There are no orders down at Portsmouth, respect ing the Hogue, 60, screw-ship, Captain Macdougall, she still remains in harbour with her sails bent. The Hercules store-ship, Master-Commander Ful ton, was towed outside the Nab Light vessel by the Bloodhound, and proceeded under sail for Greenhithe with condemned and unserviceable stores. The Monkey and the Jasper steam-tug left Woolwich for the Downs, to tow the Hercules up the river. The Advice steamer left Woolwich yesterday morning for Cork, a n d the M anceuvrer for Po rtsmouth and Plymouth. Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliot, has bent sails ; she is to go to Spitbead to-day. She will probably sail for Lisbon, to rejoin Commodore Martin's squadron, on Saturday next. Sprightly steam-tender, Master-Commander Allen, left Portsmouth on Tuesday afternoon for Plymouth, with supernumeraries for the Albion. The Danish man-of-war steamer, in the River, has dropped down from Blackwall to the Arsenal, to take on board her gunnery stores. Mr. Lang, master shipwright of Woolwich dock yard, has Leen granted fourteen days' further leave of absence. A party of engine fitters has been sent to Sheerness for the factory at Woolwich, to complete the works in the engineer department in that yard by the 21st of March next. PLYMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.— Her Majesty's ship Albion, 90, Captain W. H. J. John3tone, now in the Sound, is ordered to be got ready for sea with all pos sible dispatch. The Officers and crew of her Majesty's brig Harle quin, 12, Commander A. P. E. Wilmot, were paid advance of wages yesterday, and she will sail to-day with the mails for the Coast of Africa, touching at Madeira. Her Majesty's brig Waterwieb, 8, Commander B. R. Quin, from the Coast of Africa, was off this port on Saturday, and obtained a supply of fish from a trawling sloop. Having signalised with the Albion she proceeded up Channel for her destination, Ports mouth. Five shipwrights with the leading man and eight caulkers will sail in one of the lighters to-day for Falmouth, to caulk and temporarily repair the Astra& receiving depot for the packets, which is to be brought here and laid up in ordinary. The Penguin packet was commissioned yesterday by Commander Thomas Etheridge. The Express packet, Lieutenant W. Lory, will be paid off to-morrow. The treasurer of the Devon and Cornwall Female Orphan Asylum desires us to acknowledge the receipt of 101.165. from the ship's private fund of her Majesty's frigate Inconstant, 36, Captain J. Sheppard, paid off on Saturday by Mr. Henderson, Master-Attendant, in the absence of Lord J. Hay. Besides this sum the officers of the Inconstant gave 201. 12s. 6d. to the Sailors' Home, Portsmouth, 101. 6s. to th e S ea m en ' s Orphan School, Portsmouth, 201. 12s. 6d. to the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, 10/. 6 s . t o th e Ship wrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, 10/. 6s. to the Devonport Naval and Military Free School, 51. 3s. to the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum, Stoke, and Si. 3s. to the Plymouth Eye Infirmary . In consequence of the first contract-day, the 15th inst., falling on Sunday, the Postmaster-General, Lord Clanricarde, has sent orders for the shipment of the Cape mail on the day following, Monday, the 16th, when the screw steamer Bosphorus, Captain Hall, will start from Plymouth for the Cape of Good Hope. IRELAND. ACTION FOR LIBEL. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—For five whole days " the lawyers" have been talking away in the Court of Ex chequer upon an apparently simple case of alleged libel. in which Captain Edward Wynne, an inspecting officer under the Poor-law Commissioners, was the plaintiff, and the Marquis of Westmeath defendant. The libel complained of consisted of a petition to Parliament, drawn up by the Noble Lord, and by him circulated through a publication of it in several newspapers, to which he furnished copies of the document, 500 of which he caused to be printed for distribution. The petition, after a general statement in reference to the condition of the notorious union of Carsick-on-Shannon, attributed to the plaintiff conduct of a grossly immoral nature in his official capacity of poor-law inspector. The passage was as follows: " That the appointment of any individual to be in spector, and to act arbitrarily over us (the poor-law guardians), will appear to be equally reprehensible, he having, previously to his removal, compelled one of the relieving-officers to place on the list a woman of bad character with whom he was cohabiting, and on the re having-officer refusing to do so, and informing him that she held ground, and was not in need of out-door relief he persisted in bringing the case before the guardians, who refused her relief; and this was done on three several occasions. That an investigation was demanded of the Commissioners upon this immorality, and evaded by them." The damage was laid at 5,000 L A strong bar TM arrayed on each side, and the wordy warfare was sus tained with a tenacity worthy of an Irish Court of Nisi Prins in its most palmy days. For the defence, pleas of justification were put in, the evidence to support which is quite unfit for publi cat i on . Th e C h i ef Baron commenced his charge on Monday, and did net finish until the afternoon of yesterday, when the jury retired; and, after long deliberation, were discharged at 20 minutes past 5 o'clock, there not being the most remote possibility of their agreeing to a verdict. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER.—The home consumers of yarn, who have long kept themselves as barely supplied as their requirements would allow, are venturing to purchase rather more freely than of late; and, although the spin ners have not raised their quotations, they maintain them with a marked increase of firmness. There is also a moderate business in spinnings adapted for the Medi terranean. India counts and qualities are well engaged, and steady. From the German merchants there is a little more inquiry; but their purchases continue small. They are now expecting to hear that the Elbe is frozen. Al together, there is a somewhat improved tone in this de partment. As regards goods, no general activity is ob servable; but some of the wider and better printing cloths are in good request; and long cloths, as well as the light and medium qualities of domestics, are going of fairly. The India merchants are not active operators, but previous transactions by them and others have made the market bare of 40-inch shirtings. A general firmness prevails amongst manu facturers; and both they and the spinners are looking for some improvement in prices with the turn of the year. ROCHDALE.—There has been a dull market to-day, as is generally the case at this season of the year. The manufacturers are working up their former orders, and have received a few new ones of late. There is little change to report in the wool market. The business is of a limited kind, and prices firm. MACCLESFIELD.—There is little alteration to report in the manufacturing trade here. The manufacturers ap pear to be preparing for the spring trade by giving out more silk to the dyers, who are accounted tolerably busy. There has been little inquiry for thrown silks, but prices are much complained of. The raw silk market is quieter, but prices are firm. EfIIDDERSFIELD.—We have had, if anything, an im provement upon last week's market to-day. A fair amount of business has been done in tweeds, checks, and doeskins ; whilst plaids and stripes have been freely inquired for, and sales generally effected at pretty fair prices. There is not much doing in yarns. !, The fancy trade is flat, with the exception of one or two houses, who have not been so busy at this time of the year for some time as they are at present. The wool trade is quiet, and the advance of prices at the recent London sales will deter manufacturers from buying except to work out orders they may have in hand. HALlFAx.—There has been a little better demand to day for mixed ,fabrics, but not for other descriptions of worsted goods. Owing to the aspect of affairs on the Continent, the yarn trade continues paralysed, and prices are little more than nominal. There is a growing disposition amongst th e s pi nners t o res t r i c t production. In wools, there has been a little more doing, without any change in the quotations. LEEDS.—There is no change to notice in the cloth trade since our last report, The market has been dull, and there is not much doing the warehouses, but prices are firm. NEW SOUTH WALEs.--Letter; have come to hand from Sydney, dated the 20th Augukt last. The stocks of all kinds of goods were still very heavy, and trade con tinued depressed, but some little improvement was notice able during the last week. The price of wool had ad vanced, and the market would of course become firmer on the receipt of the news from England, regarding the rise in the London =met for - the staple. Good fair quality had ad vanced to Is. 24d. to Is. 4d. per lb. Of superior clip none had come down from the interior, and no quotation is given. The price of beef tallow was 27t. 155., and mutton lallow 28/. The Legislative Assembly was debating upon the estimates. The town of Ipswich, at Moreton Bay, is described as ra pidly advancing in importance. A Government sale of lands had been held, and the greatest animation prevailed ; all the lots put up found ready buyers, and the total sale realised 713/. is. Gd. OPENING OF THE WEST INDIA DOCK RAILWAY TO CAMDF TowN.—Another portion of this railway, which is intended to connect the London and North-Western Railway with the East and West India Docks at Blackwell, was opened for public traffic on Monday. For some months trains have been running on it from Highbury to Fenchurch street terminus, and the extension recently opened is to Cam den Town, the station being near the Eagle. Considering the distance, the fares are more than ordinarily low, and will, no doubt, seriously affect the omnibuses. Between Bow and the docks the works are in a very forward state, an immense area of ground at the eastern end of the West India Docks being occupied for warehouses, sidings, &c. „. S r).

GEORGE EDWARD lIOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey—Frimley, Bag shot, December 4, 1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLIEST, who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the dirties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of malting a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so tar as human sympathy and assistance call alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 40/, per annum, and subscriptions are ernestly solicited in a'd of these inadequate means. Subscriptions rill be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. [Terries, Farquhar, and Co. ; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; lieqsrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutis, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish sqturle ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

Captain Charles Edward Mangles, Foyle-park, Farnham, Surrey. The Commitee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donations.

SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. On Tuesday the works on this line were formally commenced by Mr. Ormsby Gore cutting " the first sod" in a field on the intended line situated about one mile from Hereford. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the directors of the company, Mr. Robertson, the engineer, Mr. Brassey, the contractor, to,(1 a large concourse of persons from Hereford. There were great rejoicings on the occasion, and the day was kept as a holiday. At two o'clock in the afternoon about 300 of the party sat down to a splendid collation in the assembly room of the Green ➢ragon Hotel. The festivities concluded with a ball, which was kept up with great spirit to a late hour. WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICKLOW, AND DUBLIN. The adjourned half-yearly meeting of shareholders ' was held yesterday at the King's Head, Poultry. Mr. C. Nash was called to the chair. The Cu AIRMAN stated that it was intended to ad journ the meeting to a future day, as the proceedings with respect to the injunction were still pending before the Master of the Rolls. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether any ex planation had been given by the directors respecting the notices of application to Parliament for power to go on with the line, instead of seeking authority to dissolve the company, as was understood to be their intention at the last meeting. The CHAIRMAN said the directors in their last re port had given the shareholders to understand that they were willing to wind up the affairs of the con cern and dissolve the company. The associated shareholders were very much surprised by the direc tors announcing their intention to go on with a por tion of the undertaking instead of winding up the affairs. The time having expired for which the in-' junction was granted to restrain the directors from certain proceedings, it became necessary to apply for its continuation. The motion came on before the Master of the Rolls, and the arguments occupied a considerable time, in the course of which the Mas ter of the Rolls expressed his surprise that the affairs of the company were not attempted to be wound up under the Railway Abandonment Act, passed in the last session of Parliament. He (Mr. Nash) considered it a breach of faith on the part of the directors to endea vour to make the line, and quite contrary to the un derstanding come to with the dissentient parties. The associated shareholders were determined to oppose the Bill in Parliament, and he believed they would be able to make such representations and disclosures be fore the Committee on the Bill as would prevent its fur ther progress. The SonthlWeles Railway directors also intended to apply to Parliament for power to legalise their subscription to the Waterford, Wexford, Wick low, and Dublin Railway Company. This measure would also be opposed by the associated shareholders of the South Wales Company. There could be no difficulty in winding up the company provided the directors were agreeable ; the Kingstown Company could not oppose it, but unfortunately the directors could always command a majority of votes in conse quence of the 11,200 shares held in the company by the South Wales Company, the directors of both companies being to a certain extent the same men. Negotiations were pending with the Railway Com missioners on the subject of the dissolution of the company. The associated shareholders would amend the existing bill in Chancery, in consequence of the subsequent proceedings of the directors, and they hoped eventually to be enabled to bring about the object they had in view. The matter would rest until the next term, when the Master of the Rolls would deliver his judgment. The meeting then adjourned to that day four weeks. THE NAVY, AND REAR ADMIRAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER. (From the Morning Herald.) Sir,—As I for the last eight days have been in a wild country, where even in this age the post is only received twice a week, I was not aware until yester day that Sir Charles -Napier had honoured my letter —which you so kindly gave place to in your valua ble paper some time back—with a reply, and you will perhaps here permit me to express to you, sir, my thanks for the ready publicity you have ever afforded to information that would tend to advance the credit of the navy and support the honour and character of its officers. Sir Charles says, that to bring the Russian, French, and American ships together to compete against the English is not possible, so that it cannot be proved that ours are better than theirs. If Sir Charles admits so much, what proof has he to warrant his repeated assertions that ours are worse than theirs ? But trust to be able to satisfy others, if not him, that I did not advance my opinion as to the superiority of our ships over those of the three great maritime powers without being able to bring some proof that my conviction was formed upon authentic and ocular evidence. Until after the battle of Navarino we had no squadron;of large ships in commission. The Genoa and Albion were the only line-of-battle ships Sir Ed ward Codrington had besides his own flag-ship, the Asia, in action. These two ships joined the squadron some time before the fight, and cruised with the French and Russian ships off the harbour. Their duty was simply that of blockade, so there was no great opportunity to test their sailing qualities ; but on two occasions the Genoa showed great superiority over two Russian line-of-battle ships, beating up the shores of the Morea. The Asia at that time beat every ship she sailed with, both foreign and English. When Sir Pulteney Malcolm took command of the Mediterranean station among the ships of his squad ron were the Britannia, St. Vincent, Caledonia, Ocean, Canopus, Windsor Castle, Thunderer, Spartiate, Re venge, Wellesley, and Edinburgh. His flag was on board the Britannia (the ship Sir Charles condemns), but which Sir Pulteney (no mean judge) used to call the pride of his heart, the finest first-rate he ever had his foot on board ; a ship he used to knock about in the stormy Archipelago in all weathers and during every season, with as much confidence as yachts men sail between Cowes and Portsmouth ; in which ship, whilst working among the islands of that dangerous sea, in gales and dark nights, and followed by the squadron, fre quently in close order, the fine old admiral would run out of his cabin (perhaps only in his drawers and great coat), beat to quarters, and in from six to seven minutes, with every hammock stowed, open his broad sides on the ships next to him ; and woe betide the unlucky captains if his fire was not returned in the same space of time. We heard of no crankness then, no incapability of fighting lower deck guns in his ship. There is a gallant officer, whose name is justly in high repute throughout the navy, who can verify the truth of what I say as to the Britannia, and, if his modesty will permit him, her admirable discipline, for he was her first lieutenant—l mean Sir Baldwin Walker. The French squadron, composed of (if I remember right) eight sail of the line, and commanded by their hest sailor, Admiral Hugon, was placed under Sir Pulteney Malcolm's orders; the two squadrons were constantly at sea, cruising together. The English formed the weather, the French the lee line. Their trials, both in exercise and sailing, were numerous ; and I trust our gallant rivals will forgive me for uttering what maf appear to them an ungenerous observe tion—when they consider the provocation which has produced this vindication—in saying that Sir Pulte ney drilled a most lubberly set of conscripts into good ordinary seamen, nothing more ; for in blowing wea ther, in situations where able seamen and true sea manship shines forth, they made a sad mess of it; while their harbour work, at up and down topgallant yards and masts, shortening and furling sail, became nearly equal to ours, and far superior to the exercise of the Cherbourg squadron—judging by the times published. Admit al Hugon used frequently to say that his service under the severe discipline of Sir Pul teney Malcolm gave his ships another character, and himself a new education. When Sir Josias Rowley succeeded to the command, the Britannia was still on the station. He admired her almost as much as Sir Pulteney, and used to detach her from the line, and send her to windward to cruise with the frigates, to show her sailing qualities off to advantage. During this command our squadron once fell in with the French fleet at sea, on their way back to Toulon. It had been blowing fresh during the night, but in the morning we made sail to double-reefed topsails, courses, jib, and reefed spanker. Our friends were under close-reefed maintopsails, storm-staysails, and topgallantmasts on deck. They were an hour making sail to what we had set; and the last we saw of them was half-courses down on our lee beam, at sunset. Again, in 1840, a portion of Sir Robert Stopford's fleet was detached to the Archipelago, under the com mand of Sir John Louis. That squadron had been at sea for some months before it was detached, and, with the rest of the fleet, had been undergoing con stant exercise. Sir John Louis anchored in Vourla Bay, and.the French squadron from Toulon, and newly commissioned, did the same. The French Admiral commenced a course of exercise—sometimes while at anchor, and occasionally getting under weigh and ma noeuvring in the bay. I mention this so particularly, for I remember Sir Charles Napier (I think in Par liament) reflected strongly on Sir John Louis for net exercising in the same manner, and for keeping his ships at anchor, with the example of an active French fleet before his eyes. Now, the fact was, as 1 say, that our ships had gone through a season of exer cise at sea, and the raw French squadron was rubbing up lee way in a smooth b ay ; while our crews were being practised at the on l y evolution they could not perform while at sea—i. e., landing and exercising with field pieces and light infantry drill on shore. I have no doubt Sir Charles would have wished a con tinuance of the former exercise, for his ship, the Powerful, had not been much at sea with the fleet in the spring, and was not tO smart as th e s hips which had been longer in commissi on . B ut b ecaus e his ship required exercise, it was not fair to say that the others were not in good order, for, with one or two excep tions, they were very smart, and all superior to the French—so much so, indeed, that their admiral asked permission to attend on hoa r d some o f th e ships during general quarters. He re v i se d hi s magaz i n e drill and stations to ours, and afterwards sent his ships, one and two at a time, to Toulon, to have their magazines al tered to the plan of those fitt e d a ft er the Excellent 's , I have hitherto confined my remarks to comparing the relative merits of the squadrons and large ships of France end England employed in the Mediterranean. Were I not afraid of en croac hi ng t o o much on your valuable space, I could enumera t e many more bril liant comparisons, to the credit of our tligates and smaller ships on other stations. Sir Charles has said less of the Russian ships lately than of the French; yet, as with those of our neigh bours, they are always presented in fairer view to the public than the ship s o f his birthright. For myself, individually, I have sailed less in corn pang with Russian than with ships of other nations. In 1835 I saw their fleet of 18 line-of-battle ships and 14 frigates, under Admiral Crown, manoeuvring in the Gulf of Finland; they looked well; were very methodical and very slow ; their 84's were not so large or such fine looking ships as ours of Asia and Vanguard class. The 74's were about the size of the Pembroke and Cornwallis, drawing less water than those ships by 13 or 14 inches, carrying their guns lower, and incapable of stowing more than three months and a half provisions under hatches. At the date I speak of they were building brigs after the model of our old 18's (an item in Sir Charles's con demned list) ; and since then they have copied Sir W. Symonds's 26-gun frigates ; so have the French and also the Spaniards. Two of the finest war steamers in "the Russian navy are from the lines of Vesuvius and Stromboli. The gallant Admiral only incidentally alludes to the American ships. I have met most of their navy on four different stations. The South Carolina, marked as a 74 on the Navy List mounted 104 guns. I met her in the Mediterranean in 1827, under Commodore Rogers. And again in 1838, in the Pacific, the Ohio, not quite so large, but mounting, I think, 100 guns, I have seen 'in South America; they carry their lower deck batteries closer to the water than any other ships I have ever seen. And the officers of the South Carolina told me that they frequently had to close their lower deck ports when under single. reefed topsails and topgallant sails. Their large frigates Potomac, United States, Constitution, &c., are con siderably smaller than our razees of the Dublin class, and fully 500 tons smaller than the built 50's, I:ke Constance, Leander, Raleigh, Phaeton, Ste. They will bear no comparison with these ships ; they are much cranker, are not such good sailers (by compa rison), and their quarters are more confined. The Independ ence i s a n exception to the above rule. Sh e is a razee f rom an 84, and mounts, including th ose on her gangway, 60 guns. In 1846 th e R ar itan, 52, one of their newest, l argest, and hest, tried r a te of sailing with our old Endy m i on, formerly of 50, now 44 guns. They left A n t on Lezado (Gulf of Mexico) together, and worked up to Sacrificios against a strong sea breeze, under double reefed topsails and topgallantsails. The Endymion beat the Raritan at the rate of one mile and a half per hour. Their large corvettes vary from 750 to 1,060 and 1,200 tons, mounting 22, 24, and 26 guns, and are very fine ships ; b u t th ey are not such-per fect men of war as Sir W. Sy rands's 26 gun frigate built ships, owing to the want of spardechs to protect , their batteries ; nor, from their great length :end flat floor, do they work so smartly, nor are they so weatherly. The chequered commencement of the American war wounded our pride, and saved our navy. It at once displayed our weakness in our vainglory, produced from twenty years of uninterrupted victories, and I excited a watchful determination. Since then the careful and continuous instruction of our men and officers in gunnery has never relaxed, nor the improvement in the art and science of ship • building ever been overlooked. The Americans, on the other hand, elated at their escape, were satisfikd with the ships the peace left them, and have built from the same lines, with few exceptions, ever since ; so have the French; and the officers of both countries have written many pamphlets complaining that they are standing still in the art of ship-building, while the English are producing models they have nothing to compare with. If we examine what has caused the feeling in the public mind that the Admiralty has indulged in " vexatious experiments, directed by no method, and guided by no principle," we will trace it to the jealousies of theoretical science being obliged to yield some value and credit to the experience of practice. The columns of the press were chosen as the tilting fields, to the bewilderment of the spectators, who only were convinced of one thing, that both parties had lost their tempers; they looked round for an umpire, and in walked Sir Charles Napier, who certainly acted much after the example of the lawyer with the oyster. He declared the old ships too narrow and too crank to carry their guns, and the new too broad and too un easy to fight them. Before 1827 the Navy Board held the monopoly of ship-building. The Surveyor sent his lines to it for inspection and approval, and from its decision there was no appeal. Then the Surveyors were purely scientific men, and entirely unacquainted with the practice of seamanship. But in justice to those emi nent men—for they were (with all due deference to Sir Charles) most eminent men—it is fair to say that, although the forms of their ships were not superior, even if equal, to the better French ships, the mathe matical and mechanical science they displayed in the construction of their frames was as far in advance of our neighbours in skill as the correct fitting and ap plication of rigging was in practical seamanship. The Government of 1826, determined to break through the old routine of shipbuilding, allowed four rival com petitors to send in their own lines. Captain Hayes built two—Challenger, 28 guns; Wolf, 18. Profes sor Inman--Sapphire, 28. Sir Robert Seppings— Satellite and Acorn, each 18, and Tyne, 26. And, after much opposition and contempt from all to whom he submitted his lines, and not until Lord Vernon had guaranteed to be responsible for the price of the ves sel, should she prove a failure, Capt. Symonds was allowed to build the Columbine, 18. These seven vessels put to sea in 1827, and Vice- Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy was the able umpire ap pointed to decide their respective merits. After re peated trials the palm of victory was given to the Columbine. This result caused great astonishment and much bitterness of feeling ; for science had de Glared against the possibility of great beam with a short floor competing, in any way, with narrow beam and a long flat floor. But when it was shown that speed was not only saved, but increased, other advan tages to be gained to the man of war by its adoption became so immediately manifest that the basis upon which all subsequent ships were built—even by the great rivals and schools opposed to Sir W. Symonds —was his great fundamental rule that increased beam could alone secure stability. This is so in Sir R. Seppings's frigate Castor compared to his other ships. It is so in Admiral Hayes's Inconstant compared to his Challenger; so Ilse in Thetis, by School of Naval Architecture; Leander, by Blake; even Phmton, by White, at Cowes, although not to the same extent. I mention this not to detract from the originality of those eminent builders, but to allow what a vast advance has been made in the art of shipbuilding since the date above alluded to. At present it is extremely difficult to pass judgment on the decided superiority of any one of the recently built ships over the rest—they are all so near perfec tion—as far as our knowledge, by comparison, will justify U 3 in saying so. And the following are the great builders who have supplied the navy with these magnificent ships :—Sir William Symonds, Messrs. Fincham, Blake, Edye, School of Naval Architec ture, Lang (father and son), and White, of Cowes. Sir Charles Paget commanded an experimental squadron in the Channel in the summer of 1836. Among his ships were the Bellerophon, Vanguard, Pembroke, Cornwallis, Hercules, and latterly Incon stant and Pique, frigates. The Vanguard (Symonds) proved the best; and Pembroke, one of Sir Charles's tabooed class, second. We had some fresh gales, and to the admiral's surprise, the only ship that did not want to anchor, to have her rigging set up, was Vanguard. The Admiral, in his answer to my letter, admits the Queen to be an excellent ship. (She is a large Van guard.) St. George and Neptune he merely men tions as untried ships, although each one foot wider than St. Vincent. This will infer them to be very superior ships, as St. Vincent and Britannia are ships Sir P. Malcolm and Sir Henry Hotham praised—. they each carry a weight of broadside heavi er th an that thrown by the Santisima Trinidad, at Trafalgar ; and fully 500 tons larger than and of our first -rates that were in that action. The Howe was a stiff ship under Sir W. Pell, and the Princess Charlotte sailed well, was stiff, and very handy while under Sir Robert Stopford'sflag, and her capt a i n a l ways spoke well of her; and if her sister ships prove equal to her we shall be extremely fortunate. The St. Vincent is having her poop removed for the purpose of placing 841bs. pivot guns on her upper deck, which will add to her weight of armament. Sir Charles does not inform the public that those three-deckers he finds fault with as crank ships were built before the heavy ordnance now in use throughout the navy was cast, and before the bombes a la Paix hans were invented; and that now they are armed with 68 and 321bs. on decks which were only made to carry 24 and 181 be.! But as it was found they were quite ca pable of bearing the increase, they,have received it. Sir Charles is inconsistent. When the Queen was first built he said the Admiralty was running wild, and building ships too large for the present race of men to work. Now be has himself tested that ship's fine qualities, he says that the old ships (formerly quoted by him as good enough) are useless, and all ought to be Queens As well might we condemn James Watt's original steam-engine because the appliances of the present day have altered its arrangement, although not its system. However, I am glad to see Sir Charles at last admits we have some fine ships. The eight ships copied from the French Canopus are, as the gallant Admiral justly observes, very fine ships ; but they are if anything better ships, because their upper decks are wider, but not, in my opinion, equal to our new 80's after Collingwood and Van guard. I have seen the Rodney sail well, in the Mediterranean and also in Channel, although inferior to Canopus and Vanguard, she is a noble man-of-war. The Cambridge and Indus, after the Christian VII., are particularly fine ships, and fast. The Admiral says, " It is no use mentioning the small 74's, as they are not fit to go into line." In this I differ with him —he also seems to forget that some of these very 74's have been in line, and against larger ships—be sides which they are now armed throughout with 321b5., and throw a heavier broadside than the French 84's, which fought at the Nile and Trafalgar. They are good sea-boats--some of them sail well, and they are well adapted for Channel and North Sea service. While at St. Petersburgh Admiral Kruzenstern said to me, " Depend upon it your Government ought alway to keep a reserve of short handy line-of-battle ships, both on two and three decks, for such seas as the Skager Rack and Cattegat. It is quite a mistake to have no ships smaller on two decks than 80's and 92's for such seas." I think he was right, and, what is more, I think he was honest. As Sir Charles well knows, he served in our navy both at Trafalgar and under Sir Alexander Cochrane. I know most of those ships Sir Charles saw at Cher bourg, and have sailed in company with some of them; several were old inferior ships, and none of them equal to the Queen, Trafalgar, St. George, Howe, Vanguard, or Rodney class. Some were fastened on the old principle, with wooden knees, and a winter cruise off Ushant would shake them to pieces. Beauty is a matter of taste, and I am glad the gallant Admiral was satisfied. No fleet can have discipline where noise prevails ; and I hear there was plenty of that on board the French ships. Still I doubt not their state was very creditable for the time they had been together, and I do not wish to detract from our neighbours, but simply to prevent unjust and overdrawn comparisons, prejudicial to the present state of our navy, from pass ing unexamined—" Ut quimus, quando, ut volumus non Beet." Notwithstanding Sir Charles assumes I must have been asleep, I beg to assure him I was aware that the Terrible and Retribution were built to cart' main-deck guns before the Sidon. I may be more singular in my opinion than I had supposed in disap proving of such a battery in paddle steamers ; yet I approve of main decks and large ports in steamers ; but, as I said before, I would keep them to act as (light cavalry) quick dispatch vessels, capacious transports. Much of this, in my opinion, you coun teract by filling them with guns and men, and all their accompaniments of weight and expense ; in fact, you are risking a large capital, which at the best can only pay a small per- t entage . Odin, Furious, Magi cian, and Tiger are vessels admirably adapted to at tend a fleet, which, if it had troops on board, for coast service, would find them more useful without their main-deck guns. I think the Leopard better as she is, than if she had been deeper, for the fault of the Sidon is the great draught of water, which may, in cases, prevent her crossing bar-harbours, or being of service as an in-shore skirmisher. Steamers require armaments that shall enable them to do some mischief to powerful sailing-ships, while keeping at such a distance as not to endanger their machinery. A cruising steamer is useful in proportion to her capacity, speed,:and availability ; and when we con sider that every ton weight given to armament is a ton taken from that which supplies the moving-power, we lessen ber availability for distant service ; and if we endeavour to combine to the capacity for carrying much coal, another to carry a heavy armament, with its accompaniments, the quality of speed will be re duced. It is upon this principle I uphold the value of our fine second-class steamers—the Scourge, In flexible class—vessels manned by a sloop-of-war's crew, possessing capacious decks, speed, stowage for coals (Scourge steamed from England to West Indies), sailing qualities to keep company with a fleet under canvas and weight of ordnance, which could annoy large ships in a calm, or breach a fort, as the Phoenix did the castle of St. Sebastian. I have seen an entire regiment landed by one in China, and a three-decker towed between six and seven knots by another. The French have nothing of the same class equal to them. Sir Charles objects to the Arrogant screw frigate, because the steam power is auxiliary. Why, Sir, that is her great merit—she carries 46 guns, has weight of metal equal to a 50, sails admirably, and under steam alone (although auxiliary) beat the best French screw-steamer across from Tangier to Gib raltar by several hours. She is without exception the most dashing and enviable command in the navy. I fear,lSir, I have encroached on your space beyond all bounds, but I have been led on from point to point in my desire to make your readers as sceptical of Sir Charles's facts, as he has made some of them of the accuracy of their old belief that the navy ever de served to be considered their cou n try' s " b oas t an d glory. , - I have the honour to. remain, Your obedient servant, Nov. 2. W. We have given in another part of our paper a letter of our correspondent" W." in rejoinder to Rear-Ad miral Sir Charles Napier's last, relative to the com parative states and warlike value of the fleets of France, Russia, and our own. From the date of our cor respondent's letter, it will be concluded that it has been in type for a considerable period ; and the cause of its non-insertion until to-day will readily be attributed to the great pressure on our columns by the all-absorbing feeling on the Papal aggression, and the mighty anti-Popery movement. It is lamentable to see the incorrect and vague in formation diffused on the subject of naval architec ture amongst naval officers and others interested in naval affairs , after such a full and searching discus sion as the last twenty-five years have witnessed ; but it is still more surprising that such an intelli gent writer as our correspondent should adopt or patronise the entirely exploded and mischievous doctrines, or rather dogmas, of the ex-Surveyor of the Navy. One would think that the object of " W." would have been that of refuting Sir Charles Napier's hal lucinations, instead of endeavouring by his (" IN's") single authority to make an opportunity of again propounding and supporting notions equally con demned by the true theory of naval construction and by the disastrously ruinous failures resulting from a delusion which could no longer be supported in the face of day. We have not the most remote intention of again, knocking down that which has been proved to be un true in theory, and most amply, at the national cost, has been condemned by its practical results ; and, on account of the latter, entirely given up by a Board which had most pertinaciously persevered, against hope, in carrying into effect the visionary and crude notions inculcated by a baseless hypothesis. The theory of shipbuilding is not a matter of opinion, but a subject for mathematical reasoning, demonstration, and inductive philosophy. The late experimentalisation to which the British navy has been subjected has, indeed, been of some small value, inasmuch as it has placed before us in palpable terms what to avoid ; but this negative deduction has been obtained at an enormous and needless cost, and the Admiralty are so thorougly convinced that such is the case, that it will in future be very cautious how the public treasure is wasted upon wild hazard, not withstanding the malicious insinuations of Sir Charles Napier. With respect to Sir C. Napier, it is impos sible for him to hold any ground on which he is met with facts and experience. Our otherwise able cosrespondent has erred either from a want of inquiry, or from a lingering desire to hold by what was formerly an official opinion, but one which, we assure him again, could neither stand the test of scientific investigation, nor of fair and well-conducted experiment. It proved to be only an opinion, and what was worse, a very incorrect and a very mischievous one when carried into effect. NEW EDITION OF SYDNEY SMITH'S WORKS.

ARRIVAL OF THE WATER WITCH AT PORTSMOUTH FROM THE COAST OF AFRICA.—The WaterWitCh, 8, Commander Richard R. Quin, anchored in Cowes roads on Tuesday night, and went up to Spithead at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. She passed Ply mouth on Sunday morning, and has been 'detained in the Channel since that time by light winds and foggy weather. Her dates are—St. Helena, 18th October; Ascension, the 25th; and Sierra Leone, the 11th November. At Sierra Leone she shipped a small freight, consisting of 11 boxes of gold and gold dust, consigned to Messrs. Emanuel, of Portsmouth, which was landed yesterday, and was conveyed to London yesterday afternoon in charge of one of these gentle men. She left the Centaur, flag, steam-frigate, Commo dore Fanshawe, C. 8., Captain M. Buckle ; the Cy clops, 6, steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. F. Hastings ; and the Sealark, 8, Commander Sotheby, off Ben guella, the 18th of October; all well. The Cyclops was to sail the middle of November for England. At St. Helena, there was no man-of-war except the American brig Perry. At Ascension, the Tortoise, Captain Hutton. At Sierra Leone, there were the Hound, 8, brig, Commander Frederick Patten; Dolphin, 3, brigan tine, Lieut.-Commander Temple; and the Firefly steamer, 5, Commander G. Seymour. The latter vessel arrived at Sierra Leone, from England, two days be fore the Waterwitch sailed. The ships on the coast and the islands were healthy. On the 14th of August the Waterwitch captured a fine Brazilian brig, considered to be the finest vessel and fastest sailer out of Rio. She had made five suc cessful voyages, and had repeatedly been chased, but had always escaped. It was nearly calm when the Waterwitch saw her, and she sent two boats after her ; but on the boats nearing her she fired on them, and as they were not of sufficient force to contend with her, they returned to their brig. Fortunately a breeze sprung up, and after a most interesting chase of 15 hours the Waterwitch succeeded in coming up with her and capturing her. She has been purchased by the authorities of Sierra Leone for au hospital depot. In all, the Waterwitch has, in her course of two years' service, captured s even ves se l s , on e full one, with 800 slaves on board.
