THE PADDLE-WHEELS.—The Rattler, sc re w- p ropelled steam sloop, Commander Smith, and the Alect o, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Lieut. Commander Hoseason, have left Wool wich, on an experimental trip. The Admiralty have or dered them to cruise in the North Sea, and not t o until they have had suffic ient opportunity of establishing rlrn their comparative superior i ty in . point of speed and other qualities. Their Lordships on this as well as on other recent occasions granted permission ~,to any naval o ffi cer who was desirous of witnessing the trials to be accommodated on board one or other of the sloops. The vessels are of equal tonnage and horse power, and are commanded byexperienced officers, but we still think it is hard l y fair to the principle of the screw propeller to risk its character in such an adapted form as that of the Rattler. In rough . weather, the Alecto's paddle-wheels must be of good service in keeping her comaratively steady, while the Rattler will n e c essaril y roll, an t in some degree paralyse the efforts of the screw, and reduce her speed through the water. Under all circum stances, however, the Admiralty deserve the greatest credit in Instituting these trials.

The House of Lords did not sit last night. The House of Commons met at Twelve. The I,lailway Clauses Consolidation Bill was read a third time ,and passed. The Land a auses Consolidation Bill was read a third time and passed. The report on the litzilway Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Bill was brougi,! - .up. The third reading of the Land Clauses Consolid,;tion (Scotland) Bill was postponed. In the course of the discussion on these Bills, Mr. HAWES protested against these morning sittings so early in the session. Colonel SIBTHORP also expressed his objections to them. Bills of the greatest importance were hurrieJ through at these sittings, when only 15 or 20 Mem bers were present. Mr. LABOUCHERE admitting that, in the case of these Bills, the Government had only a choice of evils, thought that on the whole it was inexpedient for the House to sit at that early hour. In the long run, they would not get through more business than if they sat at the usual hour in the evening. Lord G. SOMERSET admitted the inconvenience of morning sittings, and regretted the necessity that had existed for having recourse to such a procedure. The House adjourned at half-past One o'clock, and re-assembled at Five. Mr. PAKINGTON brought up the report of the Dart mouth Election Committee, declaring JOSEPH SOMES, Esq., duly elected. After the transaction of private business, Mr. C. B ULLER moved that the petition of the mer chants of London, on the subject of New Zealand, be printed, which was agreed to. In answer to Sir R. INGLIs, it was stated by Sir R. PEEL, that the intention of the Government was to proceed by way of Bill in proposing the increased grant to Maynooth and the grant for the establish ment of academical institutions in Ireland, as he thought great advantage would be derived from doing away with the annual discussion on this subject. The Right Hon. Baronet further stated that he had no objection to make the Regium Donum, and the grant to the Presbyterian Church of Scotland also per manent. Mr. ALDAM, in reference to President Tyr.Ea's re cent Message, put a question on the subject of the state of the liberated negroes in the West Indies. Sir It. PEEL said they were perfectly free there. There was no apprenticeship—they were not com pelled to labour, and were in the state of free men— and if the United States chose to appoint a Commis sion to investigate their state, every facility should be afforded to that Commission for ascertaining the facts of the case. With respect to the allegation that both the subjects of the United States and those of this country were concerned in carrying on the slave trade, that was a subject for serious consideration. He was not prepared to deny the fact. He hoped that if the law did not reach this application of Bri tish capital, the Legislature would be prepared to apply a remedy. In answer to a question by Sir D. NORIIEYS, Sir J. GRAHAM said it was not the intention of the Government to propose any measure with regard to Medical Charities in Ireland, nor to propose any measure with regard to the railway system in Ireland. In answer to a series of questions from Mr. B. DENNISON and Lord HOWICK, Sir G. CLynnt denied that any negotiations had taken place between the Board of Trade and the promoters of the Direct Northern and the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Comiznies, or with the Newark and Sleaford Railway Compat,;', or that the Board had given any intimation to to tht,::e companies to form a coalition ; and that no facilities given to those companies to make communications to the Board, which were not equally given to the London and York Direct Railway Company. In answer to Mr. SOMES, Lord INGESTRE stated that he did not intend to bring the subject of Captain WARNER'S invention again before the House; but that Capt%in WARNER would abide by his offer to destroy a line- of battle ship at five miles distance at his own expense. Sir C. Yuma hoped that the Right Hon. Baronet would permit Captain WARNER to try this experi ment, at his own expense, behind the Goodwin Sands. Sir R. PEEL had no doubt but that, if Captain WARNER did intend to make the experiment at his own expense, he would get permission to do so from the Board of Ordnance. Lord JOCELYN, in answer to Mr. HORSMAN, said that a communication had been received from India stating that the Governor-General in Council had taken into consideration the recommendation of the Home Government, to devise measures for placing Penang sugar on the same footing as Indian sugar, and had referred the subject to the Governor of Penang. The House then went into Committee on the Customs' Act. The various articles in the tariff were gone through, and, after same discussion, were agreed to. The House then went into Committee of Supply ; and, after voting the Ordnance Estimates, adjourned at Five Minutes past One o'clock. What is Sir ROBERT PEEL about? Does he under stand the position which he is compelled to maintain? Is his occupation of it his own voluntary, spontaneous act, or the effect of circumstances which he cannot con trol? Does he retain office as the head of a party, or of a principle? If of a paity, what is it? Between him self and the Whigs there is nothing in common, but the reciprocity of mutual repudiation. True,—he talks of his intimate relations with the Conservative community of the empire, and the identity of his views with those of the Conservative section of the House. But the com munity in question disavow his political doctrines, as being too liberal for the scope of their own opinions and wishes. The section reject him, as having compromised their interests, and falsified his pledges to them, by the line of policy which he has adopted since he last resumed the reins of power. Neither the Duke of BUCKING HAM, nor his Grace of RICHMOND, nor even Mr. W. MILES, hesitates to remind him that the landed interest, which each of them conceives himself to represent, placed the Premier in his present position; or forbears to hint that they can, at any time, displace him when they shall be so minded. It is not with their party, therefore, that he is identified. What, then, is the principle of which he is the exponent? Of the pro tective monopoly-class-legislation system? Why, it is very true that ho has avowed himself over and over again the champion of the corn-law monopoly ; and, until lately, of agricultural protection. It is also cer tain that, by an unfortunate inconsistency, he has greatly marred the effect of his relief to commercial enterprise and trading industry, and to the pocket of the home consumer, by an ill judged positive increase of protec tion to our West Indian colonist, although it is accom panied by a reduction of the duty on foreign sugar, the growth of free labour. But, on the other hand, the author of the tariff of 1842-43, and of the financial pro ject of February, 1845—the one largely reducing the rate of duties on articles of extensive consumption (corn always excepted)—the other striking off; altogether, at one erasure, the duties on 430 articles, and contemplating the virtual extinction of all export duties whatever ; this man cannot be said to embody the principle of pro tection. Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, is a ministerial ano maly, an official nondescript. His influence and his suc cess aro not the less palpable facts. The strength which supports him is in the inverse ratio of the basis on which it apparently reposes. It consistency in a public man be strength, the Premier's public position should be weak. If inconsistency be a principle of weakness, it works— in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S case—to the consolidation of his strength. Many previous Ministers have been upheld by the superior force of their own party to that of the party opposed to them. None before him, to the best of our knowledge, hare made their fortune by securing the opposition both of their followers and their adver saries. Let it not be said that if they maintained their authority in virtue of party support, Sir ROBERT holds his in despite of it ; for no man was ever more indebted than he is to the assistance of party. It is his habit practically to recognise this fact. He throws him self, as the occasion may demand, and without hesitation, out of his own ranks and into those of the opposition ; or he defies opposition, whilst making a sentimental appeal to the sympathies of the treasury benches. The attrac tion which, one should suppose, would draw him out of his Premier's seat, is counteracted by an equivalent force operating to retain him in it. Like the fabled coffin of Mahomet, he is equipoised between two mag netic principles. Whatever the shock of parties, or his own oscillations, the result always leaves him in un disturbed suspension between them. In this whimsical, undefinable, capricious interpolation between two extremes, there may be something very astonishing, veryartificial, very clever. We doubt whether it is very becoming in a statesman at the head of the councils of a great country. Is it a fair or a generous return for that confidence which a great people has shown itself disposed to place in him, notwithstanding its dissent from some of the more prominent measures adopted by his Government in past years, and its dis satisfaction with many details connected with his present Administration? Why should he be any longer unjust to his own reputation, and the demands of his own sta tion, by declining to adopt some more prominent and decided rule of action? Why hesitate between a broad an d ;,;:flligible vindication of the sound principles of free trade, an halting, unsatisfactory compromise with the obsolete errors .7.'d importunate demands of monopoly-protections and class se:.°.:hness? Surely the Premier is now strong enough to feel his 0;:'!1- ground;, to use his own feet; to throw away his " sliding-zca,e c ;, etches; to abandon his shifty supplements, his ricketty exp s .Jients. Does he imagine that, in that case, he will n ot find ,:upporters enough in the House? Let him throw himself upoii the support of those without ! Such a pro ceeding would supply a summary means of realising that victory over interested opposition, which the very fact of daring thus honestly and openly to encounter it would assure to him beforehand. It is clear, then, that he can gain nothing further by remaining within his present entrenchments. How much he may lose, he may have inferred from the spirited but serious de monstration of the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury, of a mutiny in the camp behind him, which already reckons able heads, stout hearts, and prompt hands, araol:g its leaders. How much he has yet to gain by heading, in stead of following, the movement of liberal principles, and of a truly patriotic policy, to which the whole em pire is looking forward with the most intense solicitude, he can only surmise, by imagining himself already what, in that case, he would inevitably become—the most po pular Minister who had ever directed the affairs of the noblest empire which a statesman can aspire to serve. The proceedings of the meeting convened at Exeter hall, on Tuesday last, for the purpose of petitioning against the anticipated endowm2nt, and the enlarged grant proposed to be made to the Roman Catholic Col lege at Maynooth, afforded a melancholy exemplification of the pertinacious bigotry with which certain very worthy persons will persist in treating all questions that are connected with religious education. It is lament able to observe a gentleman of Mr. PLUMPTRE'S respect ability and goodness, lending himself to the sanction of such a one-sided and pharisaical demonstration of at tachment to the principles—not of the Established Church, but of Protestantism in general, and of hatred and denunciation of the Roman Catholic Church. Tlw llon. Member for Kent felt the invidious character of the position he had assumed, together with the chair of the meeting, and therefore repeatedly disclaimed all idea of harbouring any other sentiments but those of brotherly love, and hearty good-will for his Roman Catholic brethren of Ireland ; but the harsh things he had to say of the religion professed by them, and of the hopeless and eternally-doomed error of their faith, he was compelled to utter, because, forsooth, it was a question of "principle." In this view of the subject consists the whole fallacy of the impressions under which Mr. PLUMPTRE, and the whole Anti-Maynooth Synod of Exeter-hall labour, in treating the Maynooth grant. It is net a question of principle—it is a question of domestic policy. What are the facts ? A certain Church, or religious profession, is recognised by law as " the Established" Church of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is composed of three elements, England and Wales—Scotland and Ire land. The Established Church, with its doctrines and forms, is that of the great majority of the people in the first of these integers ; the doctrine, without the forms (Presbyterianism), is that of the second ; but the third repudiates both the doctrines and the forms of the other two, and stands inflexibly on its own more ancient traditions, and its own succession and stream of hierarchical ordination. Whatever be the aggregate numbers of those who dissent from the forms and ritual of the Established Church in England and Wales, and Scotland, there can be no doubt that its doctrine is that of the great majority of a population mustering at least fifteen millions of souls. But in Ire '-nd the doctrine, the forms, and the ritual of a perhaps t gr ,:ter majority of a population of between seven still eight minL.7ns' are those of its ancient church, the Church of Rome—no: the Protestant Established Church of England. If the AMOUR: or proportion of the majo rity determines the intensity of lie attachment in the one case, it must do so in the other. It fact that in all England and Wales and Scotland, six-sevenths-2 f the population are devoted to the cause of the Reformed or Protestant Church, under whatever denominations — if this be a proof of that genuine regard for one species of doctrine, the same sort of attachment on the part of somewhat more than six sevenths of the population of Ireland being with equal sincerity attached to the doctrine and communion of the Church of Rome, is to be as necessarily inferred. Now the highest and most sacred authority acknowledged by either Church, has declared that the Sabbath was made for men, not men for the Sabbath. Religion has been thus devised for the tenefit of man ; but man was not made fir the benefit of any particular form of religion. Would Mr. PLUMPTRE and the Rev. Mr. BAPTIST NOEL have six-sevenths of the Irish people surrender their hereditary faith, their honest convictions, too, to the authority and at the bidding of some proportion of their brethren of Great Britain? Surely this is too preposterous. Even the Honourable Member, and the Honourable and Reverend Chaplain to her MAJESTY, do not go the length of supporting any such preposterous pre tension. For what reason, then, arc the Irish people not to have the means granted by the Imperial Le gislature, for the careful and liberal education of those among them destined for the priesthood of the Church to which they belong, in the discipline and the doctrine of that religious profession in whose ele ments it will be their especial function to instruct the rising laity of Ireland ? What matters it, in this view of the subject, whether the election of a church or a creed which the Irish have made be right or wrong ? That is an affair between, the disciple of a faith, and the GREAT SEARCHER of all hearts. Do the brethren of Exeter Hall imagine that they can re verse this election by a string of cut-and-dried resolu tions? Do they hope to roll back the mighty tide of usage, prepossessions, associations, civil and religious, which for fourteen centuries has poured on through the same unaltered channels, without witnessing, as in other countries, the downfal of its ancient laud-marks—the undermining of its bases throughout the length and breadth of the land. On what plea the grant to i\lay nooth, in respect of the Roman Catholic community of Ireland, was to be opposed by those who support the grants in aid of our Universities, in respect of the Pro testant community of Great Britain, we never could de vise. Wiser heads than that of Mr. PLUMPTRE—judg snouts more dispassionate than that of the Ilon. and Rev. B. NOEL—have deeply considered, and solemnly recognised, not only the moral justice and equity, but the undoubted political expediency, of providing for and protecting in Ireland, a foundation fur the education of her native priests in the doctrines of her national church, in a native seminary. Mr. Pitt, and other en lightened statesmen, his contemporaries, readily per ceived the growing danger of leaving such a class of men to find at once a refuge, a home, instruction, and na tional attachments in a foreign country, instead of at home. It seems unnecessary to push the argument further to establish, in this instance, the powerful case of political necessity. But we cannot take leave of the Exeter Hall affair without acknowledging the amusement afforded to US by the Rev. Mr. BAPTIST NOEL'S repeated declara tions of the extreme reluctance with which he would have interfered at the meeting, or adopted any other course that would have had a tendency " to embarrass her Majesty's Ministers." Had there been any proba bility of such a result, he would, on no account, p ave taken a step in anywise calculated to throw difficulties in their way, &c., &c. For gentlemen who stand so 'stiffly on " principle," this is rather a blinking of " essentials," as they call them, to " cere monials." But we find a key to the inconsistency in the recollection—or in the matter that we recollect—the in sertion of this gentleman's name, the other day, in the list of chaplains, ordinary or extraordinary, to her MA • JESTY. Court chaplains may not fight First Lords of the Treasury. Again—we remark two notable instances of that " fair play and no favour" department in the august Synod, Which is always dear to Englishmen — elsewhere. Only two individuals attempted to address the meeting on the Liberal ride. The first bold intruder was removed —actually and bodily taken into custody, and removed by the policemen in attendance, on the motion of Sir C. EARDLEY SMITH, Bart., and with " the unanimous consent of this very fair and impartial meeting." Sir C. EARDLEY SMITH, and the policemen who acted on his sugges tion, we would think it extremely likely will hear again of this ebullition of enthusiasm. The other intruder, whom we suspect to be the somewhat notorious Captain ACKERLEY, was also violently ejected, speech un spoken, and by the police. Exeter Hall fanaticism may be incurable, but the Commissioners of Metropolitan Police will do well to instruct their rather officious con stables better in the rights of English subjects at open meetings—or meetings not professedly called by previous advertisement announced to be intended only for packed audiences, The intelligence from Zurich is to the 14th inst. The committee, seem ding to a letter from that place of the 13th, had already met several times, but it is said the members do not agree on the main points—a very likely circumstance. Four Radical members propose to draw up a paper for the expulsion of the Jesuits, and then those of St. Gall, Bale (city), and Zurich, are to draw up one inviting Lucerne to deliberata at once on the itl• structions to be given to its deputies for the ordinary Diet. The majority, it is said, propose to send to Lu cerne federal commissioners to convoke the Grand Conn. cil of that canton, and to transmit to it the invitation of the Diet, which is to declare itself. The labours of the committee were expected to terminate on the 14th. On the question of the Free Corps, the committee has pro posed the adoption of the two first paragraphs of the Vorort, with some modifications. its to the amnesty, oz_ agree on the propriety of sending an invitation to all t t h er e f c r a e n tn to L n tearCn'' of the i 22, political offenders to adopt it. A let states that several of the ' e persons who were sent to prison three onths ago on charges of rebellion, have been set at liberty. Madrid journals of the 12th have been received. The new Electoral Bill, an outline of which we gave yester day, appears in the Gazttle, but it does not appear to ex cite any interest, and will, of course, be passed. In the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of the Interior an nounced that it was the anxious wish of the Govern ment to calm the public mind relative to the Church lands, and a negotiation had been entered into with the POPE on the subj,ct, the object of which was to get the sa i;:_tion of his holiness to the sales already made, which wouitl increase the value of the property, and quiet the consciences of the purchasers. It was under stood that the session would be closed about the end of April. The Three per Cents. closed at 35-i at 00 days; the Five per Cents. at 261; the Coupons at 28-a; and the Debt without Interest at 8 at 60 days. A discussion has been carried on in the French Chamber of Deputies for some days on the motion for abolishing vote by ballot, which posesses cont:iiclerable intere,t, as the question is one applicable to all consti tutional governments. At the last sitting it assumed more than usual interest, from the remarks which it led to on the overthrow of the BOURDON dynasty, and from one of these brief, sententious, and cutting speeches which M. DuNN only can make. The Bill, as is usual in France, had been referred to a Select Committee, consisting of nine members ; of these, four had voted for the total abolition of secret voting, and the other five thought it ought to be retained, but only in certain in• stances. M. BERRYER, who was one of the Committee, said the members were unanimous in allowing that it was most awkward, when the Chamber had voted by assis and /eve (one party sitting and the other standing), and the vote appeared doubtful, it was necessary to have recourse to a secret vote, which too frequently had the effect of giving a broad contra. diction to the decision of the Secretaries. Another member said the ballot was an utter delusion—it no longer existed. Some of the journals had published lists of the PRITCHARD Deputies, and had announced that they would have theta placarded in the 4-1,060 com munes of France. The practice of secret voting had only one result—to favour a permanent system of calumny against all the Deputies who :served or sup • ported the Government, by furnishing a pretext for doubting of the sincerity of their opinions and of their courage. M. DE TRACY declared himself a convert to the ballot. At one time, before he had the honour of being a juryman, he had thought that " nothing was more desirable for an honourable man than to give his verdict openly, but experience bad en lightened him, for when he felt the anxieties and doubts —the moral torture, in fact—incidental to the delibe rations of the jury, whenever the vote was public, he felt I ded h . fo L re et th tl e ie C la l s i t am n be e r ve r i e u m ti 7 n. ber E t v h e e ry ad o d n r e ess wa o s f it a happiness that by a secret vote such tortures could b t the e a v 2 o 2 i aware what an influence it had exercised on the fate of France, yet it was notorious that amongst those who had then voted there were some who did not desire to acknowledge that they' had done so. It might be re .iscabe r might w membered that at that period it w as proposed to per petuate the event by a medal. But th e me d a l could not be distributed, for 221 Deputies c ou ld Lot b e found w s l l h il)g t d o o to ° avowreceive what t pleased—it w ou ld not b e able to change ote(They_ la s.edlia N . o t t i e n d,. )but T theyh eC h did m not h v human nature.

The actuating motive of the 221 had been fidelity to the Crown and attachment to the institutions of the country. They only wished to lay at the foot of the Throne a constitutional warning, which it was their right and duty to give. When the Crown, abused and worked on by evil counsels, allowed itself to be persuaded to guard at the head of public affairs a Government hostile to the opinions of the majority :of the Chambers, the duty of the Chamber was to respectfully offer its advice. Could the do cu ment containing such advice be t erme d an a dd ress t o subvert lare d to things ciuern existing? Certainly no t. T a t th a t per i o d d e - M. clared that the C rown h a d a r i g ht e to dissolve the Chamber. The Crown used that right; and what caused the overthrow of the dynasty then reigning was that, after that solemn appeal to the country, after a disso lution which was to give a contradiction to the majority of 2 4 1, or confirm the advice which they had constitutionally given, another Chamber came which held p recisel y their opinion. The Government dared not me e t the new Chamber, and the ordonnances were issued. Yes, the ordonnances were then published by the suggestions of detestable ad visers—of a certain Jesuit congregation which then existed; and which would again do the same at present, if they were only permitted to act as they pleased.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear.') The Government declared war with the people, and from it resulted the revolution of 1830. The address of the 221 was one of those friendly warnings which were never listened to by Princes in times of danger. The Chamber gave useful advice, which was neglected, and the people replied by a revolution. But those who gave the best advice were the least listened to.—(Cheers. )" This closed the general discussion on the principles of the Bill, and the Chamber rose at six o'clock. On the same day the Minister of Public Works gave an outline of the proposed conditions of the two Railway Bills from Paris to L)ons, and from Lyons to Avignon. It autho rises the Minister to adjudicate the line by public com petition. He is to declare in a sealed paper the maximum of the duration of the lease that can be granted. This period in no ease to exceed forty-five years for the part from Paris to Lyons, and fifty years for that from Lyons to Avignon. No person is to be allowed to compete for the line unless previously approved of by the Minister, and unless there have been deposited in the Caisse des D6pOts et Consignations twenty-five millions for the part from Paris to Lyons, and eight millions for that from Lyons to Avignon. The same Bill also opens to the Minister of Public Works a credit of five millions fur the works on the line from Dijon to Chalon. The station at Paris is near the situ of the Bastile, and the line proceeds along the right bank of the Seine to Melun, thence passing th roug h t h e f ores t o f Fontainbleau, along the valley of Ch angy an d Lo i ng , a l on g the left bank a; far as Aisy, a di s t ance o f 14 7 m il es . It thence proceed s by Dijon, Ch a l ons, and Macon to Lyons, the distance from Paris to that town being about 320 miles. Time cost is estimated at 7,210,000 f. ; the revenue is calculated at 1,030,000 f. ; the net proceeds 566,000 f., or about 7 par cent. The line from Lyons to Avignon proceeds along the left bank of the Rhone, by Vienna, Monteli mart, and Mornas, and the cost is estimated at 3,200,000 f. and the revenue at 225,0001'., or better than 61 per cent, The Univers publishes the following letter from the Archbishop of LYONS to Ile Minister of Justice and Public Worship, but it is evidently directed against M. DUPIN:— " use o f Ile , If I had co mPosed a nutnuel of legal , co mmercial, or ad --• - nistrative rights f or the s -i e urs lea Procureurs - Generaux and Procureurs-iu-Itoi, and for the i nstruction Pf ad ministrative young advocates, and had in this elementary work, bearing the impress of my ignorance in jurisprudence, attacked the rights of the nation, of the K or of the Chambers, placed Privilege above cornmell iaiv, and confounded ordonnauces with servitude, and if this book had the magistrates and condemned by them, my - duty would have been to rec ogn ise the justice of the sen bweieti been laws, and liber tenee, and adept in silent respect the double brand of ridi cule and of the tribunals.

HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER SCOURGE.—This vessel made an experimental trip down the River on Tuesday, as far as sea reach, for the purpose of testing her machinery. She was designed by the Surveyor of the Navy, an d b u il t at Portsmouth. The Scourge is 190 feet long, 36 feet beam, and 21 feet deep; tonnage 1,120. She is fitted with a pair of Maudsley and Field's double cylinder engines, of the collective power of 420 horses; there are four cylinders, each 54 inches diameter, and 6 feet length of stroke; the proper number of revolutions, when she is at her load draft (13 feet 6 inches) is 17 per minute; but having none of her guns or stores on board, the drart was only 11 feet 3 inches mean (10 feet 2 inches forward and 12 feet 4 inches aft), and the wheels having too little immersion, the revoldtions were 23, and , occasionally 24, per minute. At this speed, the pistons were travelling at the rate of 288 feet per minute, and the boilers, which are of the tubular description, supplied more steam than was required, the throttle-valves being full open during the whole run. Her speed was tried in Long-reach at the immured distance and found to he 11 knots or 12 ' % miles per hour.

For the sake of the consumer it might be wished that it were otherwise. Owing to the influx of German labourers into Holland, the Dutch Minister of the Interior has decided upon employing natives only upon the public works, unless in cases of special recommendation by the englneeri, on account of talent or other qualifications. It would appear by this that employment is scarce in Ger many, and indeed, from circumstances mentioned under this head a few days since, we Mieyg such to be the ease.

Th e Ohio ship-of-the-line sailed from New York on a three years' cruise, with a crew of 1,000 men, only 182 of whoni were Americans ; and the Delaware went to sea with a less number in proportion. FISHING.—The annual herring fishing at Ballantrae, which takes place regularly about the end of February or beginning of March, has just closed, having been more than ordinarily productive. This fishing usually lasts four days, but this year it extended over three weeks, a cir cumstance unparalleled " in the memory of the oldest in habitant." 'There was a great assemblage of boats from all quarters, and operations were carried on both day and night. So immense was the quantity of the herrings that, during three or four days, more were taken than were got last year in six weeks in all Lechfine. They were taken, both fresh and cured, to every part of this country, and large numbers were sent to Ireland. Several vessels belonging to Greenock were freighted by Messrs. Gallocher and Kelly, to take the produce of the fishing to Greenock, from whence large quantities found their way to London. In spite of the largeness of the take, pricee were well supported, and those sold in England yielded a hand some profit.-44yr Observer. Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a fire broke out in the front-room second-floor at the residence of Lady North, No. 24, Manchester square. The flames were in the first instance observed by two men who were passing the house, one of whom ran for the engine, while the other knocked at the door and alarmed the inmates. The con flagratioa was foi tunately subdued without any further mis chief being done than the destruction of a bedstead, bed ding, and other articles of furniture which were in the room above alluded to. The origin of the fire has not been as certained. MPTitorourmi IMPROVEMENTS.—The new line of road from Oxford-street to Holborn is named by the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests Oxford-street " East." POOR-RATES EXCUSING.—Many overseers have a great fault by being tardy in mewling poor persons from poor rates. sooper than early into the excused column in the rate.book those unable to pay, they will press upon them by summons and otherwise. Independently of the wrong and hardship of this, the result is frequently of much consequence to the rate-payers by a family becoming chargeable ; fre quently removal to settlement follows, and not unfrequently, too, a sessions' appeal trial, and all this for want of excusing poor persons who really ought to be exempted, for a time at least, if not altogether. How unwise, unfeeling, and unjust. Colonel Si..bthorp, XV., and W. R. Collett, Esq., have each forwarded a donation of 501. in aid of the fund raising is Lincoln for the relief of the poor in that city.
