PORTSMOUTH. The Lords of the Admiralty have given instructions that while the new -class brigs are to be built upon the lin eg or draft of the respective constructors, the specifica tion of the material and scantling,- of - the several vessels are to be all the same ; that the frame shall be of oak, the beams of African timber, and the planking of oak, larch, &c. Each vessel is to have the same corn p!ement of men, the same masts, yards, spars, sails, rigging and stores, to carry the same weight and arma ment, and to stow the same quantity of water and pro visions as the others. The only difference that will be made will be in the ballast, of which each vessel will carry that quantity which its constructor may conceive necessary to give his vessel the proper stability. They are all to be ready and ataunt by May. The Firebrand, now at Portsmouth ready for commis sion, and the Vulture, now fitting at Sheerness, are con sidered the most perfect and beautiful steam vessels in the service. _ I' I ,o 'o 4,0° ° ........ ....."

P ri ce _ Sir PETER LAURIE rose to call the attention of the Court to the very awkward manner in which the names of those brokers who retired from business were spoken of in the advertisements in the newspapers. These gen tlemen, many of whom were possessed of great wealth, were described in the public notices of retirement from business as " discharged," so that many readers might be led to suppose that they had actually run away.•—(A laugh, and cries of " Hear.")

Yesterday having been fixed for the re-examination of the persons charged with being concerned in the late ex tensive wills forgeries, the Court was crowded as soon as the doors were opened. r'he Lord Mayor took his seat upon the bench shortly after eleven o'clock, and almost immediately afterwards William Henry Barber, Joshua Fletcher, Thomas Griffin, and Georgiana Dorey, were brought up in the custody of Forester, the officer.

This Line, of 54 miles in length, - is intended to connect the great productive agricultural district of Lincolnshire, and the towns of Lincoln, Gainsborough and Doncaster, with Wakefield, the principal corn and cattle market for the manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and with 'the series of large and important towns bordering upon the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway through out its entire course. The country into which this line will extend having never possessed the advantages ofrailway comiaunication with the chief • market for its produce, which has been thus compelled to make use of a circuitous and tardy conveyance, this undertaking will at once remove many of those difficulties with which the home-grown corn of that neighbourhood has hitherto contended in maintaining its ground, even in its own market, against the importation of foreign grain ; at the same time that it offers in return the means of rapid and cheap carriage of coal, coke, stone, salt, and lime, more especially of the two latter articles, to a very large extent, for agricultural pur poses, at a reduction of probably not less than 50 percent. of their present price. By this means a return cargo would be assured for all vessels employed in the conveyance of agricultural produce to Gains borough and Lincoln. As regards passenger traffic, a considerable. intercourse already. exists between the several towns on the proposed line, as well as with Wakefield and the • manufacturing districts, and there can be no doubt that a similar increase to that which has always resulted from an improved and rapid communication, may be justly antici pated. These views being confined exclusively to the traffic peculiarly be longing to the locality of this line, it is_unnecessary to enter into spe culative considerations as to the probability of any extension of the Railway system in that important portion of the kingdom. . After a survey of the country through which the line passes, the engineer has reported to the Committee that the works will be of easy construction and inexpensive, and the gradients of a very favourdble character; the latter is especially a matter of paramount importance to the economical working of the very large goods traffic that will naturally flow upon this line. This object will be still further secared by an arrangement with the - Manchester and Leeds Company for working this line in conjunction with their own, which will be a suf ficient guarantee that thiS important item-of railway expenditure will be reduced to a very moderate amount. . A more legitimate project cannot be contemplated than this, which so Intimately connects the productive industry of the farmer with the constant and growing demand of a rapidly increasing manufacturing population.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. • .• Mr. R. L. JONES said he happened to know a gentle man who had been a broker, and who now resided in the Isle of Wight, with a fortune of 150,000 L, with the same ungracious word " discharged" before his name. The Town Clerk, having spoken to the Lord Mayor, said the question was one which necessarily belonged to the Court of Aldermen, but as his Lordship had directed that an answer should be at once given, under the existingcircumstances, he had only to say that the word ." discharged" was an official and technical word, used in strict conformity to the order of the Court of Alder men, and was by no means iatended to convey any im putation whatever. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The powers that be, protective of white crops, seem sadly inveterate against black diamonds. An anti-commercial instinct, however, seems to rule their fiscal measures in both cases. They tax corn that we may not buy it, and they tax coals that we may not sell them. How it ever should have entered into the heads of men professing commercial liberality, and intimating that they were only withheld from carrying it farther by respect for great vested interests—men professing a desire to untrammel 'trade, and throw their imposts on realised property—to fish for a miserable plum—the savings of some single grocer—by taxing an increasing export trade, dependent solely on extreme cheapness of production is. one of the greatest mysteries of Peel policy. Providence, we know, has its mysteries; avd a zealous Peelite has reminded the world that Providence; and Peel both begin with P. But we trust it is something short of blasphemy to point out the inconsistency of this wretched coal-tax— and the Minister's arguments for it—with the fair side of what ever else he has done. Sir Robert Peel actually gave as a reason for this stupid impost, that it was as well to keep cheap coals for ourselves, instead of letting our rivals have them. This from the Minister who was actually letting in rival products at lowered duties, and making a merit of it 1 This from the Minister who was sanctioning the exportation of machinery. Well I what have been the consequences of this miserable •and miserably motived coal-tax ; and what are likely to be the consequences of the new coal-tax contemplated is the port of London ?—for the purpose, forsooth, of defraying the cost of a Thames embankment along the Middlesex side, and affording the Londoners splendid and gratifying views of sheds, wharves, and chimnies in Surrey. We have before us the statistics of the French and Belgian Coal and Iron Trade, published by M. Leon Faucher, in his work entitled L'Union du Midi" It appears from these, that in 1840 our coal was displacing that of Belgium in the north ofFrance, and par ticularly at the great manufacturing depOt of Rouen. In 1837 the French tariff had lowered the duty on all foreign coal in equal proportions—viz., English from 110 to 55 centimes, and Belgian from 33 to 16k per hundred kilogrammes. At these latter rates, the consumption of English steadily gained on that of Belgian coal,- and had increased 15 per cent. during the subsequent three years. The quantities of the entire consumption in France stood thus in 1840 : N.B.—Next the Btill Inn, 121, HOLBORN-HILL. Mr. Parry said, he understood from Mr. Freshfield that it was not the intention of the prosecution to offer any fresh evidence. He had stated on a fornier occasion that he be lieved the prosecution was suppressing a case which, if made public, would raise a strong presumption on behalf of Mr. Barber. It had not been stated at the time that Mr. Barber was not in any way connected with that case. He now, however, stated, and he trusted it would go forth to the public, that Mr. Barber was not in any way con nected with the transaction to which he had alluded. He wished that case to be brought forward, because it would ap pear that another solicitor had been entrapped in precisely the same manner • • • had been entrapped. ad been entrapped 4 0 , r'• • ;,, entrapped— ., highest tri v s as • .

Mr. Barber's solicitor had been employed in tracing out the facts, and had co mmun i ca t e d a ll the information he could obtain on the subject to the prosecution, but Mr. Fresh field had not thought it right to bring the case forward. The last fortnight had been consumed in making these in quiries, and there had not been time to prepare Mr. Barber's defence; he therefore asked for a remand over the ensuing Sessions.

Mr. Freshfield denied that there had been any desire on the part of the prosecution to suppress anything. With re gard to the case of Mary Hunt, Mr. Barber's then solicitor was in possession of all the circumstances of that case two months ago. If Mr. Phillips, who had been called for the proscution, was aware of circumstances favourable for the defence, whose fault was it that those circumstances had not been elicited upon cross-examination? With respect to the supposed case of forgery to which Mr. Parry had alluded, the evidence amounted to this, that a person residing at a house, in the name of - a person who had made an affidavit, denied that she had made such affidavit. That was all the evidence in the case. His own supposition was, that a for gery had been committed ; he believed he knew by whom that forgery had been committed, and that individual was dead. Mr. Barber was not in any way connected with the case, and he could not see how it could possibly assist Mr. Barber to have that case gone into. If the request for a remand had been founded simply on the circumstance that there had not been time to prepare the defence, he should not have objected to it, nor did he object to it if it could be proved that delay was necessary.

Mr. HICKS brought up a Report from the Land Com mittee. It stated that, by the direction of the Lord Mayor, there had been laid before them several commu nications from the Lords of the Admiralty, wherein serious complaint was made that merchant steamers were in the habit of navigating . the river at Woolwich inside of the Government moorings (between them and the Dockyard), whereby great risk of danger arose from the ignited particles from the funnels descending on the wharfs, within the limits of the present Dockyard, where large quantities of combustible and inflammable materials were frequently deposited; that notice had been issued to such steamers to desist from repeating such conduct without avail; and the Committee therefore recom mended the adoption of a by-law inflicting a penalty of 101., upon every steam vessel which , should approach within 350 feet of her Majesty's Dockyagl_ or arsenal.

The many novel and varied'advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting polioies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cont. on the amount already invested; and this bonus according to an equitable scale may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of Alture premiums Policy.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.---OD Wednesday the annual meeting of the Proprietors of University College, Gower street, took place at the Lecture Theatre of the Institution ; the Right Hon. the Earl of Auckland in the Chair The Secretary read the Report, which commenced with a state ment of receipts and expenditure for the past year. The • . , amount of fees received from students in t he Colle g e was 7,2211. Bs. 4d. ; from the junior school, &c., 4,4451. 13s. 6d from the hospital practice, 2,469/. 15s. ; donations, 500/. These and sundry other items made the receipts of the year 22,354/. 18s. sd. On the side of disbursements there were— Payments to professors, 5,0291.165. Bd. ; payments to masters in the junior school, _3,699/. 10s. Bd.; to the hospital, 2,4691. 15s. • ordinary payments on the College account, 3,5301. 9s. 4d. After deducting some other claims, there re mained in the hands of the Treasurer 5551. 2s. 9d. The number of students for the year had been as follows :—ln the faculty of medicine, 324 ; in the faculty of arts, 158 ; being ten less than during the session 1841-2. In. the junior school there were 380 boys, being twenty-five less than during the session 1841-2. The amount of fees received had been :—ln the faculty of medicine, 4,827/. 18s. 4d. ; in the facUlty of arts, 2,399/. 10s. ; in the junior school, 4,4151. 13s. 6d. Some changes had been made in the pro fessorships during the year, in consequence of the retirement of Professor Potter, and the death of Professor Kidd. The credit of the College had been well sustained at the Uni versity, about three-fifths of the exhibitions, scholarships, &c., having been gained by students of University College. A donation of 5001. had been received through Lord Brougham. The Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope sub mitted three resolutions, the object being the appointment of a person to read prayers and the Scnptures daily in the College, no compulsory attendance being requi re d. Th e third resolution affirmed that the College had failed to realise the object for which it was established, and that it was desirable to make it a family as well as a d ay sc h oo l . Mr. Hutton and Mr. Warburton,. M.P;, opposed the resolu tion, which, for want of a seconder, fell to the ground. The following noblemen and gentlemen were elected to fill the various offices for the ensuing year: President, Lord Brougham. Vice-President, the Earl of Auckland. Treasurer, John Taylor, Esq., F.R.S. Council—M. Clarke, Esq., W. D. Christie, Esq., Karl Fortescue, James Heywood,)Esq., S. J. Loyd, Esq., James Thornely, Esq., M.P.

IN MARYLEEONE.--It was stated on Thursday,in the course of an inquest, that there were in Mary lebone workhouse 2,165 persons, 300 of whom were labouring under asthma, and 15 under acute bronchitis. IMPROVEMENTS AT WINDSOR.—Mr. `Tebbott, auc tioneer to her Majesty, has just received...instructions from the Commissioners of 'Woods and Forests to sell forthwith (preparatory to the ground tieing cleared to carry into effect the extensive improvements contemplated by the Crown) the whole of the materials of her Majesty's Upper Mews, on the 'western side of St. Alban's-street, erected in the reign of George the Third. The. Woods and Forests have recently purchased several houses on the Castle side of Thames-street, and are in treaty for the purchase of many others in the same vicinity, which will be razed to the ground, in order, ulti mately, to widen this part of the public thoroughfare, and thus to carry into effect the original plans contemplated by George the Fourth. It is expected that the now vacant space of ground in Sheet-street, upon which formerly stood the Royal Lower Mews, will be let by the Crown on long building leases for the erection of a crescent of first-rate houses, now so much in request in the town of Windsor. Mr. William Farren was among the promenaders in Regent-street on Thursday. It will gratify the admirers of this unrivalled artist to learn that he appears to have re gained his usual health. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. Another Bonus will be declared in the present year. The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto efferei— every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty, will, at sixty five, give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16s. 6d., or 3491.

Mr. BOWER brought up the Report of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee, to which it was referred to take into consideration the petition from the Associa tion for the Relief of the Poor of the City of London and the parts adjacent, for pecuniary assistance in aid of the funds. 'lt stated, amongst many other facts, that during the season ending 27th of March, 1843, the Association delivered to poor applicants 30,290 bushels of coals, and 424.0601b5. of potatoes; and during the present season, to the 15th of February, 12,237 bushels of coals, and 171,3181b5. of potatoes; and, in consequence of liberal donations of the Court, and of several benevolent parties, the price charged to the poor for 841bs. of the best coals - and 141bs. of the best potatoes, was reduced 'last year from ninepence to the low charge of sixpence, and the coals and potatoes were delivered to the poor recipients who lived within the City free of all expense, at their own habitations, which arrangement had proved very beneficial, but caused great additional expense to the Institution. That the receipts of the Association last year amounted to 2,5571. 10s. 7d., and the expenditure to 2,4011. 16s. Bd., and that there were at the bankers, when the' petition was presented, 1,0101., comprising nearly all the subscriptions of the current year, of which 4551. had been since paid for coals, and potatoes, and much larger purchases of these articles must be made to provide for the tickets issued for the poor, and for more coming in. That the Association hoped to issue the same number of tickets as last year, which would require a further outlay of 7001. for coals, and 3901. for potatoes. That the free delivery already cost 2181., and would in volve a further outlay of 2301., besides the expense of printing and other expenses, in return for which several sums, amounting together to 1,1001„ the Association ex pected by the sale of tickets to realise only about 4501. The Report concluded with recommending the grant of the sum of 2001. A discussion took place which, on account of the eon: versational noise in the Court, it was impossible to hear distinctly. Mr. ANDERTON objected to the management of the charity, by which the.poor were deprived of a great deal of the advantages intended and expected by the benevo lent contributors. He condemned the machinery by which, he said, the poor were obliged to pay out of the allowance a much larger per centage than was received by tradesmen for their goods ; and he advised a re modelling of the plan, for the purpose of extending the charity, instead of permitting it to be swallowed up by an injudicious expenditure. Mr. Loi-r said that no public charity could, it was well known, be carried on without expense, and the City kitchen was certainly regulated by a most active and discriminating zeal for the benefit of the poor objects. One of the lea,ding features of . the new arrangements was the free delivery of the articles to the poor, and the recipients were most grateful 'for a change which pro tected thein from the plunder to which they had been subjected from persons who deprived them of their money, and their tickets. • Mr. R. TAYLOR said the question was, whether good was done by the charity . tantamount to the expense in curred. Now he was given to understand that by the delay the poor experienced in waiting for nine penny worth of coals they were losers of sixpence. .Mr. Lorr declared that such a statement was part of a system of calumny to which the charity had been ex posed for some time. 'Mr. PEWTRESS thought that much good might be in troduced by a more' ingenious system of management, calculated to reduce the expenditure. The cost might, he was of opinion, be reduced five per cent. • • Deliuty CORNET' said the present cost was less than five per cent. He strongly commended the whole plan upon which the charity was conducted, and argued that any change would be a change for the worse. The Report was then agreed to. It was, after some discussion, referred to a Committee to consider and report whether any, and what addition should be made to the salary of Edward Bullock, Esq., in respect of his services in the Central Criminal Court. After the transaction of some business of no public interest, the Court adjourned. MR. O'CONNELL.ft—EFFECTB OF THE TRIAL.—The following address (says the Brighton Guardian) has been handed round for signature in Chichester, a cathedral city, be it remembered, in a part of England celebrated for its at tachment to Protestantism. It tends to show how much the prosecution of Mr. O'Connell has exalted him in the estima tion of the people of England :—" To Daniel O'Connell, Esq. Sir—Permit -us, undersigned inhabitants of the city of Chi chester, to express our admiration at the manly way in which you have asserted the rights of your native country, and at the rare union of patriotic zeal and Christian moderation dis played by you in the influence you have exercised over the large masses of your fellow-subjects who have confided their interests to your care. Without intending in the most distant way to hint how far we may wee with or differ from you in your political or religidus opinions, we feel ourselves deeply interested in the verdict just obtained against you, as we can not but think that if the interpretation put by your accusers en what you have justly styled the cabalistic word conspi racy should be confirmed, the liberties of Englishmen will be as much endangered as they would have been had the doc trine of constructive treason, attempted to be established in the year 1794 against Messrs. Hardy, Tooke, and others, by the then Attorney-General, Sir John Scott, not been repu diated by an English jury : and we cannot but regret that an Irish jury, having had such a bright example of real patriotism and exalted philanthropy before them, had not possessed discernment sufficient to follow it. _ Under what ever further difficulties in which your noble conduct may in volve you, you will , have we are fully aware, the best e ; but in addition, support in the testintony consciene we wish to assure you of our cordial sympathy and esteem." Other towns in England will probably imitate this example. The depositions of the witnesses in the case of Mary Hunt having been read, the prisoners were taken back to the Compter in custody of the Foresters. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk to the Lord Mayor) began, as soon as it was intimated to the prisoners that they were to be again brought up, in consequence of the application of the Learned Counsel for Barber, on the 23d instant, to read over the depositions in the several cases. Fletcher paid the most intense attention to the entire of the evidence, but left the whole management of his case to Mr. Humphries, his solicitor. Barber occasionally wrote as Mr. Goodman proceeded, and communicated with Mr. Parry, who was understood to be in attendance as the representative of Mr. Chambers, the barrister employed in the early stages of the proceedings for that prisoner. • The case in which Mary Hunt was alleged to have been personated for the purposes of fraud, was the first upon which the depositions were swam to and signed. . The depositions in the case in which Eliza Burchard was ' alleged to have been personated by Mrs. Dorey, at that time Georgiana Richards, were the next read over, sworn toland signed by the several witnesses, and in neither case was Any comment made by the prisoners or those who attended for them. In the case in which John Stewart was alleged to have been personated, when Mr. Goodman arrived at the evidence of Mr. Pott, of Doctors' Commons, Mr. Pott expressed a wish that the following words should be added to the evidence he had given upon his examination relative to the prisoner Griffin : ' Griffin said, in his state ment, that the affidavit had not been read over to him, pr if it had been read over to him he did not understand) the nature of it. Now I declare that it was read over to him, twice at least, and the draft of the affidavit is now in !the hands of Mr. Freshfield, with the word " approved" upoil it, axidzigned 'T. Griffin.' " The witness stated that the addi tion of these words, would prevent the continuance of a inis larffiebension as to the evidence he had given. He had, in fact; received several communications upon the subject. ' Mr. Humphries—l think it necessary (seeing, as Id, in what character Griffin is to be a party) that the st te ment now made by Mr. Pott should be added to his de osi tion. It refers to a statement made by Griffin to Mr. 1 eir, and deposed to by Mr. Weir on a former day. The Loup MAYO R di r e c t e d th a t th e a dditi on ma d e by, Mr. Pott should be added to the deposition of that gentleman and expressed a hope that publicity should be given to it. Mr. Humphries asked the witness whether the draft o the affidairit had been read over to Griffin? Mr. Pott—l ave I no doubt at all that the draft was read over to him by my clerk ; but I can only swear as to the original haiing been read over to him. . When Mr. Goodman read the deposition in the case in which the property of Anne Slack was alleged to have been drawn out of the hands of the Commissioners for the Rerluc tion of the National Debt, by means of a fabricated will, signed " Emma Slack," f a Mr. Humphries said he observed that the evidence of liss Slack was stated in the depositions to have been tak n in the presence of the prisoners. Now such was not the se. The evidence of Miss Slack was taken when in fact no ody was in custody but Mr. Barber. He noticed the fact, n t to put it forward as an objection, but to show the proprielty of adopting the course recommended by the Judges to have the words taken down at the moment from the mouths of I wit nessess in every case. Mr. Goodman wished that it never became necessary to depart from such a course, but in some cases the system was impracticable. Mr. Humphries—The departure is an evil in the opinikin of the first. authorities. 1 • The depositions of all the witnesses examined, with the exception of Cuckson and his daughter, in the case desig nated the case of John Stewart, having been read, swo to, and signed, Mr. Weir (of Messrs. Freshfield's house) stated that hese two witnesses would, no doubt, reach town in the course of the dal, and would attend upon his Lordship at the moment of their arrival, in order to be formally sworn to their state ments. The LORD MAYOR—I shall most willingly attend at the Giltspur-street Compter. The following is an account of the sums of money stated to have been obtained by means of the wills alleged to have been forged upon the evidence which has already appeared in detail before the public:— IN THE CASE OF ANNE SLACK-3,5001. Consols ; 1,131/. 10d. dividend. IN THE CASE OF ELIZA BuRoHARD-300/. Consols ;162/. dividend-7001. • Three-and-a-Half Reduced ; 4461. ss. dividend. IN THE CASE OF JOHN STEWART-51/. per annum ong Annuities; 7391. 10s. dividend. IN THE CASE OF MARY HUNT-1,210 Consols ; 435/. 12s. dividend. It has been stated in some of the newspapers that a clerk in the Bank of England had been discovered to have been an accomplice in these transactions, and that he had made corn munications which completely involved Barber in the guilt of forging the wills. The report, as far as regards, evidence affecting Barber, is incorrect. There has been no statement made, we are given to understand, by any person in the establishment relative to the participation of Barber beyond that with which the public has been made acquainted through the medium of the press, at the several exammations which have taken place. It is true, however, that a clerk in the Bank has acknowledged that he had supplied the prisoner Fletcher with inforrnation from the Bank books as to the amounts, and other particulars, in every one of the cases on which the prisoners are to be committed. It is understood that the individual we allude to gave the information to Fletcher corruptly, but it is understood that he was not at all cognizant of the object of Fletcher, which was not, as he con jectured, to find out the existing representatives of deceased parties, but to - create representatives by false wills and false personations. Some statements have been also made relative to Mrs. Dorey, which it is necessary to notice. Paragraphs have appeared, representing that she made a confession of all the circumstances in the transactions in which she has been charged with having been concerned, several days ago. She has made a statement, which she declares to be correct, but it certainly was not made until Thursday, the day before the , examination, included in the above account. The particu lars of her statement are kept strictly private. One circum stance, however, we believe, has appeared in the midst of her representations. In the case of Eliza Burchard, whom she represented, when she went to perform her part in that piece, she found upon entering the room that everything had been put in a state of complete preparation by barber and Fletcher. We are not aware what degree of credit is at tached to the communications which shelas made, but it is very currently reported that she had previously expressed great anxiety to make statements, and that they were found to have been concocted in such a manner as showed that her only object was to serve herself It will be remembered that Mr. Freshfield stated on a former occasion, that where a party impugned the transfer by the Commissioner for the Reduction of the National Debt of stock to another party, a duty was imposed by Act of Parliament on the party defrauded to follow the person who wrongfully obtained the money as well as the money itself, and that Mr. Baxter, the solicitor of Miss Slack, was pre parink a bill in Chancery for that purpose. We understand I that a bill was yesterday accordingly filed in the Court of I Chancery by Miss Slack, claiming the twe stuns of 1,000 1 . Quintals. French native coal, 30,033,820 Belgian, . English, We had here an important, and rapidly increasing, export trade with France, in almost the only article left open by her. Tariff; and this has been spoiled by Sir Robert Peel's most injudicious and obnoxious export duty. Since 1842, the decline is stated as having been even more rapid than the previous increase, and Rouen is again being supplied with coal from Bel gium. Many of our readers may not be aware"of the great consumption of coal in France. The native mines began to be worked in 1719 : the quality of the coal obtained from them is inferior both to our own and the Belgian coal. On a rough calculation, the propor tion of coal to wood used in France as fuel is one sixth, or, in calorific power, about one-third. We now come to the threatened new tax on coal in the port of London. Sir R. Peel must surely have mistaken the sturdy (some of them grimy) people in terested in the sea-borne Coal Trade for officers' widows ; or he never would have ventured thus to aim blow after blow at their existence. We tell him very respectfully that they won't stand it. The Thames is not quite the Neva yet, and must be contented, as in the days of the Critic, to flow between its own banks, without expecting stone ones from Imperial tyranny. London will not have an additional coal-taxcoal-tax ; erpetuated upon all its poor, as the Minister thinks to perpetuate his income-tax on all who are just above the poor. Two such presents are quite too much of a good thing from one minister. We are content with the one ; we do not mean to submit to the other. STANDARD.—The subject of harbours of refuge, and let us add of rendezvous, for armed vessels, which carve under the consideration of the House of Cominons last night, is one of the most important that can occupy public attention. This is not the first time that we have said so, as will be seen by the following extract from a number of this journal published some years ago. which we find in Mr. Stewart's report addressed to Captain Brandreth, of the Admiralty:— " CHANNEL HARBOUR OF REFUGE.—We rejoice to see that the subject of a refuge harbour in the Channel has been again revived. This is a project of Mr. Pitt, which, but for the demands of the war of 1793, would have been realised almost half a century ago ; and it is a project, the importance of which it is impossible to over-rate. A refuge harbour in a prominent position in a frequented part of the Channel, and in deep water, would obviate nine-tenths of the wrecks that annually occasion so much sorrow and such great losses. To such a harbour all vessels would in threat ening weather boldly direct their course, without looking to the doubtful security of bad ports, that prove so often treacherous and fatal. The value of such a harbour is, therefore, not to be measured by the losses that have oc curred in its immediate neighbourhood ; it will be the means of safety to the whole Channel navigation. Dover is the site which we have heard preferred by most naval * men, and a refuge harbour at Dover would at once render harmless the Goodwin Sands, except in cases of gross mismanage ment or indiscretion. We prefer to dwell upon the pacific advantages of such a harbour, but its uses in time of war would be so great' that it were injustice to the subject to omit them. A dozen line-of-battle ships, and a dozen first 4tAss war steamers, with transports, &c., riding deep NM,* at - Dover, with the facilities of rapid approach, now about 'tot - be secured by railroads, would leave the whole west coast of Europe, from the Baltic to the Tagus, abso lutely at the mercy 6f Great Britain. Had we possessed these advantages at an3r time in the twenty years from 1793 to 1813, how promptly could we have terminated the war that so long tormented Europe, and cost this country 2,000,000,0001. Such an easy outlet to the incalculable power of England presents a prospect which it would be the extreme of rashness even to sketch in outline," _ This passage expresses what is still our opinion, with regard to a Channel harbour, but we confess that what Sir Robert Peel said last night considerably extends our views. It is not the English Channel alone which calls for such a means of safety for commerce and of defence for the country. Every side of England ought to have the advantage of a capa cious deep-water harbour in a salient position, not only for the • security of our commercial marine, but for the purpose of national defence in the time of war. The expense ought to be no consideration, for the difference of costs between the wear and tear of fleets riding at anchor in smooth water, and cruising in all seasons and all weathers, would cover the expense in two or three years of war, and this without taking into account the security against such fright ful casualties as the loss of Admiral Christian's . fleet. The misfortune is, however, that in this country, as •in every other free country, great efforts will rarely be made, even for the most useful objects, except under some feeling of high excitement, or in cases of imminent necessity.- Hence our wars are more frequent than they would be if we were better prepared ; they last longer, and are immeasurably more expensive. As we have lately had occasion to remark, wars among civilised countries are now scarcely ever undertaken with a view to con quest— they are generally resorted to as a means of extorting some advantage by a process of . com paratively small injury and temporary annoy ance ; but the' nation which is best secured from this vexatious molestation must plainly be the nation least subject to attack,,, especially when her ultimate power is known to be invincible. Napoleon, in the plenitude of his power, and in the most frenzied stage of his ambition, never fancied more from his projected invasion of England than a run to London, the utmost effect of which would be to detach England from her allies, and thus leave the Continent at his mercy, We need scarcely say, however, that a stout fleet riding at anchor 'at Dover would have expelled even this dream. How much in pounds, shillings, and pence would the country have thus saved by the possession of a capacious deep water harbour at Dover, another at some salient point in the North Sea, and another in St. George's Channel ? The possession of three such harbours must,- while England shall maintain her maritime superiority, ren der -for ever ridiculous any attempt to molest her, even in a slight degree; and then, what could lead any, nation to the folly of engaging in a quarrel, when all the injury must fall to its own share? Steam, it is true has greatly modified war, and given to this country immense advantages ; but still sailing vessels of large size must he empoyed, and in a military view such harbours as we speak of are necessary to give full scope to their efficacy. The reasons for establishing harbours of refuge for the commercial marine are soon told-700 or 800 annual shipwrecks, with a miserable waste of human life.
