Tire LATE rßtAts,—.l.hvq.4 ultlinttely creep out not withstandin the exertions tirzt are made to suppress them. Among them we may mention the jockeying of the Queen, anti, the rolling of the Albion as de scribed in the follovvine statement of plain facts, from an officer lAI board one of the ships of the fleet ; " The time the wind blew a breeze two days only dUring the cruise, the Trafalgar beat the Queen each day dead to windward, with a head =ea. When the tlignal was made to open ports and run nut lower-deck guns, Trafalgar's ports were up and guns out on both flitle3, immediately. The Albion attempted to obey the signal with one port, and closed it again directly ; tried egain a second time, but couH not keep it open trio(' the third time another port forward, but shipped acy much water that it was obliged to be closed. The Trafalgar shipped no water, but proved her capabilities as a man-of-war, with three tiers of guns available for action ; but the Albion, a great 90-gun ship, larger than the Trafalgar, had only one tier, and then rolling so awfully that her shot, if the guns could have been fired ott all, must have gone over the Trafalgar in one of her rolls, and under his keel in the other. The Vanguard arid the Superb also, in the attempt to open their lower-deck ports, received a good ducking. " When the Queen is heeling half a degree less than - the Trafalgar, she places 100 men on the weather side of her deck, to keep her from going too much on her lee side, this jockeying making the ship's company her shifting ballast." Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., having, in conse quence of ill health, resigned thenommand of the expe rimental squadron, to the great regret of the officers commanding the respective ships, that gallant officer will return to the superintendence of Portsmouth dockyard, with universal esteem. We have, on two occasions, pointed out his probable successor in the suaerintend ence of the trial sailings, and we reiterate our belief that in the gallant Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.B. , t h e Admiralty and the country have an officer, whose robust health, nerve, and great experience, will ensure the satisfactory completion of th© objects for which the exvlri me ntal fleet was formed. Tbe fleet is at present under the command of Sir H. ri go r, .at Cork, and since their arrival at that place its officers h av e been filling up the vacaneies in their com plements. The St- Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, out of her complement of 840, with 145 additional marines, 985, is still about 80 short. The Trafalgs+ 190, Captain Martin, with the same total complement"; 985, is about 70 short. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, has filled up hor number 760, and 145 additional marines -905 men.. er The Rodney, 92, CaptainCclli C.B. has her coin prtaient, 705, and 121 additional marines-826, within half. a-dozen. • -The Albion, 90, Cap tain N. Lockier, C. 8., h with a as her fall complement the sam e as the Rodney, 826, greater number of able seamen than any ship in the flect. The Canopus, 84, Captain Fairfax Moresliv, C. 8., hag her full complement , 645, and 121 addition-al Pa ?inn-766. The Superb, 80, Captain Armar Lowry Corry, has her full complement, 766. The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willes, is a great number of officers short of her fuil complement of 766 men. The following officers have not joined their ships : Mate, G. M. Smith, appointed to the Trafalgar • Mid shipmen A. Bathurst and E. W. Shaw , to the R odney ; H.D. Ikrercere, to tho • Albion ; C. Fairholme and J. Balfour, to the Superb ; Naval Cadet John Hussey, to she St. Vincent. . _ (From the Plymouth Times.) The rise policy of the Board of Admiralty in having stopped the building of certain ships on the models of the Queen and Albion, and in bringing into competition the sail ing and other qualities of vessels of different modes of con- rtruction, has been fully established both in the late trials with the eight experimental brigs, and subsequently with the same number of ships of the line. Our present object is to call attention to the latter, to in quire what truths they elicit, what great practical facts can be drawn from them—for without some such process as this, the experimental fleet has been sent to sea m vain. It is :really not a little ClrliollB to observe in what a wholesale way persons interested, either. as partisans of the Surveyor of the Navy, or WA having a pounds-shillings-an -p.m e ,upon the e c hold Navy Office, treat the question of naval science, without inquiring at all into the conditions of the experiments made .-- , without classifying, ;in; ging, or deducing f a ; their entire p int :' any general ler theirstf) be the stability of the Surveyor of the Nav o y, as their sheer existence, depended on Prejudiced opinions, or ,0r,,, t ri t l il, if it should so happen, ,f race,in a sailing match‘ and n sh . ips having won a sort models obtains a slight ad fi.tat a ship on the Sure l e nlex t e l at iatly a large amount of ~,,,,ta ge over others, there is i , n , h ar d words thundered forth, Somerset ry irc' o rn ne who has House, the purport of which is to vilify every those about him, too much o f had. the hardihood ,to call in q ues ti on the o rallibility of the ,Surveyor obi he Navy, and the jud gment into whose ru , .?mpetent and conceited hands the shipbuilding,interest of the country isi unhappily placed. But let us look 4; 1 this question in the plain, simpl e , dis pasisionate way in which any pe rsons, at al t accustomed to draw practical deducttons from scientific exneriments, would be likely to view it. 'We will take first the . three-decker tillips of one cla.ss; and, ~e c,lndly, the five two-deckers s as e as ships of another class. In making this arrangement, we are led to inquire whether they are similarly acted on, that ' w h e ther they are all impelled by the same amount of movi r Z force. Now, the weights of the three-deckers are so nearly 1b e Acme, and the weights of the two-deckers also, that if the v had really spread the same quantities of canvass. th e , x poriment would have furnished very interesting and not for the naval architect ; unfortunately, 3eriments- aIT, in this point, a good deal are not altogether withoutgreat claims to d take the tw . - o-deckers for example, four dnev, Canopus, Vanguard, and Superb— same dimensions of mast and yards, and ical 'purposes about the same quantity of ditThrss-font- these ships in having al•out of canvass more than the others, and a mast and yards: in fact, the g.)retalit,rif aiskt: a I tminmaAt for the three-decker. to ilniw deductions in ri tlin , u;.:l) such a case •t all acc.u.4.oll):fl - ,tl) - r.,(tnlideratiN that is ) SaV be crisbod to discovvr w:iet.btT ckrtAin chips 01 a 411111° 7.

Penalties are to be imposed for a failure of a supply of water ; and water-mains are to be kept full under pressure. At the request of the town council, the Secretary of State may order the inspector to report on applications to Parliament for local Acts. A sewer rate, paving rate, and general rate are to be - made and levied on the occupiers of houses and other property.

THE -jII.ON TRADE OF FRANCE. PROSPECTS of THE WlNh TRADE WITH FRANCE. (From the League.) We lately received the following letter from M. Bastiat, 'whose work on Cobden and the League has been recently reviewed in this paper. Although, as he has himself seen, the subject is one which does not alto gather come within the scope of the League, we know that it is one in which a deep interest is felt by the Free Traders of France. The agriculturists and wine-growers of the south sensibly feel that they have been sacrificed to the selfishness of the northern manufacturers, and eagerly seek for a removal of those restrictions which, by preventing exchange, set a limit to their productions. In their own country, where the most influential part of the press is under the influence of the monopolists, they find it difficult to obtain a hearing ; and we are, there fore, glad to have an opportunity of giving to their com plaints the advantage of the publicity of our columns. TRANSLATION. To the Members of the League, to the Officers of the Board of Trade, and the Ministers of the British Government. The League demands the principles of commercial reform, the Board of Trade elaborates them, and the Minister converts them into laws. It is to these three degrees of jurisdiction that I address the following reflections : As England does not produce wines, the duties which affect them cannot be regarded as, protective. On this account they come - not within the scope of the condem nation of the League. Further, it is seen that wines stand in the list of the eight articles, on which it ap pears that the action of the English tariff is to be relaxed. Nevertheless, a duty, though fiscal, is opposed to free dom of. commerce, if by its excess it prevent internationl exchanges ; if it preclude the people from enjoying those gratifications which in themselve involve nothing that is immoral ; if it in any way restrict them in the choice of their habits, although the pretext of the public re venue (in reality, however, it is a sacrifice of revenue) may serve as an act of reprisal against hostile tariffs, or be held in reserve to operate. It is because the English Government have decided to prefer justice before the vain considerations of a false and narrow policy that she proposes, as I am informed, to substitute for the present fixed duty of ss. 6d. the gallon a tax of Is. the gallon, with an additional duty of 20 per cent Height of Area .of Ships.

(From the Birmingham Journal) It is, unfortunately, too notorious that the " protec tion" conceded to agricultural produce in England has induced the continental nations to adopt a similar system with regard to manufactures, and that in France, what are called the protected interests," hold the same .pre ponderance in the Legislature that the landed gentle men possess in England—we should rather say . that ' they are at this moment in possession of the allele le gislative power, being supported by the prevailing pub lic opinion of the most influential persons throughout France. It is strange to find in almost every part of the Continent a general delusion respecting the colonial trade of England ; even statesmen are found to declare that it is because of the large profits obtained by the English in the colonial markets, that they are enabled to undersell their. European competitors in neutral markets. The Belgian manufacturers, no longer protected by discriminating duties, have abandoned the Banda and Java markets, but instead of attributing their inability to sustain English competition to our supe riority of production, they are persuaded that it arises from our having large profits on the India trade, which enable us to do without profit in the Java market. We may well be astonished that so palpable a delusion should be so generally prevalent, but we must re member that men may be brought to believe any absurdity which is constantly reiterated, and of which they are never permitted to .see the refutation. The entire press of France, whatever may be the dif ferences on questions of political party, is entirely under the control of the monopolist manufacturers, ' and is therefore, interested in suppressing any fact that may tend to show the injustice, the irepolicy, or the absurdity •of the protective system. To a very large party in France, the chief recommendation of ma nufacturing monopoly is, that it is anti-English ; this party,.though large, does not possess a majority, either in numbers, intelligence, or wealth, but it more than atones for this deficiency by its energy arid activity. In declaiming against foreign competition, and exciting national prejudice, there are none more active than the persons who are engaged in the production and manufac ture of iron in France, and we shall, therefore, take a glance at the past. state and present condition of that hianch of French industry. But, before doing so, we deem it advisable to give a sketch of a collateral subject, the production of coal in France, be cause thi s h as no t hitherto been noticed by any English statisticians. Our materials for this sketch are derived from the reports made annually to the French Chambers, and from pri vate sources of information, which a concurrence of favourable circumstances opened to our research. Every one who has seen London from the top of St. Paul's or the Monument, and Paris from the towers of Notre Dame or the heights of Montmartre, must have been struck by the peculiar aspect which the absence of smoke gives to the latter city. The buildings stand out in bold and prominent relief, without anything to soften their stiff outlines ; and, on the other hand, without any fog or mist to obscure the definition of their form. Frenchmen, no doubt, will laugh at the prejudice which leads us to lenient the total absence of smoke as injurious to the effect of the. panoramic view, but it is fair to con fess that Many Englishmen find the prospeet of the French capital harsh and startling, from the glaring - distinctness of its spires and pinnacles. It is, of course, an article of faith with all Parisians that this absence of smoke contributes equally to the beauty of the city and the health of its inhabitants. So early as 1520 complaints were made of the introduction of Eng lish coals for domestic purposes into Paris, and the sub"- jeet was referred to the consideration of the Faculty of Medicine. A committee of inquiry was appointed, and, after some delay, an elaborate report was presented, stating that with certain precautions mi .eral coal might be consumed without involving any injury to public health. When prejudices were removed, the new com bustible began to be regarded with favour. • Henry IV., to .encouragr, mining operations, remitted the tithe on coal, to which mitpirals were subjected, as being what the fedual laws called "royalties: Louis XIV., one of the great patrons of the system of protection, imposed a duty on foreign coals to encourage - home-production. This, at least, is the reason assigned in the royal edict •, but many writers have ascribed the tax to a more selfish motive—the monarch's dread that the consumption of coal would interfere with the consumption of fire-wood from tile royal fonsts, which formed an important item of the public revenue. From the best statistical materials at ourdispottl, we find that the:consumption of mineral coal in France did not exceed four millious and a half of metric quißtals ; each quintal being shout an English hundred weight. The present consumption averages about fifty millions of quintals, and the fellowing table will give the rate of nerease " Now, the published statements all agree that in the late trials with these ships the superiority of the Rodney and Canopus over the modern ships has been manifest; in fact, the Vanguard and ,Superb were invariably. beaten, even by the three-deckers. If we take the Albion into the account, however, the statements go to show that she has had upon the whole the advaitage, though in some instances very ' slight, over the others ; but then it is to be remembered, that she is a vessel of much greater power, both in capacity and in proportionate area of sail, and therefore the experiment with this ship is not comparative. Now, of the three-deckers, we have the same source of discrepancy to contend with. It is admitted that the Queen had out-sailed not only.the other three-deckers, but the whole fleet ; but then it is to be recollected that she has nearly 3,000 square feet of canvass in her working sails more than the other three-deckers, whilst her displacement is nearly the same. We must look also the changes which have been made in this ship since her last trials, in which she was decidedly beaten by the St. Vincent. Now, here it is to be observed, that no sooner did the Queen fail to realise all the superfine reports set afloat about her from the Navy office, than she was taken into dock at Chatham for extensive and expensive alterations ; the plain inference from which was, that if she was so eplendid a ship as the Navy-office writers described her to be, these alterations were unneces sary. If she was, on the contrary, as proves to have been the case, a very indifferent ship before, such alterations would be likely to improve her. Now the - alterations were these : The stern-post was thrown aft at least two feet, and a new rudder fitted ; the bow was filled in and lengthened very considerably by means of a false bow ; she had four feet ad ditional gripe, and a false keel nine inches deep; the position of the masts was changed, - and the internal fittings and ar ian;-;errients greatly altered ; in fact, she came out of the doc tors' hands altogether 'another kind pf thing; and hence could no lenger be eonsidered as the same ship for any pur pose in iSraetical seience before experimented with. The friends of Mr: White.,-the .talented yacht-builder, at Cowes, and who isnow constructing some ships for the Admiralty, in sist upon the fact„ that the present superiority of the Queen in sailing arises from carrying out Mr. White's principles of lengthening the bow, as applied by him to some of our fri gates. Be this, however, as it may, there can be no doubt, according to the late reports, that the Queen, thus altered, has even succeeded in beating the Albion in general sailing qualities. The experiments, however, must be considered still in a state of progress; and we, therefore, feel unwilling to enter upon any very lengthy discussion of them. It may be that when a more severe winter's cruize shall have tested further the qualities of theee - vessels, the question will assume another character. In the present case, as appears by all the accounts hitherto published: by far the greater number 'of trials haVe taken place in very moderate weather; whilst the differenees in the sailing have been commonly very small. In the meantime we shall keepa vigilant eye upon the further trials of these ships, and any changes or alterations which may be made in them ; so that the merits of the great question between, the Surveyor's office and the country—viz., a profuse expenditure of the public money upon an exclusive and empirical system of ship-building in the Government service be fairly and fearlessly laid open. And we tell the interested Nayy-office writers this, that no obloquy they may endeavour to cast on u:, no :abusive or hard names with which they may assail us, will in any degree tend to turn us aside from the:duty which, as public journalists, in a great naval port,. we owe not only to-ourselves hut to the navy. It is now upwards of fifteen years since a great political party came into power, under the flag of reform, with a view to correetino- abuses in different departments of the state. The Board of Admiralty and the Navy Board especially fell under the cognisance of the Reform Parliament, and the conse quence was, that most extensive changes took place in that, department of the Admiralty. Now, we have no hesitation in saving, that whatever abuses may have existed in the old regime of the Navy Beard, they have been far exceeded by the reiime which succeeded it ; there has been a far less sys tematic and fair state of things in our dockyards, a much greater lavish of the public money, the general ability and naval seienc.. 'of the service has been much more confined and muzzled to suit the views of indi viduals. The iron hand of power tins been exercised with unscrupulous severity throughout the dockyard service, and has been backed by a subserviency in those whose interests were at stake quite unparalleled. INTERESTING DISCOVERIES AT WESTHAM ABBEY, ESSEX. A few days since thetworkmen employed in exca vating for the new branch railway which is intended to run from the Stratford station of the Eastern Counties line to the mouth of the River Lea, near Blackwall, lighted upon some curious and interesting remains con nected with that monastic edifice, the only portion of which previously remaining was the low heavy Gothic entrance adjoining the Adam and Eve public-house. Just where the line crosses at the rise of the Adam and Eve gardens, and not more than about two feet below the grassy surface, a sort of chamber was discovered, which, however, was nearly half destroyed before the men began to clear away with any caution, but" what remained was sufficiently perfect on Sunday last to show its size and form. It is of an oblong shape, rounded at one end and square -at the other, about twelve feet long, eight feet wide, and five feet in depth. The outer wall, which is of strong masonry, is about six inches thick. Within that is a layer of cement, which is again lined with thin red tiles of peculiarly close texture ; and over these, on a thinner stratum of . cement, the sides are (or rather-were, for the greater part has been already taken away by curiosity) neatly lined throughout with Dutch tiles finely glazed, similar to those seen on old-fashioned fire-places, but without the designs, being all of a pure. white. It is clear that this chamber, which; when whole, must have been a very handsome one, was intended as a lavatory, for which purpose a well, which was discovered within two or three feet of it, furnished an abundant supply of water ; but there was no trace of any besting apparatus. Had only common precaution been used, this curious relic of other days might have been preserved and removed entire. It would be very desirable, when so much excavation is going on through out the country, if workmen had instructions, espe cially near the old sites of ancient edifices and historic places, to pause on any unusual appearances until an examination by qualified persons takes place. At a short distance was found a number of human bones, amongst which was one skeleton, nearly perfect, the last 'remains, perhaps, of one of the fair recluses for whlse use e - the bath h ad been constructed. These relics of mortality, it is said, were instantly dese crated by some sacrilegious wretch, who took and dis posed of them to a bone purchaser for a few pence. A few yards lower down towards the Thames the work men broke into an archway very strongly built, some what alter the Danish manner, which has given rise to much conjecture;• The passage, into which an entrance is effected-through the opening, runs east and west; and ' some supposed that it formed a subterraneons mode of ' escape to the inmates of the abbey as far. as Barking, in ' the event of any impending danger. If so;the journey would be a very tedious one, for if the pmsage does not open as it proceeds, the traveller would have to crawl on his hands and kneeS the entire way.

However, in permitting even a fixed duty of ls. to re main, are you really doing justice to the British people on the one hand? And on the other, are you acting upon a large and wholesome policy with regard to the French people? To these two points I beg to be per mitted to call your attention. But what right has a stranger to meddle in such a question? The right which I derive from your own principle:—freedom of trade--does it not imply a com munity of interests amongst nations? In employing myself about your country, I work for my own; or, if you prefer the expression, whilst I occupy myself about my own, I labour for yours. That a uniform duty applied to different values is un just. is a proposition which requires no demonstration. I shall confine myself on this point simply to showing in figures the results of the three systems, calculating that the maximum and minimum prices of the wines capable of furnishing a trade of any importance would be 28s. and 3s. the gallon:-- Wine of the Rich.

A trial, which has highly interested the inhabitants of the Pyrkees Orienteles, commenced on the 2d instant, before the Court of Assizes at Montpellier, and con tinued to engage its attention without iuterrcission until the 9th. For a long time the fronVer of Catalonia was infested with a ferocious band of - robbers, known under the name of" Treboucayres," front their being generally armed with a species of carbine, or rather a:blunderbuss, called a tralesac. Towards the end of last year the special commissary of police stationed at Perthue ob :eined information which convinced him that the small village of Las Irks, .on the French side of tie iscundary, had long been made by these barelits their place of retreat from out of the reach of the authoritieS of Sp a i n .' Hereupon a strict watch was kept' over the houses in the place, and more particularly that of a farmer_ named Vincent qustalre 'They were frequently - s u r roun deif aria seelrefied, but the counter-vigilance of the tnalefactors was such that the police, though in great force, was always defeated in finding them, although traces of their having been pre sent immediately before were apparent from the frag ments of a larger repast than could be required for the family being found on their tables, from there being also scattered about cards that had been played with, and even pieces of money, part of what had been staked on the game ; and, lastly, - by expressions used by mem bers of Justafre's family, which had been overheard. Indeed, it was afterwards proved that during more than one one of these searches the brigands were in the house of Justafri. concealed in a secret space be tween the ceiling of the stable and the floor of the hay and corn-loft. Detachments of soldiers were posted at every essential point along the French side of the frontier, when about one in the afternoon of DeCember 6, that stationed at the mill on the river Mouga, within the territory of Custiyas, received notice from the Alcalde of Ribeilles, on the Spanish side / that some men of sus picious character had been seen in the forest near Faytons, in France. The sergeant went out immediately With four of his men, to explore the country. Coming to the top of a rock which commanded the woods, he observed, a few yards below Mtn, a movement in the brushwood that convinced him some persons were there endeavouring to hide themselves, and cried " Who goes there?" "-Spain," was the reply. "What regiment?" " Traboucayres."' Lay *down your arms and stir • render," was the word of the sergeant ; but it was scarcely out of his mouth era a volley went over the heads of him and his party. He immediately returned the fire, and . with his own musket killed one man, while another was brought down by one of his men. It was then found that he had to contend with fourteen brigands, all armed with their traboucs, while he bad only with him four soldiers and a guide. Somewhat dispirited by the. loss -of their own men, and perhaps thinking the force 'opposed to them was greater than it really was, the Traboucayres retreated towards the Spanish frontier. - Here, however, they found the bank of the Mouga well guarded by a party under the Alcalde of Rebeilles. Upon this the brigands took up a-po sition under some oaks, and recommenced their fire upon the French, but finding that they were likely to be placed between the two fires they retreated along the river, and the French, from their inadequate number, and the nature of the ground, found that all farther pursuit Would be useless. The French and Spanish soldiers both remained on the alert till the next day, when the commandant of the company came from Saint Laurent with a reinforcement of gendarmery, and the woods of Fay tons were again entered and searched. The body of one of the bandits killed the day before was found, and in a hollow of a reek close by were perceived the feet of another man endeavouring to conceal himself. On being challenged he begged not to be fired upon, as he was unarmed and would surrender. He admitted that he belonged to the band, and received pay at the rate of 2f. 50c. a day. He 'protested that he had not fired, but this was Contradicted by the appearance of two carabines on the spot, both of which had evidently been discharged. This man, whose name. was Cercos, after wards acknowledged that he was one of those who had assailed the sergeant's body, and had come back into the wood to endeavour to carry off the body of his slain they y Las were I l la s m , where aidng t a h f e r e r e t m h o e r d e e o f f e a t themma d w e e their r r e way s comrade, and have it buried. The rest o f t h e b and ted bte as k their way from the house of Justafri to a public-house called " Classe H aute ." A mong these was a man named Farris, believed to be the captain of the Trabou cayres. While these prisoners were under examination another search was made at the farm of Vincent Jus tafrCe and during the time the authorities were search ing the house, two gendarmes, placed as guards at the outbuilding, were rushed upon and killed by fourteen Traboucayres, all of whom escaped for the time, but some of them have since been taken, and will be brought to trial separately. The men arraigned on the present prosecution were Vincent JustafrCe the farmer, Jacques Justafr6, his brother, and Jacques Laporte, the keeper of a house of public entertainment, all of Las This, Jacques Pontounet, of Massenet, in Spain, son-in law of Laporte, all accused as harbourers of the bri gands, and resisters of the authorised force of France, and the four brigands who had been taken in the con flict. The witnesses were numerous, and as some of them were Spaniards, their examination prolonged the trial to the length we have mentioned. Their evidence consisted chiefly in details of the conflicts between the armed force and the brigands, and the circume stances establishing the connexion between the Trabon.: etsyres and the two Justafres, Laporte, and Pontounet, and produced nothing of interest beyond the proof of the facts, with their circumstances. On the 9th, the President having summed up with great care and im. partiality, the fate of the prisoners was submitted to I the jury, who, at eleven in the evening, retired, and remained in deliberation till four in the morping. The Court being then resumed, and the prisoners being called in, the foreman of the jury delivered in th e verdict. It declared Farr& Rolland, Renard, and Pontounet, not guilty ; whereupon the President immediately ordered them to be discharged. Cercose was found guilty of having made himself party of an association of malefactors, of being an accomplice the crime of armed rebellion against the lawful authorie' ties, and of complicity in an attempt to kill agents of the public force in the exercise of their functions. Vincent Justafr6 was' found guilty of all the above offences, ex-- cept the attempt to kill ; and Jacques Justafre and La- . porte of haebouring known malefactors. The jury found extenuating circumstances in favour of the three lasts, Consequently, the President sentenced Cercos to the pai , cif d eat h , and cmidemnecl Vincent Justaft6 to close con ment with hard labour for eight years. Laporte to. simple imprisoniaent for five . years, and Jacques ,Tus tisto6 to the like _ punishment for one year.—Galignani. Above million mid . a half of money have been expended noon thebuilflinr=ofstilp= designed upon the empirical views of a single individual, and many of which are now knovn to be deficient in very essential - qualities.

They hare pro ceeded from the succession to office of a firm, upright and in telligent Conservative Government, backed. by the. public press, - which has opened the eyes of -the eountry,to the real state of naval architecture in the Government service. That is the immediate source of these new proceedings ; but for this we should have known nothing of such measures. Would the late First Lord of the Admiralty or the present Surveyor of the Navy have ever tolerated the building of ships for the service by the School cf Naval Architecture?—Never: Would the late Admiralty have ever sent such ships to sea in competition with those designed by the Navy-office?-- Never. Warecommend those gentlemen who appear to .be catching at straws with a view to save themselves from sink 335. 6d. I These figures require no comments. At present, in an equal expenditure, the poor pay eight times more of tax than the rich. In the proposed system they would pay double. The ad valorem system is alone equitable. I have had - the honour of verbally submilting this, to some of our most celebrated economists, to Members of Parliament, and to statesmen ; they by no means question its justness .; but say they, an ad valorem duty is costly and difficult in its application. • But is the difficulty of application sufficient to justify the perpetration of an injustice ? In France the admi nistration would have found it very convenient to charge each heodail e of land with a uniform impost without re ference to its relative capabilities, but it was never dreamt of ; the Government, however , has not found the corn piked ns of the rate-book (ea &tare) insuperable. The reason is very simple : when a nation in mass meets with some obstacle, the nation in mass should face and over come it. To cast the burden on one class cannot be done without iniquity, more especially if that class be the one the least able to bear it. 3s. Cd Coals of waive Imported coals, productiou, m. q. w. q.

'We have first to remark, that while the amount of native coal has increased in the ratio of 1 to 4, that of imported coal has increased in the ratio of 1 to 7 ; but notwithstanding this increase, the consump tion of wood and charcoal is equal to three times the consumption of mineral coal, amounting to forty-five millions of steres, weighing one hundred and fif ty mil lions of metric quintals. In England the production of coal is to a great extent identified with that of iron, because our coals the iron are interstratified ; while, on the contrary, the iron mines of France are for the most part situated at con siderable distances from the coa l measures. Hence charcoal i smore extensively used than m i ner al coal in produc t ion of iron, and the proportionate amount s the are thus stated in the report of the Administration of Mines f or 1835, since which time there has been little if any change in the relative proportions : Metric Quintals. Value. Charcoal ...... - 6,090,000 Mineral coal 2,068,000 Coke Wood T ur f Besides, the defenders of the mixed system cannot urge this objection. For the mixed system itself implies the possibility of levying the graduated duty. They urge, it is true, that without the fixed duty it would be necessary, lest the revenue should suffer, to increase the ad valorem duty, which in that case would present too great a temptation to fraud. ing, to I;aste no more time in manufacturi ng excuses—no more money in purchasing the privilege of abusing their opponents in one or two solitary London journals, which find it con venient to print their paltry productions—their time is nearly cline. The whole of the Surveyor's department must be re-. modelled, curl something like an intelliwent, - and thinking set of men employed to conduct the department of our dock yards ; so that we may escape that randoin course of pro ceeding which is at once discreditable to the national science and ruinous to her Majesty's Treasury. The amount of the late trials with the ships on the Sur veyor's models and these of former times appears to be simply this, viz.. that all other things being equal, those with a fuller midship section below the water line have the best sailing qualities, since they have beaten the Suporb and Vanguard, two of the ships on the modern con struction, said to he the hest ever produced. 'With respect to the Queen, she is really anybody's ship, and there can be little doubt but that she owes her success to a similar quality, .aided by recent alterations in her extremities. When the Queen was first commenced, it is well known that the Surveyor of the Navy was, by the late Admiralty, or dered to • improve upon a ship then already in frame, and which, had a full midship section under water, after the old.. school , It was upon this fact that the friends of the " in tuitive" system, directly the Queen had failed in her compe tition with the St. Vincent, began to disclaim her as not being a vessel of their own immediate construction ; and we remember - well hearing thelate Sir Thomas Hardy condemned for having interfered with the full development of the form chosen by the Surveyor of the Navy. But now, however, that the queen, having a lengthened bow, after the plan re commended by Mr. White, is said to have succeeded, these same persons are all alive to her merits. But the fact is, that if the success of the Queen proves anything, it evidently shows that with a midship section essentially different from any other of the intuitive productions, she is a better ship, since she has beaten another of their large class ships, viz., the Albion, an enormous ship on two decks, spreading a much larger area of sail, from which we draw this important fact, that with a fuller and more buoyant midship section under water, the Albion would have been a better ship, and would then probably have carried the armament intended for her, which now she does not. But those to whom I address myself, are they the Re formers, who would plead the cause of excessive fiFcal duties ? When you wish to increase your revenue, what is the secret you have now for some time dis covered ? It is simply to moderate your taxes. This policy has never failed you, and at this very moment the results of-lowering the duties on sugar furnish a brilliant illustration. I believe it may be considered as certain, ,that with a moderate duty of 20 per cent.; England wo u ld effect an immense and continually progressivekcommerce in wines. France consumes forty millions of 'hectolitres, notwithstanding the taxes and trammels (as though the object were to destroy it) with which this branch of industry is burdened ; is there any exaggeration in supposing that Great Britain with its immense powers of consumption would purchase a tenth of the quantity purchased in France, say four millions hectolitres, 7-Sths of which we may calculate would be ordinary wines (vies ordinaire) at 35., and 1-Bth of fine wines at 28s. as a medium ? Now in this hypothesis, the Exchequer would secure between three and four m illions sterling. At present two millions only are re ceived. T0ta1...... I have said, in the second place, that a uniform duty appears to me impolitic. England being fully convinced that the prosperity of a nation is measured better by its imports than its ex• ports, has undertaken to open its ports to the produc tions of other nations without waiting for reciprocity, or without even demanding it. Her principal object is to make commercial legislation harmonise with sound political economy ; but secondarily she expects to influ ence other nations by her example ; for, until commerce be universally free, she can only- reap one half of its fruits. This statement is of great importance in explaining the Parliamentary strength of the iron monopoly in France ; it shows that all the proprietors of forests are, or believe that they are, deeply interested in its main tenance, and as the House of Orleans holds a vast pro perty in forests, the weight of the Government is se cured to the support of monopoly. France possesses forty-six coal measures of varied ex tent. In 1841 concessions had been made of 392 mines, 256 of which were in actual work ; 670 pits were sunk, and 365 galleries formed. The greatest depth was 479 metres (about 490 yards), in the mines of Auzin. The service of the mines employed about 146 machines moved by horses, and 388 steam-engines, having a force of 9,667 horses. The mining population was estimated at 30,000 in actual work. One-third of all the coal raised in France came from the coal measures of the Loire, and nearly another third from those of Valenciennes. A glance at the map will show that the coal measures of France are most inconveniently situated for traffic ; means of transport are sadly wanting, and the selfish interests of the forest proprietors are a great impedi ment to their being provided. We have been assured by a person largely engaged in the trede, that coal which could be bought for fifty or sixty centimes at the mouth of the pit, • would cost from three to four francs at any of the great centres of consumption. There is a growing jealousy, not to say hostility, between the pro prietors of mines and the proprietors of forests, to which the increasing use of coal for domestic purposes has not a little contributed. As yet the culinary arrangements in French kitchens are chiefly contrived for burning charcoal, but we observed in the ironware shops a great number of kitchen ranges suited to mineral coal, and on inquiry, we found that, since the opening of the railroad to Saint Etienne, mineral coal was fast superseding wood in Lyons and its neighbourhood. We have dwelt at some length on this subject, because the relations between the coal and iron trade of France have been generally passed over by statistical writers ; and in consequence, the secret of the Parliamentary in fluence possessed by the. French monopolists Qf the iron trade has to a great extent escaped de.leetion. That strength, as we h ave a l rea d y not i ce d, is chiefly derived from the proprietors of forests, who dread nothing so much as a decline in the cousuresption of wood and charcoal. Now, as respects the influence which this initiative of a mighty commercial reform may exercise on other nations, how, immense the distance between the fixed and the ad valorem duties! THE GOVERNMENT DRAINAGE B ILL. With the uniform duty, you will continue to receive some of the wines of Xeres and of the fine vintage of Champagne and Bordelais. The topmost boughs, the aristocratic branches of England and France may re main in friendly contact, your rich lords will give the hard across the tariffs to our great proprietors; but do you wish that your population and ours should be placed at all points in mutual contact ?—that an active and regular trade between the two people should penetrate into every district, into every commune, and into every family? Do you expect to see the agitation cross the straits and strike its roots firmly into our soil? Then renounce this fixed duty, and let the infinite variety of our productions be admitted so as to satisfy the infinite variety of your tastes and fortunes. Then the free traders in France will have a large basis for their operations; for knowledge, amity, the desire for free exchange will descend into our very cot ters, and every fireside will have some defender of the principles of eternal justice. And have I need to state to you the consequences? The power of consumption will extend itself in France as in England; there will be openings for your manufactures as for our produc tions, for our fields as for yours; and the tint% will come, I trust, when you will be able to transform your ships of war into merchant vessels, and when we shall be able to turn our young soldiers to occupations of peaceful in dustry. Peace without, justice within, prosperity everywhere —can a mere difficulty of application weigh in your es••' timation with results like these? a difficulty which you have overcome in the article of tea, and which you can not evade in the mixed system which is proposed.
