This, like all other Am er i can versions o n ly ititilifirent actions in which their vessels were engagettniftirthose of Great Britain, is in every particular incorrect, and, I I em sure that, in justice to the memory of Captain Whin . ya.e and the officers and crew of the Frolic, you will agree with me thet the true account should be given. The particulars'extracted from James's •• Naval .Urear renci,s" er a as f o ll ows: —lt must first be mentiontni that the Frolic had been absent from home fOr nearly five years on the West India station, and with a crew short to complement, and debilitated from the effects of so long continuance in a hot ctinsatc, was on her voyage to England in charge ( f a small convoy. During the paar.age the Frolic and her convoy en countered a violent gale of wind, in which they sepa rated, and she hadLer mainyard broken in two places, and her maintoptnast badly sprung, beeidss other serious damages. The morning following the gale, whilst the Frolic's men were busy at work rrpuiriug the mainyard, the Wasp hove in bight, and soon afterwards the action commenced. . .. . ~ , ~• E N° 18,07.1.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY 7 " i 't - ,• , ~ ••r . , 5 ' - '' : ' ' \k . ..

AsTo's thought it hard upon the, Stour Vallry proprietors.. ' and justice supported, he should de his duty as well as he could. As to the show of the office, be put that on one Aide, and was only anxious to do his, duty to his fel low-citiz.nii.—(Cheers.)

At all events he should return to London a gr( Ater man' in ' his own consideration,. for to receive the applause of his fellow-countrymen in the handsome manner in which the people of Southampton had ren dered it, that day, was indeed a gratity ing thing. lie again expressed the pleasure and gratification ho &it, and thanked them all most heartily for the honour they had done him. The Masai next proposed " The health of the Mem bers for the borough of Southampton," which was bri,fly responed to by B. M. WlLLcojc,.Esq. The LORD MAYOR again rose, and said he was about to propose the health of. a gentleman to whom the pe( ple of Southampton looked up with pleasure, to whom they all owed suit and service—" Thc health of their worthy Chairmitn."—(Grr at applause.) He was sure that it was only necessary to mention his name, acd they would ex press more in their approbation than be could do were he able to address thenf fora fortnight. They bad done so, and be would therefore only say how thankful they ought ,to be for the happiness they had all enjoyed under his auspices that afternoon.—(Great cheering.) The MAYOR. in a few remarks, acknowledged the compliment, and thanked the - Lord Mayor and his other distinguished gUeSts for . the honour they bad 'conferred' upon him by their attendance at the proceedings of that day.. He hoped the,Lord Mayor was pleased with the picturesque scenery in the neighbourhood of Southamp ton which be had that day seen, and with the whole proceedings. He hoped he should see many more such assemblies before the great exhibition of 1 . 851, and for many years afterwards.—(Applause.) G. LAISHLEY, Eaq , in a neat speech, proposed " The Worshiptul the Mayors who have honoured the , banquet with their presence, and the municipal institutions of the kingdom." The Mayor of Wriecnesrea responded to the toast, which was warmly received. Mr. Sheriff TUCKER, in a few complimentary remarks, proposed " The healths of the Sheriffs for London and Middlesex," which met with a most hearty reception. Mr. Sheriff LAWRENCE returned thanks on behalf of himself and his colleague, Mr. Nicoll. They felt highly honoured and pleased by being permitted to be present at that festive board; . and, if any one thing,gave him more 'pleasure than another, it was the hope that this first assembly in the provinces of the Lord Mayot tied Sheriffs of London with the mayors and municipal au thorities in :he provincial towns would hereafter go on from year to year.—(Cheers.) By this interchange of compliments, and these fraternal assemblies, they were doing great good, and whenever this example should be followed by the worthy gentlemen whom he saw around him, be hoped that the sheriffs might be allowed to put in their claim.—(Laughter and cheers) With refe- rence to the exhibition of MI, be augured much good from the noble undertaking. People in a small locality were too apt , to faney that they were at the top of the tree; and it was only when they put foot to foot and measured their lengths together that they found - how de ficient they - were.—(Applause.) The Mayor had al luded to the festive hospitality of the Lord Mayor. He was sure they could all, in return, coMpliment him on the generous hospitality of which they had that even ing been the partakers. He had never-spent a pleasanter evening; and, in return for the honour they had done the sheriffs, he begged to tender them their warmest ac knowledgments. _ Mr. P. WILLIAMS contended (bet it was theinterast of all . parties under present circumstances to content them seltei with l- - )w dtvictends, with the view to .reduce the amount of money borrowed at high. rates of interest.' Ultimately, the shareholders in .the Stour Valley brie would be gainers by this • mode of proceeding.

Mr. WooLMETt said, that although there were not a sufficient number of shareholders present to constitute a meeting, still he should be very happy to give any pro prietors any information they might require, and he had no doubt that Mr. Chaplin, the Chairman of the London and South-Western Railway Company, would also state the views of that company with respect to their present position. They require d some money from th e South • Western Railway Company to enable them to pay the five per cent. which it was understood had been guaran teed to them during the construction, of their line. Mr. 'CHAPLIN said he ciid i not feel himself justiked in promising any funds under present circumstances. They had taken counsel's opinion on the matter, and it had been bron k he ftirwird at their l a st general meeting on the 9;h c.f August. Be thought•the best plan they could adopt would be, to appoint a committee on their part to look into the . opinions of the counsel, and see what was most expedient to be done. They could do nothing until they had called a special meeting of their proprie tors (which they intended to do this autumn), for the directors had plf.dged themselves not to take any steps without the sanction of the proprietors at a special meeting to be called fur that purpose. The point would then be set at rest. o 274 268 Complement ... 92 137 oy n s 18 1 The Fiolic's crew on go i ng into actionllo consistedl3B ot 91 men and 18 boys, the men chiefly debilitated by sickness, and of whom 40 would have discharged on that account on their arrival at home —the boys were most of them very young. The Wasp's crew consisted of 137 men, and never was a finer crew seen, and one boy who was 18 years of age. A great . number of Irishmen were on board, and several deserters from British vessels. 'The Wasp 'had also four lieutenants and twelve or tbirteen_midebipmen, rated as such, but most of whom had been masters and mates of merchantmen, stout able men, and ell able to take charge of a ship. The Frolic had' only one midshipman, and he a mere boy; abe bad also in addi. tion to her crew one passenger, an invalid soldier. With one exception, which in tact is nothing at all; viz. the Frolic's ha v i ng 6 1b . extra in broadside weight of metal, the American had a very great superiority. " Fair play is a jewel," of which the Americans know very little about, or e!se they would not parade this action as a proof of their superiority over English men.—l am, Sir, yours most obediebtly, Halifax, Aug. 26.

The shareholders have already become acqouinted with this fact from the cir cular which has been sent with the accounts; and what e►er degree of disappointment may bo felt, that in that respect the directors have not been able to redeem their promises, they can assure the sharehobters that the pre sent delay has been tinything but prejudicial to their in terests. The directors are still endeavouring to bring about a satisfictory settlement with the contractor, and they feel so strong a belief that that will soon be eff , cted, that they intend to propose the adjournment of this meeting until Thursday, October 3, pledging themsel►es that in the meanwhile they will use their beat efforts to present to the shareholders, seven duys before that date, such an account of the entire expenditure of, and claims upon the railway company as was promised in February last. The Eastern Uttion Railway Company at once met the recitt.st of the directors for the pa) went of the sum on account of rent due to this company; and you will see by the published statement of accounts that the sum f 2,000 i. »as paid by them, »hich your directors lost no time in appropriating to those shareholders who have paid up their calls to June 23. 1849. The directors hope soon to receive a further sum on account of rent due. In the prospect of soon meeting you again, your directors haie only to repeat the expreision of their anxiety to close the capital account of the company with as little delay as is consistent with a due regard to the interests of the subscribers." Appeudei to the report was a statement of the receipt and disbursements, from DI-ember 31, 1849, to June 30, 1850. The total amount received during the half-year -bud been 6,988/. 6s. 9d., while the expenditure during the same period had bc en 6 918/. 7s. 6d. The revenue account stood so fdlows:—Dr. To interest to warrants paid, 757/. 1 Is. 10d.; balance, 1,242/. 84. 2d.; total, 2 0001. Or. By cash, of Eastern Union Company, on account of rent, 2,000/.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said, that many shareholders who were at present absent would have attended the meeting to-day bad it not been for a circular which Mr. Bewtree st the re quest of the directors had sent to the shareholders, ex presAng itheir .regret that they were not able to for ward that statement of the entire liabilities of the com pany which tavy promised in February last, owing mainly to the tact that the nego;lations with the con tractor had not yet been brought to a close, and infor ming them also of the directors' intention to propose the adjournment of the meeting. Personally be (the Chairman) felt meat deeply the. cireunostake of not being able. to present the accounts to the present meet. ing. The directors hoped, however, to meet their constitu.nts in October,,when,everything regarding the state of the company should be laid before them. — (Cheers.) All that wet necessary for him to do now was, to call upon the shareholders to adopt the report which had been read. Mr. C. HAwittith seconded the motion. and the report was accordingly agreed to. A motion for the adjournment of the meeting to the day recommended by the directors was carried, and the meet ing separated after awarding a vote of thanks to the chairman of the board. BIRMINGHAM. WOLVERHAMPTON, AND • SiMIR VALLEY. The half-yearly mceting.of the shareholders of this company was hrld in Birmingham.yesterday. Mr. J.F. Ladsam presided; and the following report of the board of directors was read by. Mr. Morgan, the secretary " The first payment of rent from the London and North-Western Railway Company for the half-year end ing the 30th of June last, is at, the rate of 31. 6s. Bd. per cent. per annum, being two-thirds the dividend of 5 per cent., which Wad declared by the lessees (the North- Western .. Company) at their last half yearly meeting, held on the 16th inst. The directors expect to have the amount this week (although it is not due until the 15th of .next .month), and .the divide . d warrants will therefore.be issued forthwith. With the view of en abling the shareholders to know the exact amount of liability in respect of the expenses which will be in curred in' carrying on the business of the company now that the line is in• the possession of the London and North-Western Company, the directors have made an arrangement by' which the half-yearly expenses will be limited to a sum not eXeeeding one halfpenny per share, which will be deducted from the dividend warrants accordingly. The directors have experi enced great difficulty. in getting possession of some plots of- land, which has cousiderebiy delayed the com pletion of the railway. They have expended, however, during the half-year the sum of 25.4121. las. 3J. on the works, - and . there now only rethain between two and three miles of permanent way to be laid. The road sta tions have been let, and ere now in course of erection, and the directors hope that no impediment will be met with to prevent the opening of the line in a few months." From the statement or accounts it appeared that a ba lance of 9,1501. 9s. remains in the banker's hands. The CHAIRMAN moved, and Mr. SPARROW seconded, the reception and adoption of the report. Mr. ASTON wished to ark whether the London and North- We.tern Company did not possess a very large surplus, -- from which they could have declared a much higher dividend? • ' •_ The Cit'sramAN replied that there was a larger sur plus than that which covered the dividend announced by the Lund. :n and North-Western Company, but it was with the proprietors themselves to declare what amount of au, plus they would Mr. ASTON said it was or great importance that the shareholders in the Stour Valley line should have, ac cording to their agreement, a fair proportion of the London and North-Western profits. It appeared that company-could-have declared a dividend of bix per cent., and had they done so, it would have made a difference of l3s. 4d: per share to the Stour Valley proprietors. The surplus declared by the London and North-Western Company, after paying the five per ce nt. di v id en d an nounced, was 'five times as large as the average surplus of former years. The CHAIRMAN remarked that the shareholder. of the Stour Valley Hue were entltled to two-thirds of the divi dend declared by the Noah-Western, not to two-thirds of the surplus in hand.

At the lower end of the room, over the entrance, a spacious gallery was erected, which was filled with ladies, who evidently wereanuch pleased with the scene. The MAYOR, in giving the first toast, said that he did SO with extreme pleasure and satisfaction, knowing that around him was gathered so large a number of the prin. cipal authorities of the kingdom, inclusive of the Lord Mayor of the chief city of the world.=--(Applause.) They were at present privileged by living under a Monarch whom all alike respected and adored, and who truly lived in the hearts of her people. The time was gone by when the Sovereign could not visit the Lord Mayor of London without an esoort for his protection from personal danger. Our present beloved Queen could now visit the most distant pot of the kingdom, free from difficulty or apprehension of danger. He called on theta to drink " The health of the Queen," which was drunk with enthusiastic rounds of cheering, the bind playing the National Anthem, And the whole company joining in the chorus. The MAYOR said the next toast was one to which he felt confident they would do equal jastfce. Heaves proud to have the opportunity of proposing the health of tier Majesty's Consort," who had, by his various acts done so much to promote and encourage the arts and manu factures, the Commerce and agriculture of this country. —(Applause.) They owed him a lasting debt of grati tude. lie had won for laineself the est , : , era and good wishes of the whole/Offish people; he bad kept aloof from the hotbed of poliet:s; he had set them all an ex ample, as a husband, a tether, and an employer, which they would do welt to fellow: It was gratifying to him (the Mayor) to vitae* etre'h *gathering round his festive board as wasthewsersollbted in that hall—that being the birthday of hisitoyeiiiigtiness Prince Albert.—(C ha era.) It was also pleasing tO know that the great industrial exhibition of 1854 which was conceived in the mind of Prince Albert, andeommunicated to the Lord Mayor of London, way die *wane of bringing them together that evening, itudif nothing more resulted from the project than the opportunities which bad been given to the dif ferent utunielpal authorities to meet in fraternal inter ceurse, IS they had had the pleasure to do that day, much goad Would attend it.

He gave them the toast of "Sir Alexander Cockburn and n u it t s r e, her the her Majesty's Ministe rs." — (ltnmense,eheering.) . Majesty' s Solicieor-General, toast.

In the name of her Majesty's Ministers he thanked them for the compliment which had been paid them.—(Cheers.) The MAYOR next gave the toast of "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese end other Ministers of the G..pelt" which was responded to by the Rev, the Dean of WIN CHESTER. The MAYOR proposed " The Army and Navy," two services to which the notion Was greatly indebted. No one was more grateful than be was to those to whom honour was due; and no doubt many would remember the unkind expressions that had been uttered towards him for the course he had taken when Lord. Gough arrived here from India. lie , was sorry that the Noble Lord was not with them that day.—(Hear, laser.) A communication had been held between him and Lord Gough, and, had he beep able, the Noble Lord would have been present to confute the charges which had been made against him (the Mayor). The army and navy bad done,much good; but when members of those services endeavoured to supersede the civil authorities, the latter ought to be careful to preserve their rights.—(Hear, bear.) In the case in question, certain members of the army and navy endeavoured to supersede the civil authorities of the town, and to cast a slur on him as chief magistrate. He hoped the services of the army and navy would never egain be requirr d; but for what they had done they were deserving of gra titude, and he hoped they would cordially drink the heaths of the two services. . The toast having been enthusiastically received, Lord GEORGE LENNOX responded on behalf of the army, and Captain YELVERTON, R.N., on the part of the navy. The MAYOR called for a bumper for the next toast, which be might call the toast of the .toning. They bad been • honoured that day by the presence of the Lord Mayor of Loudon, and ho should be wanting in grati tude if he failed to express his sense of the kindness and honour which liii Lordship had . thereby conferred upon him and the town, lie gave them, therefore. the health of the Lord M ,yor of the city of London.—(Tre mendous cheering, renewed again and again, the whole company rising.)

Th e ') Lord Mayor had cheerfully responded to his invitation, • of Southampton had g i ven Lordship and the people - his such a reception, that he truste d that the Lord Mayor's visit would become an annual cue ( Applause.) The toast was received with tremendous applause, which continued for several minutes. The LORD MAYOR, on rising to return thanks, was again warmly c h eere d. He said that if any thing would tend to make a man dumb, or to prevent him from giving expression to his feelings, it was the manner in which he had been received thet dsy by the people of , South ampton. • He really could pot express in words his feel ings on that occasion. n e had been elected Lord Mayor of the chief city of the world — (Applause) —and, if he did but do his best, and work in a way by whi c h t b e 'lncur of the city and the office would bo maintained Lord D. STUART next gave the toast of " The People," which was drunk with much enthusiasm. W. M. TRACRERAY, En, proposed "England and America, may Peace and Commerce long unite them," which was drunk with much fraternal feeling, and ac knowledged by J. R. CRUMMY, Esq. " The Exhibition of 1851, may success attend it ; " " The Commerce of London, the chief city of the world ; " " The Press," and several other toasts fol- lowed, and the festivities were protracted till long after midnight. _ _ _ Th;Lord Mayor and th• Sheriffs were loudly cheered on their departure. The illuminations of the Bar-gate were ♦ery pic turesque. Jets of gas surrounded the singular battle ments, arches, and windows, so that the shape of them was seen. A dense crowd lined the High-street during the whole of the evening on Monday, watching the Bar gate, the Banqueting-ball, and the carriages as they set down the distinguished company. The state carriages of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, and the state liveries of the servants, excited the greatest curiosity amongst the poorer classes and the country people, who had evidently never seen such magnificence heft)! e. In several in- stances the ierrants wore literally obliged to open the carriage!, and let the crowd peep in and feel the cushions and croaments inside. The floral decorations of the Bar quating•hall were most superb, and all present declared they bad never seen anything resembling it. A great portion of the exotics and the most rare and beautiful plants from Page's nursery —one of the finest in the south of Ens land—were made to contribute to the decor a ti o n s o f the bail. The whole of the decorations were kindly super intended by Mr. Page himself, who is renowned as an artist in these matters. THE PEACE CONGRESS. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, Aua. 24. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather—and it has been an autumnal pour from an early hour—the meeting was well attended to-day, and the proceedings closed with considerable Eclat. I will not say that the impression was quite so favourable as that of yesterday; though the speakers are many, the topics are comparatively.few, and somewhat of tedium is the natural result. I The resolutions remaining on the list are the follow ing, viz., the fifth and the sixth:— 5. 'This Congress, acknowledging the principle of nonintervention, recognizes it to be the sole right of every state to regulate its own affairs. — "6. This Congress recommends all the friends of peace to prepare public opinion in their respective countries f;ir the convocation of a congress of the repre sentatives of the various states, with the view to the formation of• a code of international law." A great sensation was created by the appearance in the tribune of .the Ojibbeway Chief, whose, oration hap, from the first opening of the C-ngress, been anticipated as an extraordinary morceau. He was dressed in a dark blue frock, with a scarf acro ss hi s s h oulder, after the old French Republican laahion, and the metallic plates round his arm gavo a peculiar character to his costume. He began to talk something after a style which may be called " Cooper-ish," and was abundant in his allusions to the "Great Spirit"—his " pale-faced brethren," and so forth. Soon, however, he dropped the purely national style, and launched out into general marsh and literature, stating how, while walking round Frankfort, he had reflected on the miseries of war, and linking together as eminent men of mind the German poet Schiller and the American poet Longfellow. His oration was deliver. d in a grandiloquent style, but its affect was rather upon the eye than the ear, the great point being the unwrapping of a mysterious implement' which be had carried about him, and which, in the eyes of the peacemakers, looked marvellously like a sword. When he deliberately took off the linen wrapper, and discovered something which looked rather like a cat-o'• nine -tails, and which he declared to be an Indian banner of peace, the acclamations were tremendous. This was his grand rcenic effort. He should have stopped here, but he did nut, 'and produced an anti-climax. A very wholesome regulation, published by the Congress, limits the time during which a speaker is allowed to "keep the floor" to twenty minutes, but the " stoic of the woods," , react i on. doub led and time. profusiont h e sound o of h f wordsthe venerable Dr. Jaup, the most urbane President in the is own caused us v e o d i c a e world; mildly limited every future speech to a quarter of an hour. Two Germans, Dr. Bodensee and Dr. Weil, gave in their speeches an official confirmation of the opinion I formed from the previous aspect of the assemblies. .1 said in my last, that the meeting was not really held in tho face of Germany. ,but that a body of English men, Americans, and Frenchmen were talking among each other with comparatively little action on the Germans. The two German gentlemen to whom I have alluded spoke, one in French, the other in English, in order to be intelligible in the midst of Frankfort. This is a striking fact which needs no comment. - The President, Dr. Jsup, is universally respected as a man of learning and inte4rity ; and Ger mans keep dropping in from hour to hour ; but any one who watches their faces can ace plainly enough that they are merely idle genre, with little practical in terest in the affair, zeal being most conspicuous in the portly English Quakers, the sharp-visaged Americans, and the amnrtly dressed Frenchmen. Dr. Bodeesee held in his hand a commission signed by several perilous, including Dr. Grimm and the Ministers of Schleswig-Holstein, whack threatened to'hurry the Convention into an inconveniently rapid application of its principles. The doctor confessed he was not an ambassador, but still he seemed to hold some diplomatic office, which qualified him to refer to the Congress the whole settlement o' the Schleswig-Holstein question. The Congress shrank from the practical display of its powers. of arnlcable arrangement. Dr. Jaup blandly pointed to a gelation which prohibited political alla• don; and Mr. Cobden, though he had no doubt what• ever that the question at issue betwrea Denmark and the Duehiee might be very cleverly settled by those pre sent, suggested that action would be premature unless both parties were adequately r e p resente d. Th e " Com mission" which would at once have made the Congress t quel to a great destiny was therefore "burked," the evident disappointment of the gentleman who brought it. Mr. Edward 14311, well-known as the opponent of Sir William Molesworth at Southwark, distinguished him self by taking a new tack. From the first the orators have been uneasy at the appellation of "Utopians," " Enthusiasts," and the like, and various attempts have hewn made to show the inappropriate nature of such names. Mr. Mimi), instead of adopting the defensive in this respect, boldly. declared war against- "practical men," who be said ought to be reduced to, their proper level. Practical men, so called, mistook difficulties for impossibilities. Those he loved not, but he liked real practical men, such as him who said, that if he had the writing of the national lone he Would not care about the Peers. The practical working of the peace princio'e should bs the diffthing of congenial sentiments. This distinction between the true practical man and the sham practical men- was .cleverly laid down in es hard dry man gier, and the military condition of Frankfurt wasdesig nated the dart; background to which the group in the PauNkirehe was the bright picture. But whatever the other 'orators may do, or however clever they maybe, Mr. Cobden is the favourite. Peo ple ask which is Mr. Cobden, make up their faces for ti;s jokes, and are anxious to get out of the church when his discourse is offer. He evidently sees his hold on his hearers and is not a little gratified, but wields the power with infinite good humour. To-day, when the all-im portant hour of one o'clock drew near, Dr. Jaup foresaw that a re treat was et band, and stopped the movement by declaring that Mr. Cobden would speak after the gentleman who was then occupying the tribune, and who was thus admonished of his own lesser power of attrac tion. Mr. Cobden felt that honour was thrust some what violently upon him, and raised a roar by declaring that he intended to disappoint his hearers by making a very indifferent speech. The principle of non-interven tion, laid down in the filth resolution, had been previ ously treated by M. Girardin in his favourite fashion of seizing on one idea, and working it in all its bearings. This he had said was the great principle on which the chief edifice of peace was , to be - built. Mr. Cobden ad mitted ado position, but hinted that the doctrine had created a little difficulty even in the minds of the Peace Ccimmittee. Some of 'his French colleagues had sug gested that this point of "non-intervention" should not be urged too much, and he therefore detected something like the old system still lurking in the hearts of the chosen. Elihn Burritt came out for the first time, in this dis cussion. His speech, a history of the progress of the peaca theory, in which 'he was particularly anxious' to show that tbeidet did not originate with America, but was borrowed from France and Germany, was delivered with gravity, and eloquence, but. without that flashy quality which his such an effect on audiences like that in the Paulskirehe. The 'project for a perpetual peace, which is one of the smaller works of the great Imma nuel Kant, and which proposes a sort of arbitrating Congress, had previously been referred to by Dr. Kreuts ner, a Hebrew gentleman who acts as a German inter preter to the meeting, and this gave 'Mr. Burritt an op portunity fora German allusion. Some of the orators•went off dully enough, but the audience was actually astonished into applause by the speech of Mr. Chipple, of New York, who' with his strong American ' twang began in a most unpromising manner, but made one of the smartest displays yet heard. He took the ordinary common-pito s of the Peace doc trine, but he worked them in a new way, with a moat effective mixture of Yankee humour and fervid elo quence. The steam-engine be called the great shuttle, which was to unite nations together. Then he quoted the words of a Transatlantic statesman, whose motto was, " Be - sure you are right, then go a-head." Then came the exposition of works of industry in 1851, and - , Government are challenged to exhibit the horrors of war as their works of industry. The , style and the metaphors were novel and striking, and so admirable was Mr. Chipple's management of his sonorous voice in a place where loudness is almost synonymous with indistinctness, that an old German, in my vicinity, said with delight, that though he did not uuderstand a word the gaitleman had said he felt he was a good orator. Mr. Chipple had moreover the disad vantage of coming in late, and had been preceded by M. Coquerel, a good speaker, who by an effective anec dote had illustrated the horrors of war. When the resolutions on the list had been carried, an additional one against duelling was passed, on which M. Cormenin and M. Girardin both spoke, the latter being received on this occasion with marked applause.. Then came• a vote of thanks to the municipal authorities of Frankfort for their kind reception of the peace-makers, and. Mr. Cobden caused infinite delight and astonishment by act ing as fuglemen to an English " Hip, hip, hurrah !" demonstration of gratitude. Most of the Germans stared with great eyes to see the portly pietists of Great Britain wave their hats and handkerchiefs and utter such strange shouts, while Cobden beat time a la Jullien. One youth, who anticipated every word of Cobden's as something eminently droll, said, enraptured by this exhibition, " He is always full of humour." A resolution to publish the proceedings at three kreutzers (say twopence) a copy, and a vote of thanks to Dr. Jaup, 'accompanied by new Cobdenish fun and additional English " honours," terminated the third and last session of the Congress; which, as a good humoured meeting, where a number of worthy life-en joying persons say civil things to each other, is a decided success, but which the uninitiated, including some grave disbelieving soldiers, who stalk in and stare, evi• dently regard with silent wonder. The me( ting next year is to be held in London, tied the peace-makers hope that the Germans will attend numerously. May they not be dies p poi n ted ! Tim-s Correspondent. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

TO THE EDITOR Or TUE MORNING HERALD. sjr,-,..yalc luipttesi9ll c Timidoy, Auglut 22 ; 0911- E LECTRO -11 1AGNETISIII AS - A MOTIVE POWER. Professor Page, in the lectures which he is now de livering before the Smithsonian Institution, states that there is ne longwr any doubt of the application of this power as a substitute for steam. He exhibited•the most imposing experiments ever witnessed in this branch of science. An immense bar of iron, weighing 1601b..-Tfas made to spring up by magnetic action, and to move rapidly up and down, dancing like a feather in the air, without any visible support. The force operating upon the bar he stated to average 3001 b. through ten inches of its motion. Ho said he could raise this bar 100 feet as readily as ten inches, and he expected no difficulty in doing the same with a bar weighing one ton, or a hun dred tons. He could make a pile•driver or a forge ► ham. mar, with great simplicity, and could make an engine with a stroke of 6, 12, 20, or any number of feet. The moat beautiful experiment we ever witnessed was the loud sound and brilliant flash from the galvanic spark, when produced near a certain point in his great magnet. Each snap was as loud as a pistol, and when he produced the same spark at a little distance from this point it made no noise at all. This recent discovery is said to have a practical bearing upon the construction of an electro-magnetic engine. Truly a great power is here; and where is the limit to it? He then exhibited his en gine of beta een four and five horse-power, operated by a battery contained within a apace of three cubic feet. It looked very unlike a maenad° machine. It was a re eiprocating engine of two feet stroke, and the whole en. gine and battery weighed about one ton. When the tower was thrown on by the motion of a lam, the en. gine started off magnificently, making 114 strokes per minute; though, when it drove a circular saw, ten inches in diameter, sawing up boards an inch and a quarter thick into laths, the engine made but about 80 strokes per minute. There was great anxiety on the part of the spectators to obtain specimens of these laths, to preserve as trophies of this great me chanical triumph. The force operating upon this great cyli n d er t h roughout the whole minion of. two feet was stated to be 6001 b. when the engine was moving very slowly, but he had not been able to as certain what the force was when the engine was running at a working spied, though it was considerably less. The most important nod interesting pint, however, is the ex pense of the power. Professor Page stated that he had reduced the cost so far that'it was less than steam under many and must cond.t:one, though not so low.as the cheapest steam-engines. With all the imperfections of the engine, the consumption of 3.b. tf zinc per day would produce one•hor,e power. The larger his en gines, contrary to what has been known be fore, the greater the economy. Professor Page was himself sur prised at the resul!. There were yet practical difficul iies to be overcome, the battery has yet to be improved, and it remains yet to try the experiment on a grander scale—to make a power c f 100-horse, or more. Truly the age is fraught with wonders, and we can now look forward with certainty to the time when coal will be put to better uses than to burn, scald, and destroy.—National Intelligencer (American paper). THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BEIV,EEN DOVER AND CALAIS. DOVER, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—The iong promised experimental operations tor establishing a continuous i.sl.,grephic communication between Great Britain and the continent, by means of wires sunk between Dover and Calais, were commenced this day at Dover. M one o'clock the General Shipowners' Steamer Goliah was in readiness, and steam up, in Dover Harbour, to start across the channel, with all the necessary apparatus on board, and a crew of about thirty men, consisting of pilots and sailors, superintended by Dr. Reid, of the House of Commons, Mr. C. J. Wollaston, C.E., Mr. T. Crampton, C.E., Mr. F. Edward?, and others. Between the paddle-wheels, in the centre of the vessel. was a gigantic drum or wheel, nearly fifteen feet long and seven tees diameter, weighing seven ton s , and fixed on a strong frame-work. Upon it was coiled up in careful close con volutions about thirty miles of telegraphic wire, encased in a covering of gotta percha. The point proposed to be reached, Cape Grinez, the nearest landmark to the English coast, and between Calais and Boulogne, is a distance of t wenty-one miles, so that a surplus supply of nine miles cf wire was held in reserve Lr the purpose of slackening. The intention was to steam oat at five miles an hour, to pay out progressively the whole extent of telegraphic tackle, and to imbed the wire by means of leaden clamps, of which there were aim: , hundreds on board, or weights of 20 and 25 lbs. weight in the bottom of the sea. The vessel was provisioned for the day, and Captain Bullock, of her Majesty's steam-ship Widgeon, caused the ttack of the navigation to be marked in as direct a route as possible by placing a se ries of pilot-buoys with flogs on the route, besides being prepared to accompany the experimental cruise with his own vessel as a tender. The connecting wires were placed in readiness at the Government Pier in the har bour, and likewise at the Cape. where they run up the face of the acclivity, which is 194 feet abore sea mark. The necessary batteries and manipulators were all on board, but as the gale and rolling sea unexpectedly sprung up over a previously comparatively calm sea, it was deemed unadvisable by the experimenter to venture out, and the operation was adjourned until font A.M., to morrow (Wednesday) morning, when it is expected that wind and weather will favour the expedition. Some interesting experiments, however, were made upon a small scale, to show the practicability of the plan. • A mile of wire was paid out off the deck from the pier to Shakspere's cliff, and the sinking process was proved to be a practicable performance. A communication to the following effect was also sent through twenty-four miles of wire:—" Printed by electric telegraph, on board the Goliah steam-boat." NARROW ESCAPE.--On Friday night last an acci dent, very nearly attended with fatal consequences, occurred in the harbour. Three young men, who had been a short distance ( - own the river in a two-oared , boat, were returning through the basin about ten o'clock en the evening in ques tion, when they ran their frail barque against a - hawser that stretched from one of the buoys to a vessel lying at the south quay, near Springfield. From the peculiar manner in which the boat struck the hawser, the foimer was lifted partly out of the water, and turned over keel upwards, jerking the crew unexpectedly out of their seats, and leaving them to struggle for their lives.
