NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET. TEE LATE TRIALS.—Facts ultimately creep out not withstanding the exertions that are made to suppress them. Among them we may mention the jockeying of the Queen, and the rolling of the Albion as de scribed in the following statement of plain facts, from an officer on 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 sea. When the signal was made to open ports and run out lower-deck guns, the Trafalgar's ports were up and guns out on both sides, immediately. The Albion attempted to obey the signal with one port, and closed it again directly ; tried again a second time, but could not keep it open ; tried the third time another port forward, but shipped so 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 at all, must have gone over the Trafalgar in one of her rolls, and under her keel in the other. The Vanguard and 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 the command 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 superintend ence of the trial sailings, and we reiterate our belief that in the gallant Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., the Admiralty and the country have an officer, whose robust health, nerve, and great experience, will ensure the satisfactory completion of the objects for which the 'experimental fleet was formed. The fleet is at present under the command of Sir H. Pigot, at Cork, and since their arrival at that place its officers have been filling up the vacancies 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 Trafalgar, 120, Captain Martin, with the same total complement, 935, is about 70 short. The Queen, 110, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, has filled up her number 760, and 145 additional marines -905 men. _ . _ The Rodney, 91, Captain Collier, C. 8., has her com plement, 705, and 121 additional marines -826, within hal r . a-dozen. . _ The Albion, 90, Captain N. Inekyer, C. 8., has her full complement the same as the Rodney, 826, with a gre-►ter number of able seamen than any ship in the fleet. The Canopuq, 84, Captain Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., has her full complement, 645, and 121 additional ma rines-766. The Superb, 80, Captain Arrnar Lowry Corry, has her full complement, 766. The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willes, is a great number of officera short of her full complement of 766 men. The following officers have not joined their ships Mate, G. M. Smith, appointe , d to the Trafalgar ; Mid shipmen A. Bathurst and E. W. Shaw. to the Rodney ; IL 1). Mercere. to the Albion ; C. Fairholme and J. Balfour, to the Superb ; Naval Cadet Juhn Hussey, to the St. Vincent. (From the Plymouth Times.) The wise 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• struction, 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 in vain. It is really not a little curious to observe in what a wholesale way persons interested, either as partisans of the Surveyor of the 2sav3?, or as having a pounds-shillings-and-pence hold upon the Navy Office, treat the question of naval science, without inquiring at all into the conditions of the experiments made —without classifying, arranging, or deducing any general fact their entire point seems to be the stability of the Surveyor of th e N avy, as i f the i r pre j u di ce d op i nions, or sheer existence, depended on ships having won a sort of race a a sailing ma t c h ; and then, if it should so happen, ship on the Surveyor's models obtains a slight ad vantage over others, there is immediately a large amount of hard words thundered forth, 'ex cathedra," from Somerset House, the p urport of which is to vilify every one w h o h as had the hardihood to call influestiou th e i n f a llibili ty of the and Surveyor of th e N avy, thejudgment o f t h ose about him, into whose incompetent an dconceited hands too much of the shipbuilding interest of the country is unhappily placed. But let us look at this question in the plain, simple, dis passionate way in which any p experiments, would draw practical deductions from sci ( e ) n n . ? • be likely to view it. We will take fi t tt ;s e t theex three-deckers as five two-deckers as. ships of one class; and,lnsecmoankdhhoi, ships of another class. led to inquire whether they are si this milnrlayrraancgteedmoenn,t'twheatairs,e rount of oving whether they are all inipelled by the sa ecers are so m a earl force. Now, the weights of the three-7de the same, and the weights of the two-deckers canvass, that it' they had really spread the same quantities of interesting and not experiment would have furnished very nvass, the unimportant data for the naval architect; unfortunately, however, the experiments are, in this point, a god devitiated, still they are not altogether without great claims to l attention. We will take the two-deckers for example, four of these—viz., Rodney, Canopus, Vanguard, and Superb— have precisely the same dimensions of mast and yards, and carry for all practical purposes about the same quantity of sail. The Albion differs from these ships in having about 2,000 • square feet of canvass more than the others, and a greater amount of mast and yards : in fact, the foremast of the Albion would make a mainmast for the three-decker. Any one, therefore, at all accustomed to draw deductions in. science would immediately draw his pen through such a case as this, as not being sufficiently comparative; that is to say, supposing he wished to discover whether certain ships of a former period either equalled or excelled certain other ships of a more recent period. This, then, places the question to be con-idered under the following arrangements : Height of \ Are of Coi:structed by Sail. I s; r E . s epo.ng. 2 7 : t't. 3 in. square t if he F rci ,, 3 1.

C su a i n ,e o r p i) t s Vanguard .. . . . : 7.3..., 00 : 67 Now, the published statements all agree that in the late trials with these ships the supaiority of the Rodney and Canopus over the modern ships has been manifest ; in fact, the N anguard 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 advantage, 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 i n proportionate area of sail, and therefore the experiment with this ship is not comparative. Now, .of the throe-deckers, we have the same source of v•-• 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 cativas.s in her working sails more than the other three-deckers, whilst her displacement is nearly the same. We must l oo k 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 . . • a was, that if she was so splendid - 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 rangements greatly altered ; in fact, she came out of the doc tors' hands altogether another kind of thing; and hence could no longer be eonsidered as the same ship for any pur pose in practical science before experimented with. The friends of Mr. White, the talented yacht-builder, at Cowes, and who is now 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 these 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 differences in the sailing have been commonly very small. In the meantime we shall keep a 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 Navy-office writers this, that no obloquy they may endeavour to cast on us, 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 but 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 correcting 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 saying, that whatever abuses may have existed in the old regime of the Navy Board, they have been far exceeded by the regime 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 science of the service has been much more confined and muzzled to suit the views of indi viduals. The iron hand of power has 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. Above a million and a half of money have been expended upon the building of ships designed upon the empirical views of a single individual, and many of which are now known to be deficient in very essential qualities. Besides this, we have an enormous amount expended on our steam navy, which, so far as the science of naval construction is concerned, is left, notwithstanding, in a most unsatisfactory state. It I is in vain that flattering and specious reports are got up to blind the public upon all these points. Truth still continues to dispel the vapours which are made by interested parties to envelope it. A very illiterate writer in defence of the Navy office, through the columns of a London weekly print, ridi culously enough inquires, " Whence came the experimental brigs? ° and how does it happen " that so many ships of war, from three-deckers to steamers, are now being built by dif ferent constructors?" We will tell him. They have 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 country 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 public service by the School c-f Naval Architecture?—Never. Would the late Admiralty have ever sent such ships to sea in competition with those designed by the Navy-office?— Never. We recommend these gentlemen who appear to be catching at straws with a view to save themselves from sink ing, to waste no more time in manufacturing 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 come. The whole of the surveyor's department must be re modelled, and something like an intelligent and thinking set of men employed to conduct the department of our dock yards ; so that we may escape that random 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 Superb and Vanguard, two of the ships on the modern con struction, said to be the best 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, spreadity , a much larger area of sail, from which we draw this imp o rtant' 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. are not to lay down any pipes for the supply of water within certain districts already supplied by water com panies.

INTERESTING DISCOVERIES AT WESTHANI ABBEY, ESSEX. A few cLys since thel workmen 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 tho 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 whit,. 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 he sting apparatus. Had only common precaution been used, this curious relic of other days might have been preserved and removed entire. It would be very de,irable, 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 whose use the bath had 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 after 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 passage does not open as it proceeds, the traveller would have to crawl on his hands and knees the entire was . The mare general opinion is, that it is an old aqueduct leading to the river. If so, it is very large, and built with great strength. The place is well worth the visit of some antiquary qualified to decide between conflicting con clusions. FEROCIOUS BAND OF ROBBERS. A trial, which has highly interested the inhabitants of the Pyrilnees Orientales, commenced on the 2d instant, before the Court of Assizes at Montpellier, and con tinued to engage its attention without intermission until the 9th. For a long time the frontier of Catalonia was infested with a ferocious band of robbers, known under the name of " Traboucayres," from their being generally armed with a species of carbine, or rather ;blunderbuss, called a trabouc. Towards the end of last year the special commissary of police stationed at Perthus ob tained information which convinced him that the small village of Las Illas, on the French side of the boundary, had long been made by these bandits their place of retreat from out of the reach of the authorities of Spain. Hereupon a strict watch was kept over the houses in the place, and more particularly that of a farmer named Vincent Justafri They were frequently surrounded and searched, but the counter-vigilance of the malefactors 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 bad 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 Justafrd'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 Justafrb, 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 him, a movement in the brushwopd 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 sur• render," was the word of the sergeant ; but it was scarcely out of his mouth ere 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 htt had to contend with fourteen brigands, all armed with their traboucs, while he had 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 further 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 Faytons were again entered and searched. The body of one of the bandits killed the day bef,re was found, and in a hollow of a rock 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 a knitted that he belonged to the band, and received pay at the rate of 2f. 50c. a day. Ho 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 C ercos, after wards acknowl e d ge d 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 comrade, and have it buried. The res; of the band after the defeat made their way back to La; Illas, where three more of them were arrested as they were making their way from the house of Justaft é to a public-house called " Classe Haute." Among these was a man named Fang, 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 tafr6, 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 Justafr6, the farmer, Jacques Justafr4, his brother, and Jacques Laporte, the keeper of a house of public entertainment, all of Las Illas, Jacques Pontounet, of Nlassanet, 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 circum stances establishing the connexion between the Trabou cayres and the two Justafrtla, 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 the jury, who, at eleven in the evening, retired, and remained in deliberation till four in the morning. The Court being then resumed, and the prisoners being called in, the foreman of the jury delivered in the verdict. It declared Farr& Rolland, Renard, and Pontounet, not guilty ; whereupon the President immediately ordered them to be discharged. Cercos was found guilty of having made himself party of an association of malefactors, of being an accomplice in the crime of armed rebellion against the lawful authori ties, and of complicity in an at tempt 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 harbouring known malefactors. The jury found extenuating circumstances in favour of the three last. Consequently, the President sentenced Cercos to the psi_ of death, and condemned Vincent Justafre to close con finement with hard labour for eight years, Laporte to simple imprisonment for five years, and Jacques Jus tafre to the like punishment for one year.—Gaiignarti. THE GOVERNMENT DRAINAGE BELL. The Government B:11 (prepared by Sir James Gra ham) for the improvement of the sewerage and drainage of towns and plpulous districts, and for making provi sion for an ample supply of water, and for otherwise promoting the health and convenience of the inhabitants, is now printed, and avowedly for the purpose of consi deration during the recess. It occupies 110 pages, and the heads of the clauses alone fill seven folic► pages, closely printed. It is intended that the Act shall extend to the whole of England and %Vales, except London, and come into operation in such places as her Majesty, by the advice of her Privy Council, and after inquiry by an inspector, shall order. The Secretary of State is to appoint the inspectors, the salaries of whom are to be paid out of the consolidated fund. A certain number of commissioners are to be elected by owners and occu piers, and the number of commissioners are to he in pro portion to the number of inhabitants. At the first elec. tion, owners and occupiers of property rated to the poor to the amount of 101. are to have a right to vote ; an d one third of the commissioners are to go out of office every third year. In corp:aate towns a certain number of the commissioners are also to bo selected from the town council. Commissioners are also to be selected from borough justices and from local boards of trustees, and their property qualification is to vary according to the population. Commissioners to appoint a civil engineer to be a sur veyor. Lands and buildings to be provided for the deposit of refuse, materials for highways (of which the Commis sioners are to be the surveyors), carts, implements, &c. Commissioners to pave and flag, not only the public streets, but, if necessary, others also, and charge the expenses in the latter case, to the owners of adjoining property ; after which, streets before private, to be main tained by the public. The surveyor to fix the levels of new streets. A new street—if a carriav road—tobe notless than thirty feet wide ; if a footway only. twenty feet. If, in either case, the building be higher than thirty or twenty feet, the street or footway to be so much wider. Foot ways to be opened at the entrance, from the ground up wards, the full width of the roads. A medical officer is proposed to be appointed, subject to the approval of the Secretary of State, to inquire into and report upon the sanitary condition of any town or di trict, and such medical officer is to perform past modern examinations when required b;• the Coroner. The commissioners may further, on report of the said medical officer, order filthy and unwholesome houses to be cleansed and whitewashed ; and an inspector of nuisances is to be appointed for superintending the general execution of the provisions of this Act ; and for receiving complaints and laying information, if ne cessary.

(From the Birmingham Jo'n•nol.) 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 whole 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 impolicy, 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 and 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 branch 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, because this has not 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 lament 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 prospect 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 ject 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 encourage mining operations, remitted the tithe on coal, to which minerals 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 the royal forests, which formed an important item of the public revenue. From the best statistical materials at our disposal, we find that the consumption of mineral coal in France did not exceed four millions and a half of metric quintals ; each quintal being about an English hundred weight. The present consumption averages about fifty millions of quintals, and the following table will give the rate of increase : Coals of native Imported coals, Years. production, m. q. m. Q. Coals actually consumed minus those exported, m. q. 1815 1820 1825 1830 1835 1840 1845 The last return is partially based on calculation, but it is certainly under the amount that the completed return will present. 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 fifty mil lions of metric quintals. In England the production of coal is to a great extent identified with that of iron, because our coals and iron are interstratified ; while, on the contrary, the iron mines of France are for the most part situated at con siderable distances from the coal measures. Hence charcoal is more extensively used than mineral coal in the production of iron, and the proportionate amounts are thus stated in the report of the Administration of Mines for 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 Turf 8,100 steres 6,500 ditto 39,000 ~, 10,000 ~. T0ta1....... 43,049.000 francs. This statement is of great importance in explainine. 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 mea sures 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 w as 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 assu re d by a pe r s on l arg ely engaged in tho trede, that coal which could be bought for fifty or sixty centimes at the mouth of the pit, woul.l 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 i 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 p asse d over by statistical writ ers ; t as to we a h andin consequen ce , t h e secret of the Parliamentary in. fluence possesei by the F renc h mo nopolists of the iron tre great a r e e x a t d e v n extent noticed, escape s detection.cigiefl yderived That ade strength,h from the proprietors of- forests, who dread nothing so much as a decline in the consumption of wood and charcoal. Before quitting thi s part o f t h e su bj ec t, it may not be amiss to notice that peat or turf is in some parts of France as important an art i c l e o f consum ption for fuel as it is in 'rebind ; the annual amount cut and raised is more than five millions of quintals. The chief herbaries are in the departments of the Lower Loire, Isere, Doubs, Pas-de-Calais, La Somme, and L'Aisne. SINGULAR CHARG E OF HOUSEBREAKING. -011 Monday last, at the Borough Police-court, a young man of respectable appearance and connexions, n amed Robert Wright, was p l acked in the dock under the following circum stances:—Mr. Sadler, superintendent of police, said the pri soner was the son of Mrs. Wright, grocer, of Heaton -lane, and he was charged on s usp i c i on of hav i ng f orc ibly, and with felonious intent, entered the house where he himself resided, with his mother and his brother, William Wright, and with stealing a consi d era b le sum of money therefrom. At six o'clock on Sunday evening, the prisoner, with his mother and brother, went out to go to Tivi tdale Chajiel, all the doors and window s b e i ng l eft secured at home. The prisoner went with them as far as the chapel crates, and then left them, and, as he stated, weal up to the Ash public house, and also to see a young woman with whom he is acquainted. The information obtained we , that afterwards or at twenty minutes before seven o'clock, he wa s seen to return, and go up the entry which is next to the shop, and leads to the back door of the premises in which the parties reside. Tie remained in the house a short time, and then came down the entry again, and it is stated by a young woman who sat at the entry end daring the whole of this time that no other person went near the back of the house that night. When the prisoner's mother and brother returned from chapel, they immediately discovered th a t th e h ouse bad been entered by means of a false key, and upon s ,, arching, the brother discovered that the cash -box, which for safety had been placed under the bed and mattress in which he and his brother slept, had been. taken away, broken open, 21/. in gold and silver abstracte('. 4 and the box afterwards thrown on the fire. Upon further inquiry made the next morning, and on examination of the premises, together with the account given by the brot her, Mr. Sadler felt it necessary to apprehend the prisoner,, and he now applied for his remand until Wednesday, in order that the case against him might be prepared. Ile las ac cordingly remanded.---Manchater Guardian,. SUPPLEMENT TO THE EVENING SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, (.PROSPECTS of THE WINE TRADE WITH FRANCE. (From the league.) We lately receiv,d the following letter from M. Bastiat, whose work on Cobden and the League has been recently reviewed in this pap( r. Although, as he has himself seen, the subject is cne 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 agriculturihts 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.

To the Aft-mberi 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. GI the gallon a tax of Is. the gallon, with an additional duty of 20 per cent. 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 actin g 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 288. and 3s. the gallon:— t 1 .

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 submitting 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 custly 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 hectuiye 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 com plicati ns of the rate-book (cadastre) 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. 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. But those to whom I address myself, are they the Re formers, who would plead the cause of excessive fiscal 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 would effect an immense and continually prgressire commerce 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-Bths of which we may calculate would be ordinary wines (virus 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 millions sterling. At present two millions only are re ceived. 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. 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! 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 Englan l 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 reneuace this fixed duty, and let the infinite variety of our productions he 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. tages, 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 openin,4s for your manufactures as for our produc tions, fur (our fields as for yours; and the time will come, I trust, whets you will be able to transform your ships of war into roe rchant vessels, and when we shall be able to turn our young soldiers to occupations of peaceful in dustry. Peice without, justice within, prosperity everywhere can a rae.•e 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.
