i be most desirable, as a completion to their own line, and highly advantage ous 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 sin:li gation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares, and every' original shareholder in that line may, on production of his Scrip Certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salis bury and Swindon Extension shares.

In some of the trills the rate or sailing was only from one to three knots, and sometimes the ships had little more than steerage way. The degree of incli nation varied. In a " cross swell," and the rate of tailing five knots, the inclit.atiou was told to be—of Vanguard, 3 degrecs ; Queen, 3i; Albion and Trafalgar, 4 , Superb, 4i ; St. Vin cent and Canopus, 5i , Rodney, 6. SEPERATE TRIALS. In a trial "on a wind," on the 2tith July, with the two deckers only, chasing to windward under double-reefed topsails. topgallant sails, jib, and spanker, wind westerly, at a rate of sailing from 4 to 4i knots, the result was said to be thus:— Albion, Canopus, Vanguard, Rodney, and Superb. With reference to the Queen and Albion, a trial sailing on a wind took place on the 31st July, under double-reefed topsails, fure and maintopgallant sails, jib, and spanker. Wind NW by W W, veering a point each way. Rate of sailing, six knots. The Albion had a decided advantage. A trial was instituted between the Canopus and Vanguard at the same time. The Canopus would have beaten the Vanguard if she had not missed stays, and was obliged to wear; as it &cm the advantage of the Vanguard was little more than a sable's length. A trial took place on the 30th July, on a wind, between the Rodney, Superb, and the Canopus, under single-reefed top sails, topgallantsails, jtb, and spanker; wind NW by W, with a swell from the NE. Rate of sailing, between four and five knots. It lasted about three hours, when the Rodney beat the Superb about a third of a mile, and the Superb the Canopus a cable's length. 7he two former shook out their first reefs. The inclination of the Rodney was t 3 deg., Superb 6 deg., and Canopus 7 deg. Th'e Rodney and the Superb had a trial, July 31, on a wind, under double-reefed tqp,ailf, fore and main topgallant sails, j b. and si.anker. Wind veering from NW by NV to N W Rate of sailing six knots. The Rodney beat the Superb about a quarter of a mile. The Superb endeavoured to weather the Rodney, but failed. Another trial took place between these ships on the 2d of August, on a wind, when the Rodney more signally beat the Superb. The inclination of the former 5 deg. and the latter 41. On the same day a trial took place with the Queen and Trafalgar, on a wind, under courses, single-reefed topsails, topgallant sails, jib, and spanker. Wind from NW by W to %V NW, Rate of sailing, from ;live to six knots. The Queen beat the Trafalgar, but during the trial the Queen set her fore and main royals and flying jib. On the 13th of August three sets of trials took place on a wind, between the three three-deckers; the Albion, Rodney, and the Canopus, Vanguard, and Superb ; wind moderate, SE by S. Rate from bur and a half to five and a half knots. The Queen beat the St. Vincent nearly a male, and the Tra falgar more than one mile and a third. The Rodney lost more than half an hour in shifting her foretopsail, or the Albion would have been beaten. As it was, the Albion had the advantage of about two miles. The Canopus seat the . Superb and Vanguard four miles and a . . Another trial took place, August 19, on a wind, with all the two-deckers, except the Albion. The Vanguard and Superb carried single-reefed topsails, fore and main topgallant sails, jib, and spanker. and the Rodney and Canopus with two reefs in these salts. Wind, Nby E E.

THE EXCELLENT GVNNERT SHlP.—Commodore Chad.' appointment to the command of this ship is highly flattering to that officer, and most honourable to the Earl of Hadding ton. It was purely from his distinguished services and the well-known high state of efficiency of the gunnery practice in the ships Captain Chads recently commanded—the Andro mache, 25, and the Cambrian, 36—that induced Lord Had• dington to offer the appointment to Captain Chad-, who never made an applicacation in any shape for the command of the ExcePent. It. is said this ship will in future bear a second captain instead of a coremander. Captain Lowe, whose ;to motion we announced yesterday, has been appointed pro tem. Commander Moorman, whose promotion ba that rank we also gave yesterday, was the gunnery lieutenant, and i 3 considered a clever and talented officer. He had the charge of instructing She &Bee!, and seamun gunners for a long time. Lieut. Lee was the gunnery mate. APPOINTMENTS. Mr. Samuel W. Webb (18:36), late assistant-surgeon of the Medea steam-sloop, has been promoted to the rank of surgeon. Lieutenants—Lmchlin H. Mackinnon (1812), has been ap pointed to the Heroine, 6, at Devonport, for service on the coast of Africa; and William I. R. Caird, late of the Hya cinth, has been appointed to the Kingfisher, 12, at Ports mouth, for service, on the coast of Africa. Master—J. G. H. Thain, lately promoted from the Royal yacht to the Kingfisher. Mate—Frederick W. Gough, of the Excellent, to the Pre sident. Master's Assistant—J. G. Millet, to the Victory. Naval Cadets—J. Hussey and A. J. Innes, to the President, Boatswain W. Clefft and Carpenter Thomas Searle, to the Heroine. THE LATE CAPTAIN ROBERT MAUNSELL, C.B. Our obituary, yesterday, recorded the death of Captain Robert Maunsell, C. 8., a commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. Captain Maunsell was a gallant and distinguished officer, and was very much respected. His first promotion in 1805, to the rank of lieutenant, was for service in the boats of the Maidstone, when midshipman of that ship the preceding year, in cutting out a convoy near Toulon. In 1808 . he was pro moted to the rank of commander, and won his last step of post rank while commanding the Procris sloop, by a most gal!ant exploit of leading her beats to tke attack of six French gun boats, which he captured off the Island of Java, and by his services on shore at the reduction of that island in 1811. In 1831 he commanded the Alfred, 50, in the Mediterranean ; in 1838 he was nominated a Companion of the Bath ; in 1849 he commanded the Rodney, 92, in the Mediterranean, and in her voyage to the Cape with a regiment of cavalry ; and in 1844 was appointed a Commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.

I hayo the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and very humbleservealt, W. HOLLIS, Late Lieutenant, Madras Army. Camberwell. Aug. 30, 1845. P.S. The publication of this letter is the more neccs stry, in consequence of General Wilson's testimonial not having been reported; whereas your Lordship's ,tatemertt appeared at full length. The former is alto gether as exculpatory of my conduct as the latter was condemnatory. The follolnieg is the pmition above referred to: — The humble petition of William Ho , liA, late a Lieutenant in the 36th Regiment, Madras Native Infantry, Sheweth, _ . . That your petitioner entered the military service of the East India Company on their Madras establishment, in the year 1826. That, in 1840, your petitioner, on his return to India (having come to England for the benefit of his health), did duty, by order of the Court of Directors, with a detachment of recruits, proceeding to Bombay in the ship " Inglis," under the com mand of Captain Robert Mignan, of the Bombay army. That the vessel finally sailed from Falmouth on January 6, and on March 10, and April 2, respectively, your petitioner was " ordered in arrest at large," and " under close arrest," " on grounds unconnected with his military duty" (recommendation of the court-martial), and otherwise subjected to oppression and a system of irritation, in every way calculated to drive a man to commit himself; in which object Captain Mignan at length succeeded, and for which he ultimately received a severe reprimand in general orders. His conduct has likewise been forcibly described in the following testimonial. which your petitioner had the honour anti satisfaction to receive from his former highly respected commanding-officer, Major-General Wilson, C.B. " 39. Dorset-square, February 8, I P,41. " Having, since the letter I wrote to Mr. Hollis , at Bombay, in August - last, giving my testimonial of his conduct and elm ra,ter,- from my knotsledge of bath as his commanding-cancer, give. further attention to his case in respect to the matter in which he was involved on his pasage from England, I ran de clare it as my opinion, founded en my own knowledge of him, and the general sentiments of his brother officers, and those who have long known him, that nothing but the ignortioy and suNering, accompanied with the frequent ltrovnealions — alt of them together perhaps unprecedented to ,ny one in the situa tion of an officer in the army—to whirl) he wzs so lo:,g sub jiet, could have stirred him u? to that violence of language for which he was ahem :ads brouAt to a court-martial. (Signed) " F. W. WILSON, Major- G..neral." That your petitioner having. on April 3 (the day after ha was placed `•under cto•e arrest"), broken his arrest ‘• by enter ing the euddy," and then and there insulted Captain Mignan, on his arrival at Bombay (\lay 3). his conduct was investi gated by a court of inquiry, whose proceeding; closed at " The court think it their duty, before closing the proceed ings, to advert to the long and irriqoing correspondence entered into by Captain Mignan with Lieutenant Hollis, and continued after that officer had been placed in arrest ; and further to record their opinion that the many f‘ivolous com plaints preferred by Captain Mignan against that officer, and particularly the gailirg, and, as it appears to the court, unwar rantable taunt, marked B in page 25 of the correspondence, in a great measure led to those acts on the part of Lieutenant Hollis, which have been made matter for their invest;gation. (Signed) A. T. REID, Major, and President.. - . HY. HANCOCK, Major, and Memb.'r. JS. H. CH AL7IIERS, Capt. Marine Batt. and Member." That in the month of June, 1840, sour petitioner was tried, and sentenced " to be dismissed the service," by a court- mar tial, " holden by virtue of a warrant from his Excelleney Lieu tenant-General Sir Thomas M.Mahon, Bart., and K. C. B , Commandenin-Chief" at Bombay; whereas, according to the then existing provisions of the Mutiny Act, the Commander in-Chief at Madras was the sole and exclusive authority to appoint a court-martial for the trial of an officer belonging to that Presidency. (4 Geo. IV. cap. 81, see.3o.) That, in the month of August fohowin.g, your petitioner ob tained two opinions as to the illegality of his trial—the opinion of Major-General Vans Kennedy, a high authority on points of military law, and of Mr. Cochrane, a barrister of eminence in the Supreme Court at Bombay. General Kennedy, after referring to a particular section (the thirtieth) of the Mutiny Act, comes to this conclusion "In your care, Sir Thomas AP .Mahon appointed a court-martial for the trial of an officer of the Madras Presidency, in which he is not employed ; and, consequently, unless the words just quoted have no meaning, he exceeded the power vested in him, by convening a court martial for the trial of an officer who was not " of or belong ing to the Presidency of which he was Commander-in-Chief." 'I hat, in the month of September, your Petitioner, on per sonally submitting these opinient to Sir James Camay, Gover nor at Bombay, was recommended " to go home to the Court of Directors." That accordingly your Petitioner returned to this country, and in a memorial, dated Jantary 14, 1841, solicited from the Court his restoration to the service, on the ground dins illegal trial, hut more particularly in considerateon of the Alamein' treatment that led to to it. hat in a letter, dated May 15, 1841, the Court refused to comply with the prayer of his inemori,l; but at the same time granted him *. an allowance of 701. a year," which was, pro twit°, an acknowledgment of his having been unjustly dealt with. That your Petitioner, viewing it in this light, has received the allowance under protest, and only as a part of his full pay in India as Lieutenant, to which, having been unjustly de prived of his commis-ion, he will lays claim. That, on March 14, 1844, in a "Judgment delivered by Fir Erskine Perry, Rot., in her Aiaj-sty's Supreme Court of Judi cature at Bombay," it was decided that " jurisdiction is given to each Commander-in- Chief respeetively, and to each exclu sively over his own army." The Learned Judge. moreover, very justly observed, that " in the army to which ho (the offender) belongs, and where he may have been servin g for a number ot years, circumstanee• may be kn ow n and brought forward which might have great weight with his Com mander-in-Chief towards c ommutation of a sentence; bet if the temporary service of a few days in another Presulrt ey is to place his fate in the hands of another officer, to whom the same grounds for exercising a merciful discretion are not readily pmesentable or available, it might make all the difference be tween lite and death to a prisoner ;" an observation pointedly :ipplieahle to the manner in which your Petitioner was tried, and the sentence "approved and confirmed," without any re ference made to "his Command:.r-in-Chief." That upon this, your Petitioner, ou June 22, 1844, again re quested that the sentence of court-martial might be reversed by his restoration to the service, which was again uperemptoB ril y taking no notice whatever of the judge's decision, from which J refused, the Court of Directors in their r e p l y ( y there has been no appeal, but merely stating that they de cline to depart from the decision on your case, as communi cated to •ou under date Slay 15, 1841, and as since confirmed upon repeated occasions." That about this very time ( 3 / a y and June, I`+44) , a Pill was brought into Parliament by the Hight Hon. the Earl of Ripon, President of the Board ot Control, giving to the Commauder in-Chief at each Presidency the power previously assumed (and that so g reatl y to the injury of your p etitioner) b y the Commander-in - C hief at Bombay—viz., the p ower o f appoint ing courts - m artial for the trial of an y officer or soldier of either Presidency , " w ho may be, or come withi n the local limits of (his) command." L a stly, that your petitioner, wI en appealin g t o t h e C our t o f Directors (under the advice of Sir James Carnac), was not aware that there existed at the India House what appears to be a singular regulation, or by-kw, by which the members of the Honourable Court are pleased to consider themselves bound and under the shelter of which it was n., dsubt convenient to overlook the peculiar features of his ease altogether—viz., " that the practice to which, in several instances, individuals have resorted, (.1 coming to England to appeal to them from the decisions of their local Government, is highly disapproved of by them, and will by no means tend to advance the object of those who may adopt so irregular a course." Wherefore your petitioner most humbly and respectfully prays that your Honourable. House may institute tech an in quiry into the merits of his case as will, he trusts, lead to the annulment of the proceedings and sentence of a court-martial, holden in a mariner contrary to the provisions of an Act of Parliament; and so make manifest that the rights and privi leges ot British subjects, of British soldiers, whether in the service of her Majesty or the East India Company, whether at home or abroad, are sure to be protected. And your petitioner will ever pray. Winchester, 2.2 d July, 1845. WM. HOLLIS. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER.

Twenty-three afloat Ten in pro,ress 15,245 PACKETS. Nine afloat BRIGANTINE& Three afloat ... One in progress 19,500 812 We have nearly a hundred ships, involving an expenditure of 1,336,250/. This enormous sum applies, it will be remem bered, to vessels many of which are only half finished, and has no reference to steamers, on which an enormous amount of money has also been squandered, without the production of a single vessel that really answers the purpose for which she was intended. Now it is surely competent to any Member of Par liament or public journalist to assert that this immense amount of the public treasure ought not to have been placed at the dis posal of any individual, let his reputation for talent have been what it might, without the most ansple proof of his competency to direct its application. To confine ourselves to Sir William Symonds's four crack ships, the Vernon, the Queen, the Pique, and the Albion—it is a fact, placed beyond the possibility of contradiction, that not one of them has realised the calculations of her constructor ; and that he has scarcely ever produced a ship which has answered his own expectations of her displacement. Among the more flagrant examples of this sort of incapacity may be mentioned the Spartan, the Gorgon, the Victoria and Albert, and the Retribution. Several, like the Gulnare, the Blazer, and the Tartarus, floated so deep in the water that it was nece sary to take out the engines which had been provided for them, and supply their place with others better calculated to conceal the miserable blunders of their constructor. Nor was an ex change of engines the only expedient to which it became ne cessary to resort before these vessels could be commissioned. The Gorgon was bult with a view to carry guns on her lower deck, but the notion was of necessity abandoned and her ports caulked down, or the first gale would have sunk her ; and yet with this fact before their eyes, the Surveyor's patrons permitted him to lay down another vessel on similar lines. The Cyclops, the Victoria and Albert, and numerous others of his ships, have only been rendered serviceable by continual and costly alterations after they were launched; to say nothing of even more expen sive deviations from the original plans furnished by him when they were on the stocks. Yet in the teeth of these formidable proofs of incompetency, blunders which no degree of tinkering or coaxing can ever repair, and which net even the unscrupu lous favouritism of Lord Mint') could conceal—notwithstanding the shield he extended over their author—no qualm o; doubt of any kind as to the propriety of enabling their perpetrator to go on squandering the public money in the accumulation of fresh failures, appears, for one moment, to have entered the heads of his patrons. Nay, so blind was their partisanship, that, in all the pretended trials of Sir W. Symonds's ships with those of other constructors, they took care to have them con ducted on a principle that offered as slight a chance as possible to his rivals; arid if any vessel, like the Barham, offered prac tical proofs of superiority which it was impossible to suppress or distort, they permitted him to break her up, or sell her out of the service. We believe we are within the mark when we affirm that ships have been thus disposed of whose very copper and iron, to say nothing of timber, comparatively undamaged, have produced nearly the sum for which they have been sold. On the other hand, the Vernon and Pique, new ships, have absolutely cost a great deal more than they are worth in alera tinny and repairs, and are now (of the condition of the Vernon at least we can speak confidently) only fit, like the Rover, to be broken up. Tnis by the way; for we propose, on a future occasion, to lay before our readers some details of the condi tion and value of the various ships either broken up or re commended to be broken up by the present Surveyor of the Navy, and the inadequacy of the price obtained for them. Mais, revenir d nos moutons. It is a fact which cannot be gainsaid, and which has been repeatedly admitted in the House of Commons and elsewhere, by men every way corn petent to form a correct judgment on the subject, that during the last twelve years the seienoe of naval architecture has not only not advanced, but has absolutely retrogaded; and that this result is owing to the adoption, nay mere, the protection of the crude theories of unscientific pretenders, who, if required so to do, would be found unequal to the solution, mathema tically, of one of the simplest problems of their art. During the existence of the school of naval architecture, fostered and encouraged by the good Lord Melville, there was, we will venture to affirm, no one of its alumni who could not have calculated with the nicest precision the displacement of a vessel of given dimensions. In our own day, however, and some twelve years after the impolitic dissolution of this valuable in stitution, on the ground, we presume, that an elementary knowledge of ship-building is not requisite to qualify a surveyor of the navy for his duties—out of upwards of a Hundred ships constructed by Sir William Symonds we are perfectly sate in asserting that there are not half a dozen which fulfil, in this simple element of the science, the intention of their constructor. The obstinate repudiation by Sir William Symonds of that aid by which alone a naval constructor can achieve a contemplated result with any degree of precision, reminds us forcibly of the reply of the well-known painter, Fuseli, when recommended by a friend to study "nature," "‘ Hang Nature (said he) she puts me out 1" Sir William seems to eschew the stud/ of the scientific department of his art on the same principle—it " puts him out 1" Yet, ignorant as he is of the science of ship-building, so much so, indeed, as to be unable to solve its simplest problem, he has been permitted to make his " hit or miss" experiments for upwards of twelve years, on more than a hundred ships, and that, too, at a cost of nearly a million and a half sterling 1 Surely, whatever may have been the motives of former Boards of Admiralty in screening for so long a period his incapacity, and affording him the means of increasing the number of his failures, it is incumbent on their successors, who have shown so feealous and anxioua a desire to promote the in terests of the public service, to adopt some mode of releasing themselves from the vast responsibility they are hourly incur ing on his account. Lord Ingestre, aho has a sound practical as well as theoretical k,oss ledge of the subject, proposes the establishment of a board of construction as the only feasible means of arriving at any really satisfactory result. Let the surveyor be a member of this board if it be thought desirable ; but let him, for the future, be restrained from the repetition of blunders which the merest tyro in the science, acting upon known and recognised principles, would be enabled to avoid. THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET. Yesterday we published a summary of the trials between the stops of the experimental fleet, in the accuracy of which results we have the greatest confidence. All accounts agree that the trials took pace in light winds, and for the most part in smooth water, the very weather in which the surve)or's ships have been always stated to have the advantage. Other details of the trial tailings induce a result rather different than our yesterday's summary. We, therefore, give them as they have reached us. By these accounts, there were five trials between the whole fleet " with the wind," and six trials " on a wind," besides other trials one ship with another, and orie class with anothi r. In the trials " with the wind" on July 19 :Ind 22, and August 6, 17, and 18, five in number, the Queen is first, having beaten the others three times out of five, but at the most not above a mile and a halt. The Albion is second, having beat the Queen once, and the Rodney four times out of five. The Rodney is third, having beat the Queen once, and the Albion once. The Canopus is fourth, beating the Queen once, the Albi , n one.., and the Rodney twice. The St. Vin cent is fifth, beating all the ships once, on which occasion the Queen was fourth, more than a mile astern, and the Albion a mile and a half astern ; the Rodney was second on that occa sion, and the Canopus third, only about 32 fathoms from the St. Vincent ; the Superb was sixth, the Vanguard seventh, and Trafalgar last--thus WITII THE WIND.
