Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price anti Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this Into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giVing the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout thikingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

An assemblage of " Gloose" had a lively debate, Concerning the deaths that had happen'd of late. The " debate was commenced in the following strain, By a bird who was view'd as " the prince of the plain" : ' 'Tis dreadful" (said he, as he open 'd his bill), " That sportsmen continue to worry us still ; " But" (said he) " We are not altogether bereft, I think we've a very good remedy left. Let us try to revenge many injuries done, By an carne t petition to MOSES and SON. No doubt if we utter some pitiful notes, They'll at once put a stop to the sale of their coats. I am certain" (said he) " that in MOSES' house, There's a very strong feeling in favour of ' tirouse,• And if selling of . shooting-coats' once could be stopt, The practice of shooting would shortly be dropp'd." "'Foils ! tush !"

TIMES—Two returns have lately been printed by order of the House of Commons, which at this peculiar juncture of affairs will be read with interest, and, we are inclined to think, with satisfaction. The first gives the " amount of horse -power ordered for her Majesty's steam-vessels between the Ist day of e ' s ''''' '' .................... 18 August, 1841, as follows .4 496 N... . amount of horse-power, April, 1839, and the 31 st of , ....... 16,581 September 1841, Horse rower .................. 11,261 Number of Vessels and The Tonnage no r mnn s e bda - ge P dre e o o : . f v e e r vi r b. the Ist day of July, 1844," thu s: — ..... 30 &c., between the I st day of Sept , Tonnage ................. . 26,892 From these statistics it se e m s t hat in the first three years of the present Administration there has been an addition of twelve to the number of our war steamers, with a corresponding increase of more than 10,000 tons in their burden, as compared with the strength of the same department during the two last years of their predecessors —a period memorable for the isolation and the irritability of France, and the grand naval demonstrations in the East. It is, in deed, highly gratifying to discover this accession of strength to an arm of the service on which may de volve the duty of supporting the honour of the Eng lish marine in any future war. And although we are far from desiring that any opportunity for such a display should soon occur, yet when we look to the present aspect of the political horizon, and read the deliberate opinions and pre vailing sentiments of those by whose opinions and sentiments the probabilities of a continental war may be enhanced, and its terrors multiplied-when we see them coolly calculating on the possibility of subverting our power by the multiplied resources of steam navigation, and determining the issue of a campaign by some dexterous stroke of piratical tactics-it certainly does gratify us to find that the present Government has not been wholly indifferent to the efficiency of that peculiar force to which the avowed policy of our prospective invaders has already attributed the faculty of deciding' international con troversies in the shortest and most summary way. We trust, indeed, that their warnings may prove as unnecessary as their predictions false; and that the peace of Europe is in no danger of being violated by the blunders of wrongheaded subordinates, by 'the z al of hotheaded propagandists, or by the truculent a bition of a restless faction. But we know that there is no method at once so effective an I pacific of demonstrating the futility of their predictions, and the emptiness of their gasconader, as the possession of such an armament as they themselves affirm is adequate to cope with all the necessities and fulfil all the functions of a great and powerful navy. While, however, we cannot help applauding this increase in the numbers and efficiency of its war steamers, we would at the same time once more im press upon the country and the Ministry the convic tion that no time should be lost in placing the other departments of our marine establishment on a footing of corresponding magnitude. We may rest assured, that should it be our ill fate-and we may say the ill fate of Europe-to be involved in a continental war, the great conflict which England will have to wage must be determined on the sea; and that the question of maritime predominance or maritime subjection the question which England would then be forced to decide-in a word, the question whether she should abdicate her dominion of the seas or not-can under no circumstances be decided by any number of steamers, however skilfully constructed, however lightly built, however cleverly managed, or com pletely manned. No; the masterdom of the ocean must depend-as it hitherto has depended-upon the bulk and body of her sailing ships-their breadth of beam, their solidity of construction-and, more than all, on the native courage of those who man them. As heretofore, the fate of a great naval battle will depend on the combined science, gallantry, and cool ness of the officers and their men-upon the tact with which the line is broken, or the dash with which the enemy is boarded. No new invented mode of inva sion will prove a successful substitute for these old and approved resources. HERALD.-The writer of that insane article in the Republican National, lately so much remarked upon, how much soever he may be deemed the object of contempt and ridicule in the estimation of the sober and intelligent, peace•loving people of France, is, in our opinion, deserving of the pity rather than the laughter of the united services of Great Britain. It is evident that this gasconnade has been written on the confident hypothesis, reasonably enough de duced from the parliamentary misrepresentations of Lord Minto, and others, that the English navy is in the same wretched condition that it unfortunately was under his Lordship's administration. We have at various times during the last month published the lists of the royal navy, in commission and in ordinary, both sailing and steam-vessels ; we have also given the number of steam-vessels building, amounting to above 10,000 horse-power; and as the National has vaunted its 23 ships on the French stocks, and Sir C. Napier has declared that the French have more ships building in one dock-yard than we have in the whole of our royal building establishments, we shall be pardoned for publishing the following state ment:-There are building, and order to be built, in her Majesty's dock-yards, 57 sailing men of war. Of these, six are three-deckers, viz.-one of 120, and five of 110 guns; sixteen two-deckers -six 90's one 84, and nine 80's ; seven frigates of 50 guns ; four of 36 guns; six of 56" guns; thirteen sloops-three 20's one 18, and nine 16's ; five brigs-two 12's, one 10, one six, and one three. The shipwrights of all the dock-yards, excepting Pembroke, are generally em ployed in repairing vessels. When not so engaged they are turned over to the ships building. Their progress i,p this department has been slow for the last two year's', in consequence of the immense repairs re quired in the ordinary. At Portsmouth two slips have been taken into the site of the new steam esta blishment; but three new slips are being con structed, and are far advanced towards completion. Of the line-of-battle ships, the Royal Albert, 120, is one-third in frame ; the Royal Frederick, 110, is having her sides planked ; and the Victoria, 110, is in a forward state ; the Prince of iWales, 110, has her frame cut and stacked for seasoning; and the Marl borough, 110, and Windsor Castle, 110, have their frames cutting. The Aboukir, 90, and Exmouth, 90, are up in frame, and might be got ready for launching next year ; the Princess Royal, 90, has her sides being planked; the Lion, 80, Madras, 80, and Colossus, 80, are in a forw4l state ; and the Mars, 80, is so far advanced that she could be ready to go off the stocks at the end of next year. The Algiers, 90, St. Jean d'Acre, 90, Brunswick, 80, Cressy, 80, Irresistible, 80, Agamem non, 80, and Majestic, 80, have their timbers prepar ing. The Hannibal, 90, has hers already prepared. The frame of the Sanspareil, 84, is already cut out for seasoning. The 50-gun frigates Constance and Raleigh are building-the latter is in a forward state, and will be launched this year ; the Arethusa, 50, Liffey, 50, Severn, 50, Shannon, 50, and Leander, 50, have their timbers in course of preparation. The 36-gun frigate Flora will be ready for launching in September. The Active, 36, is in frame, and is well seasoned, as the hands have been taken off her for three years ; she could be launched next year. The Sybille, 36, is in a forward state ; and the Thetis, 36, has her timbers all prepared and stacked. The 26- gun frigate Juno was launched last month; the Creole, 26, will be launched about the end of October ; the Amethyst, 26, immediately. The frames of the Alarm, 26, the Malacca, 26, and the Niobe, 26, are all ready. The Calypso, 20, will be launched this year; Coquette, 20, Challenger, 20, and Camilla, 18, have their timbers preparing. The frames of the 16- gun sloops, Atalanta, Dispatch, Elk, Heron, Mariner, Martin, Kangaroo, Liberty, and Zebra, are mostly prepared. The Kingfisher, 12, is nearly 'ready for launching; the frames of the Britomart, 10, and Hound, 6, are prepared; and the Dart, 3, is in a for ward state. SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE. Ships of the Line-22.

If one were to move, in either House, an address to the Crown to remove Lord Aberdeen, the Government would shift the issue, and make it a ques • tion of confidence ; and the Opposition would for the most part join with the Government in discountenanc ing an unsatisfactory and invidious and (on party principles) inconvenient mode of raising the confi dence question. As for us, we are supposed to be only pursuing our calling in denying . all manner of ability to all the members of her Majesty's present, administration ; and a doubt of Lord Aberdeen's capacity will be read, at least by all who are of op posite political belief, as di slike of his politics. We will not stop to inquire how much this belief in the in sincerity of newspaper criticisms on men is the fault of the press itself, or of the whole system of party ; or how much it is only poor human nature after all, not more apparent in the effect of our political likings on our judgments, than in the Tory's disbelief of all he reads in the Globe, and concurrence in the Herald's depreciation of all the eminent members of Opposition. But we will say this for our own sin cerity and desire to he fair —that we should as firmly refuse to d'.sparage Sir Robert Peel's intellectual and moral claims to the respect of those who differ from him, or Sir James Graham's administrative ability, as we now declare our belief that Lord Aberdeen is unequal to the crisis in foreign affairs which his own incompetency has chiefly brought about ; and that we should no more think of denying Lord Aberdeen's desire to promote England's interests to the utmost, and maintain his country's honour, than we can believe in his ability to execute his desires.. The utmost possible, of course, is done, in the for mation of a government, towards placing men of ade quate ability at the head of all the chief departments, and distributing appropriate knowledge and talent among them. Common prudence will lead the Pre-4 mier to do this. But then what are the circum stances which determine " the utmost jessible ?" The choice of men is restricted, first M' all to the members of one part which may be sterile in talent, though unscrupuWs Peer-makers who have gone before have made it numerous in one branch of the Legislature, and money and proprietary power in the other. Then the choice, thus limited to begin with, may be further narrowed by party conven tionalities and engagem en t s : L or d Lyndhurst must preside over the Court of Chancery, as long as he wishes it, while his friends are in power, however much Chancery suitors may rue the indolence of his old age; Lord Stanley's party services must be re quited by a leading office, even at the risk of sacri ficing colonies to the impetuosity of temper, which as much spoils the Minister as it makes the orator effec tive ; and prescription gives the Foreign-office to Lord Aberdeen. But this is a moment when nerve, deci sion, vigour, and a clear head are imperatively needed in the Foreign.office ; and who gives Lord Aberdeen credit for any of these qualities ? At such a moment, the party conventionality which keeps him in office may bring us, before we know where we are, into war, which foresight and rea sonable boldness might have averted, or save us from it by some new weak concession, un worthy of our country's position, and sure to increase our difficulties in the end. Sir Robert Peel's control of Lord Aberdeen alone gives hope to the public of a successful issue for the present crisis in our relations with France—of reparation for the wrongs at Otaheite, • of the prevention of French occupation of Tangiers, of the frustration of French designs upon Tunis. But Sir Robert Peel cannot always be at his elbow. And at this critical time what irretrievable mischief may be done any day, with one stroke of his pen, by the Foreign Minister, who blundered out the excuse for the outrage on Mr. Pritchard that he had ceased to be Consul, and who has been able to see no reason for demanding punishment of the French Consul at Tunis, who unwarrantably interfered with our Consul's performance of his duty in respect to the trial of a Maltese murderer, and by a series of vexatious intrigues among the Maltese at Tunis, en dangered our Consul's life ? Andif there be, as we fervently pray there may, a successful issue out of the present difficulties, will Sir Robert Peel continue to entrust to Lord Aberdeen's weak trembling hands the foreign policy which he has already so grievously mismanaged ? STANDARD.—The Morning Post has extracted from the John Bull an article of some length, de nouncing the Ministerial plans for the improvement of Ireland. To our judgment, there is nothing surprising in the displeasure of the John Bull at the plans in ques tion, or in the adoption of that displeasure by the Morning Post. It would be extremely difficult to sug gest any measure of the present Government with which these parties would not find some fault. Fifteen years ago, indeed, when the battle of the Pro testant constitution was to be fought in good earnest, our Contemporaries were a little more tractable ; but then the contest concerned principles, not private interests, and when did factious writers care about principles ? In 1829 the principle of the Pro testant constitution was abandoned, and little hope seemed to remain for the Reformed Church in the United Kingdom. Its legal defences were thrown down ; and in the only portion of the United King. dom in which a popular influence was acknowledged by the Legislature, namely, in Ireland, the popular influence was hostile to the Church. All true Pro testants then saw, what we believe escaped the notice of the John Bull and Morning Post, that a Parliamentary reform, which would balance the popular influence in Ireland by a popular in fluence in Great Britain, was indispensable to protect the Church and the country from ruin. The remedy was a rough one, and attended with some risk, but it was the only remaining remedy. The Protestant people of this country adopted it : the Irish Romanists had disqualified themselves to resist by their recent struggle : a Parliamentary reform was carried, with many objectionable details beyond dispute, but a Parliamentary reform which, in substance, gave to the people that independent influence upon the Legis lature which allowed the Church to defend herself, and to defend the interests of the Protestant religion, much better than either had been defended by the patrons of schedule A and schedule B. The re form of 1832, in fact, to a great extent, re paired the evil of the Bill of 1829, by placing the Protestant Church in Ireland directly under the protection of the Protestant people of England. We are well aware that the confidence for a few years very unworthily reposed in the Ministers by whom the Parliamentary Reform was effected, exposed the Irish branch of the Church to some severe trials, and to actual injury ; but this state of suffering, incident, perhaps, to every violent change, soon found its term, and the last Ministerial revolution has placed the Irish branch of the Church upon a foundation to which every hour must give additional strength. There is now no question of the safety of the Church in Ireland, we hear of no projects for buy ing off the assaults of enemies by surrender of its property or of its dignity—no proposition to arm its enemies with new means of injuring it. No; the measures by anticipation condemned are measnres the immediate and direct object of which is, no doubt, to raise the Roman Catholic population of Ireland to the condition of the other Roman Catholic populations of Europe—a level to which they have not yet approached, and to incorporate them, as far as the difference of religion will permit, with the mass of the British population ; but the remote and indirect effect of this must be greatly to augment the power and efficiency of the Protestant Church. We see in these measures precisely that system for which we have perseveringly contended—not for one or two ad ministrations, or for half a dozen or a dozen years, but from the first establishment of this journal, 16 years ago—the system namely, of reforming the Romanist clergy, through the laity of their own communion (the only way in which a Romanist clergy ever was or ever will be reformed), and reforming the laity by kindness, by encouragement, and by instruction. The reverse of this was the policy which brought Ireland to her present—may we not rejoice in rather saying her late—condition. The plan of Government in troduced by Lord Glenelg, of governing Ireland by the aid of the priests, had been pretty con stantly pursued from 1818 to 1842, with what effect upon the Romanist population, and with what injury to the Protestant interest, we can all see. "It is certain," says De Retz, "that in government you can never make use of an order no question that the Glene l g w ithout A adding greatly scheme be edmothoefre Irishc the power government infinitely aug mented to the power of that order." l of the priests, the natural enemies of our Church and therefore of England, the natural enemies, too, of intelligence, civilisation, national prosperity, and whatever detracts from an authority founded in i gn orance, and its compa nion, p overt y . Let us hope, Glenelg policy is about to be reversed —that the hig her and middle classes of R oman Catholics are invited to a complete incorporation w ith then, that the their Protestant fellow-citizens, whose society they must naturally have so many motives to cultivate.

The rumour of war with France is now becoming pretty general in the City, and the un d erwr i ters at Lloyd's, it has been stated, have in some cases demanded increased premiums upon the risks they have entered into, to guard against any such contingency. The English stocks certainly closed much firmer this afternoon than the aspect of affairs in the early part of the day would beveled one to suppose, but altogeth e r th er e is not that sta bility in prices which was observable a few days back. .e Committee of Spanish bondholders held theist aeeting to-day, and we find we were right in our anti cipations that they intend to take under their considera tion the claims of every class of Spanish stockholder. They have resolved upon an immediate 'address to the Finance Minister, Senor Mon, on the subject of the long neglected claims of .the hoidens- of both active-anti pas sive stock, earnestly urging the, fulfilment of the decrees passed in their behalf, and a ps.rnianent arrangement for their benefit. They have likewise resolved to address M. Mauguin, the chairman of the Paris Committee, in answer to a letter received by Mr. Thornton, -soliciting the London Committee's co-operation for advsncing the interests of the bondholders. The third act of the Com mittee is in consequence of their having heard that the amount of the various stocks paid in for national pro perties to the Ist of March last, has not been officially announced in the Gazelle as in former instances. They have therefore requested that such notification should be made for the satisfaction of the Spanish creditors. A paper has been printed and circulated in the City, showing the progress of private enterprise in Ocean steam navigation, the facts in which, being presented to the eye at one glance, are interesting, though in an iso lated form they have always been accessible. The line of steam communication between England and America, was established in 1833 by the Great Western steam ship, and maintained by that vessel, the British Queen, and the unfortunate President, till 1842, without the support of Government, or any contract for conveying 'the mails. The line to Halifax and Boston was esta blished by Mr. Cunard, on obtaining a Government contract of 57,000/ per annum to convey the mails 186,300 miles. The line to the West Indies was esta blished in 1842 by parties who, in 1840, took a contract for 240,000/. per annum to convey the mails 684.816 miles. The line to Malta and Alexandria was esta blished in 1110-41 by the Peninsula Company, who took a contract ft 1 31,000/. per annum to convey the mails 72,000 miles. The line between Calcutta and Suez was established in 1842 by the India Steam Company of Calcutta, but no assistance has been granted by. Gover nment for the mails. The line between Calcutta and Suez in 1843 and 1844 was (and is now) :occupi e d by the Peninsula Company's vessels, with a grant of 20,000 Z per annum for five years from the Indian Go vernment, on condition of their performing 38,080 miles the first yecr, 57,120 miles in the second, and 114,200 in the third.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE OF PRUS- SIA TO PORTSMOUTH: Monday his Royal Highness•the Prince of Prussia, accompanied by Several of his suite and by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, arrived at the Gosport ter- Minus by the first train from London. Here they 'were received by Admiral Parker and by Major- General Sir Hercules Pakenham, the IN aval and Mi litary Commanders in Chief of the district (Admiral Sir Charles Rowley being absent on leave), attended by several other naval and military officers. A guard of honour from the 47th Regiment was also in atten dance, with the excel'ent band of that regiment, From the terminus the Prince proceeded to the Royal Clarence-yard, where the party embarked in the, Ad miral's barges and crossed over to the King's-stairs at the Dock-yard. The Prussian standard was hoisted in the barge which conveyed the Prince, and was saluted by the Victory,' Queen, and Excellent. After inspecting various departments of the Dock yard his Royal Highness the Prince, the Duke of Wellington, with a numerous suite of naval and mili tary officers, embarked on board the Comet steamer, for the purpose of going to Spithead to visit the ,Collingwood. Upon leaving the harbour the Prince was saluted from the parade battery while passing. A number of the yachts belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron, the [lames Yacht Club, the Royal Southern, and the Royal Western Clubs, ac companied the steamer to Spithead. When the Comet neared the Collingwood the yards of the latter were manned. She had royal as well as topgallant-yards across, and looked re markably well when viewed from the approaching steamer. His Royal Highness took great notice of her, and expressed himself highly gratified at her ap pearance. When close under the Collingwood's stern the barges where hauled alongside the steamer, and the Prince and party were conveyed in them to the Collingwood, where they were received by the gallant Admiral whose flag she carries, Rear-Admiral Sir George Seymour. Immediately the Prince arrived on board, the Prussian standard was hoisted at the Collingwood's mast-head, and a royal salute fired from her guns. His Royal Highness was conducted through every part of this splendid ship by the gallant Admiral, and examined everything most minutely. Ile frequently spoke in terms of great admiration of what he wit nessed, and left the ship by no means disappointed in his previous anticipations of what he should find a British man-of-war to be. His Grace the Duke of Wellington appeared to be an object of as much at traction and interest to the blue jackets on board the Collingwood as the ship was to the visitors, all were anxious to get a sight of the hero of a hundred battles. The Collingwood again saluted and manned her yards upon the Prince leaving her. When the Comet re turned to the harbour, she hove-fo close to the Vic tory, and the Prince and party went on board to view the ship, which forms so prominent a feature in - the naval history of the country. The spot where the immortal Nelson fell mortally wounded, in the 'hour of victory, was pointed out to his Royal Highness. After having inspected the ship, his Royal Highness went up the harbour, and on board her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert. Upon going on board, and leaving the Victory, the Prince was saluted, and the yards manned. At five o'clock, the royal party returned to the Royal Clarence-yard, and proceeded to the terminus, where a special train was in readi ness to convey the Prince to Basingstoke. FRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVIES. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—As no naval officer will probably condescend to the easy task of refuting the shallow boasting of the National, I, though a landsman, and therefore, perhaps, imp - Lr congressu, will undertake to question its hopes and deny its facts, not by reasoning on what the French navy may do, yet has never done ; but by submitting to the French public—can they submit to so mortifying an undertaking?—the perusal cf two boarding exploits, achieved within their own ports, in the face of their own blockaded fleets, by a frigate and a sloop of war—exploits without parrallel in the whole Of their naval records. I extract them from the works of the most impartial of our historians, Mr. James, who has obtained from Dupin himself, the jealous advocate of French honour, the praise of fairness to our adversaries. If the writer can find anything parallel to them, or if he can deny or extenuate them, I submit to a nonsuit, and I will not seek a new trial, by appealing to the crowded catalogue of similar daring with which our history teems in every sound and sea, each creek and bay. On the 7th of July, 1800, four French frigates, lying in Dunkirk harbour, were attacked bya squad ron of small English frigates and sloops of war. The Dart, of only 30 guns, ran alongside of the Desire e , of 38 ; Lieutenant Af'Dermott, at the head of the seaman and marines, boarded on the forecastle, and carried all before him, though severely wounded. The Desiri!e's cables being cut, and the French crew a second time repulsed, she was carried over the banks, which could not have been passed half an hour later. The English lost but 10 men killed and wounded— the French 100, including all her officers. Captain Inman, the commodore, sent all the prisoners, who were dreadfully wounded, on shore, and was thanked for his humanity by Captain Castagnier. The three other frigates escaped by running away. The second boarding exploit was, if possible, still more daring, as it was performed in the sight of the combined fleets of France and Spain, in Camaret B a y, near Brest. The French 20-gun ship corvette Chev rette was discovered at anchor, under heavy batte ries, a position considered perfectly secure. The cor. vette had taken on board men to the number of 339, including soldiers,_ had her arm s a n d amm u niti on on deck, and load e d her guns almost up to the muzzles with grape -shot. In token of defiance she had dis played a large French ensign, above an English one. Nine boats hastened to the attack, but five of them went in chase of another vessel, and only four re mained for this desperate service, and they contained but 180 men. Nevertheless, after a furious resistance, the corvette was carried against three-fold numbers. The victors lost 11 killed, and 57 wounded; the French, 92 seamen and soldiers killed, 162 wounded. Whenever the French navy can show actions such as these, it will be time to talk of their glorious vic tories, glorious defeats, the terror of their " arines blanches"—Lot not till then. Your most obedient servant , P. Brookes's, St. James's-street, August 18. P.S.—ln the war between 1793 and 1802, the French navy sustained a loss of not less than 74 line of-battle ships, either taken or destroyed by us, to gether with 160 frigates, mounting about_ 12,000 pieces of cannon, taking no account of smaller ves. sels, gun-boats, &c., NEW GAME.—We have already shown that larks are classed in France as game, and we now find that sparrows are within the same category.
