Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same)? I'll tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Oatar +et, Nervous lleadach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to bo stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by 'ferries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account cf its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

Tha Society fur Promoting the Amendment of the Law held a general meeting last night at their rooms in Regent-street, Mr. C onmissioner Fane in the chair. Mr. S. M. Green, of Dublin, was elected a member. Mr. A'BECKETT then read the report of the com mittee of equity on his plan for the improvement of the law relating to deceased persons' estates. Two Bills were proposed : the first introducing new rights, the second a new procedure. The report proposed to give personal protection to executors, and for a certain period, until such time as the real assets were ascer tained. It also proposed to do away with the princi ple of priority that now obtained with respect to the division of deceased persons' estates among cre ditors ; the committee, in reference to the distribution of deceased persons' estates by the courts, approved of the adaptation of the machinery of the Courts of Bankruptcy to that purpose ; and the clauses of the Bill were, therefore, framed closely upon the model of the new Bankruptcy Act. The Bill, however, to create a special tribunal, entitled the Administration of E Aa.tes Jurisdiction Court, to be presided over by Judges of the Court of Bankruptcy. Toe claims of the creditors upon an estate should be considered paramount to those of relations; and, therefore, in the proposed plan, the debts were made a primary charge upon the estate, with the sole exception of the costs of administration. But all persons having claims upon the estate would be permitted to register these claims for the purpose of adjudication. Several instances of the ruinous cost of dividing the estates of deceased persons under the present system were adduced ; in one, where a sum of 2,5001. had been realised, only 351. were di vided among the creditors; while in another, where 3,0001. were obtained, not a penny had been so ap portioned. The speaker asserted that this description was far short of the real evil, and that it was impossible to exaggerate the real wrong. The ruin of families was a constant result of the present cruel law, but still there was nothing done to remedy this wrong, or even to palliate these evil., though many of the latter lay on the sui face, and were mere anomalies that might be removed by a few words. He alluded in particular to the difference now maintained between specialties and contract debts, by means of which the former were preferred to the latter ; and he mentioned a case within his own knowledge, where there were specialty debts for 31,000/. on an estate, and only 1,5001. contract debts, but the latter ob tained nothing on the divition of the property of the deceased, while the former received 15s. in the pound from the property. Specialty debts were causes of the greatest amount of fraud, as all solicitors knew ; and everyone was acquainted with the facilities afforded by the Legislature for confessing judgment. The remedy for this was simple—that the executor should not pay one creditor to the exclusion of another, until he knew the amount the estate under his administration would discharge. He hoped the act of the society would not end with the adoption of the report, but that it would be directed to carry the plan so approved of into execution. The CUAIRMAN suggested that as the system of preference among creditors had been abolished in bankruptcy 200 years ago, and in the distribu ion of equitable assets in Chancery, as contradistinguished from legal assets, that the Bill should embrace an enactment making all assets equitable assets, and as such placing them for distribution in Chancery. This he thought would entirely do away with preferences. Mr. ATECKETT said one of the enactments of the Bill he had drawn up was to that effect. Mr. SPENCE said the distinction between legal and equitable assets was purely speculative, and the Court of Chancery made the distinction because it did not choose to take away from a creditor his right at law. The Court of Chancery knew no inequality, and never at any time recognised the justice of pre ference. Courts of law went on the principle that specialty gave a prior right ; the Court of Chancery went on the principle that the justice of the case was in equality of distribution in the matter of assets. One or other was, therefore, in the wrong, and according to his opinion, it was not the Court of Chancery. He (Mr. Spence), from a long experience of Chancery, and a full knowledge of the operation of bankruptcy, was of opinion that the duties created by the Bill under discussion should be confided to the commis sioners of bankrupts. There was no comparison, in point of legal training, between a Master in Chancery and a Commissisner of Bankrupts, nor in the means and appliances wielded by the one and by tha other. My. J. STUART did not oppose the reception of the report, though to adopt it would be to tell the Court of Chancery that it could not do its business; but he PARLIAMEN TAR Y REFORM. The first metropolitan mpeOng of the National Charter Association was held 'last evening, at the London Tavern, and was most numerously attended. The great room of' the tavern was densely crowded, and amongst those on the platform we noticed Messrs. Arnott, Clark, Ilarney, Kydd, Dilcor, Reynolds, M‘Grath, Grassby, Stanwood, and other active mem bers of the Chartist Association ; Mr. Feargus O'Con nor, M.P., was called-to the chair. Mr. T. CLARK, who officiated as secretary to the meeting, then read the following address : " THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN. " Friends and Brethren,—W e avail ourselves of the opportunity afforded by the first grand metropo litan meeting held under our administration, to afford you some idea of that policy which we intend to adopt for the purpose of imparting vigour to the cause of resuscitating Chartism ; and by this spon taneous readiness on our pat: to give an account of our stewardship at so early a day afrer our election to office, as well as by the plans we are about to make known to you, we believe that we are affording the country the best possible preof that no time has been wasted in entering seriously, actively, and energetically upon the important duties entrusted to us. " In the first place, we hare directed our attention to the propriety of holding several grand metropolitan meetings, at the largest places that can be obtained for such assemblage ; and also in localities the inha bitants of which have not hitherto been much accus tomed to hear anything of Chartism save through the studied, intentional, and unwearied misrepresentation of the principal newspapers of the day. Whether we have commenced our series of great meetings in a fitting place, and a proper neighbourhood, we must leave those who are acquainted with the London Tavern, and who are aware that it is in th e very heart of London, to decide. "In the second place, we are about to prom u l ga t e to the country, at an early day, a system for local organization ; and this will be the very first measure to which we propose to direct our attention in the course of the ensuing fortnight. "Thirdly, we have it in contemplation to hire upon lease some large, commodious, and well-suited place of meeting, where weekly assemblages may be held, and where lectures may be delivered ; and should it prove difficult to obtain such a place as may be in all respects suitable for the purposes named, we propose to negotiate with a builder for the erection of a Chartist hall, in a spot conveniently central. " Fourthly, we have already deliberated, and shall shortly renew, the discussion upon the propriety of calling a conference to assemble in London, in the middle of the month of March, for the purpose of giving additional vigour to the Chartist mov em e n t, and affording the people's real represent a ti ves , th us chosen, an opportunity of proclaiming the require• ments and interests, the demands and the rights, o: the industrious classes, at the same time that th e r e presentatives of aristocracy, capital, a n d l an d e d i nte rest, are assembled at St. Stephen's. "Fifthly, we purpose to make arrangements for the publication and gratuitous distribution of tracts, written in a plain and calmly argumentative style, so that the wrongs and sufferings of the masses may be expressed at the same time that the remedies may be suggested ; and that the people generally may be well prepared to make a worthy use of those rights and privileges of which it is hoped they will soon become the possessors. " Sixthly, we have resolved to place ourselves in communication with the democrats of Ireland, and solicit their co-operation in the great moral struggle which the unrepresented and enslaved masses inEng lsnd, Scotland, awl Wales, have undertaken against aristocratic tyranny, class-legislation, and oligarchical oppression. _ . Seventhly, we shall Bpi eal to the democrats in the colonies to unite their voices with those of their suffering brothers and sisters in the mother country ; and we shall assure the dwellers in those misgoverned portions of the empire, that they have our warmest sympathies and must give us theirs in return. "Eighthly, we have resolved to call upon the great cities and towns of E 'gland and Scotland to adopt immediate measures for the furtherance of the good cause by a vigorous and energetic, though graceful, legal, and moral agitation, for the People's Charter. We invite our friends and brethren in those cities and towns to develope as speedily, and as fervidly as possible, all the resources of which local effort is capable, and which neither menace public tranquillity nor violate the law. We recommend large meetings to be called; and, under suitable arrangements, we propose that deputations from your provisional com mittee should visit those places where their services would be useful. " This is the outline cf the policy unanimously adopted by your provisional committee. If the Chartists of the metropolis, and the provinces, will support us, we have no doubt of our ability to carry into give Charti s m suc h an i mpos i ng the Plans just shadowed f o rth. Th e result execution b attitude a 3 it never has assumed before ; a n d w i t h t the middle classes agitating f ur re f orm on the one e allo hand, and the industrious classes sustaining their own grand, enlightened, and majestic movement on the other, no considerable length of time can elapse ere monopolisers of power and oppressors of all kinds shall be forced to abandon their strongholds, and yield to the voice of justice and the pressure of truth. «Signed by the Provisional Committee, JOHN ARNOTT "G.

The millowners had not come forward to join the new movement, because they knew they made more profit of the people's labour than some landlords did.—(Cheers.) He never before felt more anxiously on the subject of Chartism. his mind was full of thought for them, and Chartism was his night dream—(Cheers)--but then their h w e ag co e u s, ld it se a e t h w a e a ll d e s n s o tr u a g c h k t e h ff at millownerathweeekeek. On employing 2,000 once made for hi mse lf 2001. a w he met Mr. Cobden at Aylesbury. He did not go there to meet Mr. Cobden, but to see it the great Baron Munchausen, Mr. Disraeli, would be there.— (Laughter.) On that occasion Mr. Cobden Carrie a resolution which amounted in effect to universal suffrage.—(Hear, hear.) He (the Chlirmaa) wa4 well received by the meeting, and proved that the views which he enunciated in respect of the conduct of the landlords towards their tenants was appreciated by his hearers. The object of his lite was to make free trade useful to the great body of the people, and what they waned was to bring the land into the retail market.—(Hear.) They would soon have Parliament opened, and he would tell them what they might expect there. Every Minister wished for a cr.) to go to the country. Lord John Russell would bring in a Bill to extend the suffrage in this country and in Ireland. It would pass the Common., but the Lard:. would throw it out, and the extension of the suffrage would be the cry to go to the country With.—(hear.) He might be asked why he assumed to himself the leadership of the Chartists. He had his authority there on parchment, which was given to him by the representative of the Chartist body in 1835, and for 15 years he had acted as the leader of the Chartists Let him tell them the reason why they did not effect an extension of the suffrage before now. It arose from. their own disunion.—(Hear.) The trades and the unions differed, because one man could get 305. a week, while another could only earn 103. But if they all worked to gether they would soon be in a position.to earn 31. A week. Look at the state of the franchise in Middlesex for instance. 1,500,000 persons only returned two members of Parliament, while the same number spread over several boroughs, returned 246 Members. —(Hear, hear, and Shame.) Shame. Aye, but it was their fault, because they were not united.— (Elear, hear.) Tney ought to act differently. They oughteto seek by every means to obtain an extension of the franchise, for without it they could do nothing. What was the use of reducing the expenditure of the country by twenty millions ? They would be no bettor off afterwards, unless they were fully repre sented.—(flear, hear.) What principle then was better than that every man of 21 years of age, of sound intellect, and untainted by critnc•, should be entitled to vote for a representative ? What they wanted was to effect their object by constitutional mean.. They did not want revolutions, fir revolu tions only ended in promoting the objects of the high and middle class people to the prejudice cf the great body of the people.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman, after referring to the necessity of entire freedom in the land, called on the meeting to act firmly together, closing his speech with these lines : " Unite, unite, ye Chartists brave, Let the land your watchword be; Sc out, scout the servile slave That crouches when he may be free. Up, ye heroes, at the despots, Lick no more the despot's hand; Leave your pauper workhouse mess-pots, Live like freemen on your land. Then free-trade will be a blessing, When men can work, and cat, and play, When shepherds cease to live by floecing, Then each flock its own will pay." —(Great cheers.) Mr. G. W. M. REYNOLDS rose to move the first re solution, which was as follows :—" That in the opi nion of this meeting the alarming and downward ten dency of the labouring and general industrial inte rests of the United Kingdom and the colonies is the result of the present unjust and unequal system of Go vernment, promoting as it does the corrupt interests of a small faction at the expense of the people at large; and that this meeting expresses its deliberate conviction that the only safe and effectual remedy for the colonies is independent responsible government, and for the United Kingdom such a change of our representative system as will place the House of Commons under the direct control of the nation, and by the admittal of the entire male adult population within the pale of the electoral franchise, and which would be accomplished, most satisfactorily to this meeting, by the enactment of the People's Charter as the basis of a future constitution." He gave his hearty adhesion to this resolution, and he begged to express his feeling of delight at seeing that over flowing meeting. Heaven knew that reform was necessary, when they saw that poverty was stamped on the faces of nine-tenths of the people. The Chair man said that Lord J. Russell would bring in a Bill to extend the franchise. They might depend upon it the reforms in that respect would be of the most limited description. An attempt might be made to save the aristocracy, but the aristocracy were on their last legs, and they would fall by their own weight. After referring to the result of the revolution in France, and having expressed a belief that the prin ciple of democracy would yet be high in the ascend ant, and that kings and emperors would fall before its power, and such men as Kossuth and Mazzini would return to their respective countries, Mr. Reynolds proceeded to observe, that if England opposed herself to the spirit of liberalism abroad, she would suffer in her power, for America would take from her Canada, and other of her colonies, while France would invade Ireland, and thus the British people would be left isolated in their own island. He then observed upon the state to which the great body of the people was reduced, thousands and thousands ( f whom were to be found seeking shelter either in the gaol or the workhouse. The only cure for this state of things was the extension of the suffrage, as suggested by the People's Charter. Mr. Reynolds here complained of the large sum paid to the Qtee'en and Pi ince Albert, and asked them if they were satisfied at King Leopold having 50,0001. a year from them ? (Hear)—or at the King of amover having 27,0001. a year from this country ?—(Hear, hear.) Could they wonder that the people desired republics when such things as these took place ?—(Hear, hear.) He called on them to oppose themselves to those laws that upheld the aristocratic principle. Let them agitate ind clamour to widen the doors of the Muse of Common, and if they obtained universal suffrage and the other points of the Charter, this end would be effected.—(H-ar, hear.) It they gave in their adhe 4ion to those principles, the time was not far distant when there would not be a hungry person in this ;rest kingdom.—(flear.) Mr. latGaaTts seconded the resolution, and ex pressed his satisfaction at the appearance of that great meeting, assembled, as it was, to hold up the banner of the People's Charter to the admiring eyes of the Chartists of the country.—(Neer.) The National Association was formed to carry out the object of the Charter, and they wanted the aid of people to carry out the purpose which they had in view. They were about to make a grand effort to pull down the cor rupt system which had existed for so long a time in this country, and to rear upon it the solid and substantial structure of liberty.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution said that the country had a dove n ward tendency. There could be no doubt of this feet, for the wages of the people testified to it in the fullest manner.—(Hear, hear.) This state of the people originated either in the existence of bad laws or the want of good ones—consequently all this re sulted from class legislation.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution also referred to the colonies, and he was, therefore, justified in observing that the colonies were dissatisfied at the manner in which they were governed by this country, and he need only instance the East Indies as a proof of the faulty system pur sued by this country in respect to the countries de pendent upon her. He next referred to the question of protection, and asked what protection would Disraeli or Stanhope give them ? Just the same protection that the wolf would give to the lamb.— (Hear, hear.) The remedy fur the present state of things was not a return to prohibit, as a reimposi tion of the corn-laws would be prejudicial to the real interests of the people. In conclusion, he would only observe that while he would advise them to take all the advantages they could get from Parliament by assistance of other persons, yet it would be their duty to stand by themselves, and carry out the great obligations which they as Chartists had in view, —(Rear.) Mr. VBRNON, described es a Chartist victim, then came forward to support the resolution, and was loudly cheered. He supported the Charter, because it would be the means by which great things could be effected tor the people. Tney wanted a rev olution for the benefit of the people. He trusted it would be a moral one, and he could only say that he would be ready to aid them to work out that end whenever called upon to do so. Mr. I : LARNE; in supporting the resolution, said he was one of those who had no confidence in the Na tional Reform Association movement. lie admitted that the plan of reform put forth by that society ap proximated closely upon that put forth by the Chartists, but it had in it the flaw of the money qualification, for it made the payment of the rates a necessary con sequence upon the right to vote. Then the payment of Members was not upheld by is —and until the work ing classes were represented by Members of their own body, their interest would not be fairly upheld in the [louse of Commons. And how could the working men go to Parliament without they were paid ? At the same time he had no objection to these gentlemen succeed ing, for then the great charter would fallow, and the people would never be satisfied until they possessed universal suffrage. He could not face Ernest Jones And the other victims of the Charter if he gave his support to any principle short of the Charter._ (llear.)'lie admitted that revolutions had not tended very much to exalt the condition of the people, but still the people of France had obtained a power which, .f it was continued to them a few years longer, would enable them to overthrow Louis Napoleon, Theirs, and all the other rascals in France, restore the exiled patriots to their country, and establish the Red Re public.—(Hear, hear.) If Louis Napoleon succeeded in overthrowing the Republic, and placing himself in the palaces of the Bourbon, still he (Mr. Harney) would not despair of France, for if he allowed the principle of universal suffrage to exist, it would in the end, overthrow him, and as tht French nation moved they moved, the nation generally would imitate the example set them, and republics would rise up all over the world.—(Hear.) The Chairmen said they ought to have a free trade it. land, but he protested against land being made a question of sale and bargain ; for the lend was Ott oroperty of the people, and ought to be held in trust for them by the Government.—(llear.) He thee referred to the case of the colonies, and said they ought to be allowed to govern themselves. If this were dune, the colonies would be improved, and. joining hand in hand with the mother country, they would go down to posterity as one family. Mr. limey then took a review of the foreign policy ot this country, and contended that Lord Paltnerstor was to blame for sacrificing the honour of this country to treaties which were not in accordance with the wishes or feelings of the people.—(Hear.) 4inn supported the reaolution in an energetic . speech ; after which the resolution was put from the chair, and agreed to unanimously. The Chairman then retired, and Mr. M'Grath was appointed to fill the chair for the remainder of the evening. Mr. CLARKE then moved the second resolution, which was as follows :—" That in order to make effective the demand for the enactment of the People's Charter, it is necessary that the friends of that mea sure should fJrthwith farm themselves into an asso ciation for that purpose ; and that this meeting hereby call., especially upon the working classes, to adopt the course here directed, as the one most essential to their moral, social, and political elevation." He thought they ought to pursue their own course with out running counter to that which was pursued by others. He thought that an association which pro posed to give the franchise to four millions of persons deserved the support of all advocates fur an extension of the franchise..—(Hear, hear.) Such was the ob ject of the National Reform A-sociation. Was he then to oppose such an association ? It was this unwise policy on the part of themselves that enabled the Legislature to cheat them out of their rights. Unaided and unsupported they could not carry the Charter. Mr. Clarke then protested against some strong expressions used by Mr. Harney, as to the manner in which the opponents of revolution ought to be treated by the democrats when the latter had the power in their hands, and said that the Republic of France never stood higher in his estimation or in that of the world, than when it decreed the abolition of the punishment of death for political offences. Mr. STALLWOOD seconded the resolution, and after a brief explanation from Mr. Kydd and Mr. Harney in reference to observations made by Mr. Clarke, Mr. BRONTERRE O'llaiasT addressed the meeting in an able speecb, in the course of which he said that, however they might differ upon minor points, they were all agreed in this, that every male adult ought to have a voice in the making of the laws of this country. He would only exclude the man that would exclude bim.—(A laugh.) He protested against the key with which Mr. Cobden proposed to open the doors of Parliament, for it could not be pur chased by the poor working men in this country, or by the great body of the people of Ireland. Other speakers having addressed the meeting, the resolution was adopted, and thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 14.—The Sidon steam-frigate has hauled into the stream, trimmed for trial at th e measured mile in Stokes' Bay, which will take place to-morrow wind and weather p e r m itti ng . M uc h in terest is fel t in the vessel's performance by the service. Mr. Goold, son of Commander Goold, R.N., late of her Majesty's ship Victory, Mr. Mosberry, son of the officer of that name just superannuated from this dock yard ; and Mr. Crozier, of Lymington, are appointed "extra" clerks in thi s d oc ky ar d on probation. They will not be established unless qualified at the expira tion of twelve months. The Termagant steam-frigate will make another trial at the measured mile on Wednesday, when it is expected a new screw and a little difference of stowage will improve her speed. We are requested to remind the inhabitants of this port of the necessities of the poor at this inclement season. The Gladiator steam-frigate will convey the next mail to the coast of Africa. The Raleigh, 50, Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., is expected up from the Brazils on a change of wind, as are several other vessels whose terms have expired and reliefs been sent out. The following ships have served the usual period of commission : The Albatross, 12, Commander Farquhar, on the E tat I..dia station. The Bulldog steam-sloop, Commander Key, on the Mediterranean station. The Columbine, 12, Commander J. C. D. Hay, on the China station. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown, on the Cape of Good Hope station. The Griffin brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Thurburn, on the Brazil station. The Herald, 22, Captain Kelley , on the Pacific station. The Rileigb, 50, Captain Charles Hope, on tle Brazil station. The Rittlesnake, Clptain Stanley, on the New Zealand station.

Her Mijesty's frigate Constance, 50, was warped to the jetty on Wednesday, and will be taken into dock to be examineo. Preparations are making here for placing 500 tons of coals on board the steam-frigate Terrible, Captain Elope, on her arrival from Portsmouth, for Lisbon. DOCKYARD. The new system of separate payments to the arti sans and labourers commenced to-day at the iron shed, in the presence of Sir John Louis, Admiral- Superintendent, and the principal officers of the yard. All the men, except a portion of the ropemakers and smiths, were paid in twenty minutes—viz., between five minutes to twelve o'clock, and fifteen minutes after that hour. Upwards of sixty artisan 9, of different brancbep, were shut out of the yard on Thursday morning for being too late. The bell commences at half-past seven and ceases at twenty minutes to eight, when the gates are closed. _ _ Eighteen boys, ordered to be entered as ship wrights' apprentices, were examined by the school master on Monday. On Tuesday an Admiralty order was received to reduce the usual number of eighteen to ten. It is stated that for the next fourteen years two boys are to be entered annually as ropemakers' ap prentices. Six men will shortly be discharged from the Kin terbury Powder-works. Spoken off the port on Thursday the new merchant ship Gustave 1., Captain T. Beckman, of and from Antwerp the Ist of January, bound out.

Woo'Amu JAN. 14.—Paymaster and Purser— George 11. L. Wise (1849) to the Hermes steam sloop, at Woolwich. John Yenning to be Master-Smith at Sheerness Dockyard; John Yenning to be Foreman of Smiths at Pembroke Dockyard ; and Richard Forbes to be Foreman of Smiths at Sheerness Dockyard. Considerable anxiety has existed as to who would be appointed successor to the late Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier in command (f the East Indian and China station, and several officers have been named with the exception of the one who will obtain the command. I t is now all but certain that their Lordships have selected Rear-Admiral Charles John Austen, C. 8., for this important command ; and from the previous services of this gallant officer there is no doubt he will fulfil the duties of the command with honour to the country and credit to himself. Rear- Admiral C. J. Austen was promoted to that rank on the same day as the late Roar-Admiral Sir Francis Collier—the 9th of November, 1846—having been previously a Captai n o f the 10th of May, 1810. The Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C. 8., when she started from Greenhithe on S aturday morning last, towed by the African steam-vessel, made such pro gress as to be soon out of sight of the Investigator, and brought up in the Nob channel in the afternoon. The Enterprise proceeded on her voyage at nine o'clock A.M. on Sunday, and was towed through the Downs by the African steam-vessel, which cast her off at 4 30 P.M. The Investigator cast off the Monkey and proceeded under canvas, when she t rounded the North Foreland and passed the Down li . five P.M., the crews of both vessels being in e.xocevresennatt spirits. Mr. Stuart, the Government pilyt,wh Deal, and has round with the Enterprise, landed . at nt of Deal had returned to Woolwich.

The Hermes steam-sloop, Commander Fishbourre, will be complete and ready f.)r sea by the 31st inst. The Niger steam-sloop is not expected to be ready to proceed to Devonport until about the 6th February. Twenty-five more of the operatives in the factory department were discharged on Saturday night last, and twenty-five more have received notice that their services will be dispensed with after Saturday next. STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH steam AUSTRALIA. T communication with ou r 4 a u: i i : n in c t o er lo e r s , t ie a s nd h e a x s te o n p t ene co d n a e_ d b i a sc lf uss t i b o e n ofre m globe has to b e c i rcumnavigated, and the question is what el d eo i an r v e , s ii c nd t ge i o r n Ea t ni og t n h l sa i this du c gs o gh u oe r su s t leedd sail s b h y o u et a l h d : t i on t r a ci k us e ai — ri l west.w ar h e e t h n ecr Ins l u s d h e i dp thes, first, the actuJl distance b e t ween the s y everal depend encies of th e B r i t i sh empire; secondly, the character it,hraeabi project of of the countries to be traversed or connected by the various routes ; and thirdly, the general capabilities of steam-ships as hitherto ascertained. The eastern route to Australia may either follow the old track round the Cape of Good flops or the new passage by the Mediterranean and Red Seas ; the western strikes right across the Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans through the Isthmus of Panama. Thus the competing routes to Sydney may be respectively described as via Panama, vi a th e C ape, or via Suez and Singapore, and the adv an t ages of each will b e found plainly stated in a letter which we publish this morning. The distance from London to Sydney by the first of the routes above mentioned is 12,902 miles, by the second 12,870 miles, and by the third either 11,710 or 13,288 miles, according as the eastern or western pas sage is taken from Port Essington round the coast of Australia. Cceteris paribus, the shortest of these lines would of course be the most eligible, but in point of fact there are so many considerations which take precedence of simple mileage that the distances max be almost reckoned as equal. The next question tle au arising is, that of the degrees of practicability wilich the routes may be severally found to possess, fc.sr seas must not be considered merely as so many leagues of water when they have to be traversed by steam-ships. The powers of a steamer depend upon her capacities for carrying fuel—capacities of course very limited, for in proportion to the tonnage and stowage of the vessel must be the power of her engines, and the daily consumption of coal. Speaking in round "numbers, we may say, perhaps, that 3,000 miles is as long a stage as a paddle-wheel steamer can be expected to accomplish with certainty and regularity, until some substitute has been discovered for the coal-fuel now in use ; and although screw -steamers can be more eco nomically worked, yet what is saved in consumption, is lost in speed. In a line of steam communication, therefore, it is necessary to have coaling-harbours at intervals of not less, say, than 3,000 miles. Our ships make the run of the Atlantic (2,6C0 miles) readily enough ; but this may be taken as nearly the maximum performance on which it is quite safe to calculate. Now, the Panama route to Australia is divided into two distinct parts—that across the Atlantic from London to Chagres, and that across the Pacific from Panama to Sydney. The former of these is already accomplished by our West Indian steamers, but the latter has never yet been tried, and when we come to examine its practi cability we find serious obstacles of the character we hare been describing. The whole distance from Sydney to Panama is not less than 7,800 miles, and though this is broken by the Gallapagos islands off the American coast, by Tahiti in mid voyage, and by New Zealand at the other end, yet the second of these stages is nearly 3,600 miles long—a distance which would, to say the least, throw great uncer tainty on the voyage. Again, when we turn to the third point of consideration—the countries to be con nected by the line, we find no conspicuous advan tages promised by the Pacific route. Up to the Isthmus of Panama, it is true, the proposed line might produce the most desirable effect of improving our communication with the West Indies, and of in troducing a new and splendid class of steamers upon a field where our carrying traffic is likely to be stoutly contested ; but after the isthmus has been passed these advantages abruptly terminate, for there neither is nor is likely to be any commercial inter course between Australia and the western coast of America; so that Sydney would, by this line, be simply connected with London, and nothing more. The same remarks will apply in some degree to the route by the Cape of Good ,llope, which is both circuitous and unproductive, and even from the Mau ritius to Swan River is a dead run of 3,400 miles. Supposing, however, what is not improbable, that these difficulties of steaming may be hereafter surmounted by the advance of science, yet there will still remain the objections derivable from the unprofitable cha racter of the connexions into which Australia would thus be drawn. Tue natural re'ations of these colo nies are villib,., India and the Archipelago, and it is this consideratietn which gives the chief superiority to the route by Suez4ind Singapore, for this will con nect Sydney not only with London, but with Bata via, C,lombo, B .mbay, and Alen. It was with a view to this natural intercourse between India and Australia that tl:e survey of the Torres Straits has been prosecuted with so much zeal. Our settle ments in this enoriroui tract of territory lie almost wholly on its southern coast, so that the circumnavi gation of Australia itself forms no inconsiderable portion of the whole enterprise. I n po i nt of fact, our steam communi c ation by this route has actually advanced to a point within about 2,000 miles of Australia, Port Essington being only 1,600 miles' run from Batavia', and B itavia being only 480 from Singapore. Taking Aden, however, as the starting-point, there are 1,0 fewer than five routes by which Australia could thence be reached by steam, and of these the best, in our opinion, is that via Ceylon, Singapore, Port Essington, and Torres Straits. Sydney would thus be brought within about 11,700 miles of London—a distance only ta ice that between London and Bombay ; whereas, according to the present arrangements Australia may be prac tically considered at least four times as far off as India. A proportionate result would be obtained if A lelaide or Port Philip were made the point of com munication, in which case the western passage might be taken from Port Essington ; and we way convey perhaps a good idea of the immense circuit of this island-continent by stating that the distance between the Swan River settlement on its western, and Sydney on its south-eastern cast, is only 300 miles less than the distance between London and Halifax. Whichever point, however, may be taken, we have no hesitation in concluding that the com mercial relations induced cr con firmed by the route should determine its selection, for the difference of a few hundred miles cannot be weighed against the advantages which might be gained or lost by a judicious or injudicious connexion. We may here observe too, that while the Panama route is directed to Sydney and the eastern coast exclusively, that by the Archipel ago , o ff ers th e facility of diverging lines from B stavia, which is about equidistant both from Swan River and Port Essington. Beyond doubt, it is highly desiraMe that our communication with the West Indies and the Gulf of Mexico should be placed on en improved footing before a more spirited competitor appears on the field, but this object is surely important enough to be pro moted on its own grounds, without being discussedill as a suh,i , liary consideration in the questionol route to Australia, which should be but by by the fair requirements of the colony itself,,ea.rly nearly and the interests of other dependencies more and naturally connected a ith it than our settlements in the Caribbean Sep.—Times MERTHYR. ATTEMPTED MURDER.— Lite on Wednesday night, a diabolical attempt at murder was made at Aberdarr. It eppeers that, for sem , time pest, the greater number of the sea•ccal men, a'.
