This Company, whose rights extend over an area of 132 acres of itch mineral land held by sub-lease, for the remainder of the term, granted by the Baroness de Sternberg to Richard Barker end others, for a period of twenty-one years, from Ist June, 1850, at a Royalty Rent of Is. 6d. for every 34 cwt. of ore raised, and 1001. per annum certain rent which merges in the Royalty, is formed for the pu - pose of worklng Hematite Iron Ore in the Fezington Parks Minin; dis trict, situate within six miles of the Port of Wh.tehaven. The ore raised in the immediate district of this mine is proved to be unusually rich, averaging from 60 to 70 per cent. of 1-on. Three different provings have been made at a considerable outlay, and a rich bed of ore has been bored through at a depth of 25 fa corresponeing with that obtained from the mines now work ing on the boundary lines. The thickness of the beds of ore varies from 12 ft., 22 ft., 30 ft., to 50 It. This Royalty being so well proved, and of such an extensive area, abound'ng in mineral wealth, affords the best guarantee for safe investments and large profits. Prospectuses, with printed forms of application for shares, may be obtained of the Broker and at the Offices of the Company, where the Engineer's Reports, maps, and specimens of the ore may be seen. HENRY HUNTER, Secretary. ABSTRACT OF REPORTS. "Therefore, judging of sr , ace appearance, and taking int, ac count the apparently regelar stratification of the rocks, together with existing proofs by horn-holes Pnd di:tts, I have no hesitation in stating, that the prospects of lucrative mininl are much supe.ior to any iron ore royalty I am acquainted w:th. "JOSEPH RorsoN, Willitehaven." " Taking every circumstance connected with this Royeity into consideration, we have come to the conclusion that there is every probabl'ity of a highly remunerative yield extending over a long period. " Josupn Ronson, Railway Engineer and Practical Geologist. Jour; PERCIVAL, Inspeefng Viewer for General. Wyndhain:" "The Old M'nes have been working many years, and must have produced an immense quantity of ore, and I am not aware of an Instance of one of them having been worked out or emhaus:cd since their commencement, nor do I hear that there is any prospect o; their present exhaustion. In prosecuting their work'ns they P re led on to new discoveries ; they are all working to good profit ; the most productlye yields about 1,000 tons per week, and the party owning it is supposed, from the beat of data as to selling price, work ing cha-ges, and leading, to clear eight or ten thousand pounds per annum (I have heard it stated twelve to fifteen thousand pounds). He has made a fresh discovery recently, and sunk a new pit. The depths of the shafts rarely exceed forty fathoms; their working establishments arc smt 11, no heavy engines, the water being ; thera is a good demand for the ore, and a good price obtained, from 10s. to 12s. per tan.

We may remark, in passing, that • . the town of Melbourne, which in 1851 contained 23,000 Ia- .t .+ inhabitanto, had increased by the end of 1852 to a popu• , lation of 80,000, an amount probably much kept down r by the impossibility of finding house accommodation, and that the population of Geelong had increased in the same period from 8,000 to 20,000. Of the prospects of railways some estimate may be formed from the fact, that the carriage of supplies to Bendigo and Mount Alexander last year was at the rate of 11. per ton per mile, and it is estimated that the cost of the carriage of supplies during the last Australian winter from Mel bourne to these two places would have defrayed the ex pense of constructing a railway. The fluctuation of prices has been as extraordinary as the increase in wealth and population, Hay is dearer, weight for weight, than the best quality of flour, and oats are twice the price of the best imported oatmeal. Cabbages are is. 6d. a-piece ; pears, lettuces, and turnips are 6s. a-dozen ; potatoes, 245. a hundredwei g ht ; ducks, 12s. a-pair ; geese and turkeys, 14s. each; and this in a country which until the discovery of gold had some claims to be considered the cheapest in the world. The account of this sudden and incredible prosperity suggests a consideration as to the wants of the colony, which parents and guardians in England would do well to bear in mind. What the country wants is neither cul tivated intelligence nor in-door enz i ployes ; the effort of the colony is, and for many years will be, to bring the amount of its fixed capital into some preportion with the aggregate of its treasures. The inhabitants of Melbourne, infinitely the richest town of its size in the world, are worse lodged and cared for, is all matters of physi al comfort, than the denizens of the ,poorest and most decayed elths of S ntin or Germany. R( ads they have none, and the tracks which lead to the spots where nature squanders her treasure with so lavish a bard are difficult in summer, and barely passable in winter. What, they want is masons and carpenters to build them houses, and " navvies" to make them docks jSid railroads. Till these wants are supplied it is vain for youne , men of talent mid knowledge to seek their fortunes in a land want ing nothing which they have to give, and appreciating far more highly the coarsest manual than the finest intellec tual labour. This is the tendency of every new country, Physical material wants must be first supplied, and only when men have gained leisure from the struggle will they turn their minds to the cultivation of the intellect or the taste. What cruelty can be greater, what inisconcep.: tion more lamentable, what betrayal of a trust more re prehensible, than to send a boy from school or a student from college, with a few pounds in his pocket, to seek his fortune in a land which wants nothing that he can contribute, and will contribute nothing that he wants To send such a person to Australia is, in fact, to sentence him to work on the roads at ten shillings a-day—good pay, certainly, but a niiserable avocation for one brought up with the feelings and aspirations of a gentle in an. [PRICE SD. FLOGGING IN THE NAVY. ( From the Times.) Mr. i Hume has been true to his ancient spirit of in quiry in obtaining a return "of the number of person flogkeet in.' the navy since 1847 ; distinguishin g eac h year', , "spicifying the name of the ship, the offence, the sentence, and number of lashes inflicted, and stating the hi gli est , and lowest number given in each class." This pape -is now before us ; .but, notwithstanding the cir cut ntiality of its title, and the evident desire of the honltnernber to get the most complete information on the subject, we do not think its contents would support any conclusion on the particular facts disclosed. So much obviously - depends upon the size of the vessel in commission, the number of her crew, and the length of time over which her punishment returns extend, that very inaccurate conclusions might be drawn• from the mere specifications given in. the report. A vessel with a crew of 150 men, and making a return of 40 lashes inflicted, might in reality be a worse example than an other returning 200 lashes from a crew of 800 or 1,000. Some consideration also should be exttnded to the temp tations contingent upon the particular station or sal'- vice on which - the vessel was employed, and to other points of the same - charaeter, so that a real coti trast between the several ships aflegit- could only be ea.- Whited after very careful compvt4ion. Nevertheless, i we may draw some, general inferences from Mr. Hume's return without much danger of error or injustice. In the year 1848 the total number' of puniShments in flicted in the Navy was 1,363 ; the total nuiriber of lashes was 40,545 ; the highest number ,at any single punish ment 48, and the lowest number 1. The next year shoWs a material decrease in these figures, the whole number of punishments in 1849 being 1,087, and the lashes 82,446. while the highest and lowest numbers stand at 48 and 2 respectively. In 1850 the improvement still4ontinues. The total number of punishments in that year was only 967 • the total number of lashes 27,291 ; 50 being the highest, and 2 the lowest number inflicted. In 1851 the total number of punishments sinks still further, to .84'2 l and the total number of lashes to 26,587 ; the highest and lowest numbers being 50 and 6. Finally, the WA return shows the greatest improvement of all, for tNO punishments dropped in 1852 to 578, and the lashes to 17,571; being considerably less than half of the total number reported four years previously for the year 1848. There can be no mistaking the general purport of figures like these ; and we can add even another illustra tion of the progress effected. A certain number of ves sels every year make a blank return, indicating that:no corporal punishments whatever have been inflicted in the ship. The number of ships thus distinguished we s —in 1848, 46 ; in 1849, 45 ; in 1850, 60 ; in 1851, only 43 ; but, in 1852, 78 ; the Victoria and Albert being always included in the honourable list, Of course it would be necessary to compare the total number of ships in commission during each of these periods before any accurate deductions could be framed, and the same re mark will apply also to the figures in the preceding paragraph, but it is not likely that the general result could be seriously affected. Flogging in the navy is clearly on the decline. We still observe instances of particular ships where the punishments inflicted appear to betoken a bad state of discipline or government, and perhaps of both ; but it would be invidious to institute comparisons without a complete detail of the circum stances affecting each particular case. We aro contented with discerning that this odious species of punishment is falling more and more into disuse, and that anything like a frequent resort to it is taken to reflect discredit, not only upon the whole ship's company, but upon the officers in command. :Even with the goods which other countries can con tribute Victoria has, as appears from the scale of prices, beenf but scantily supplied ; but there is a marked dis tinction between those things which she can procure from abroad &ud those which she must, from necessity, pro duce for herself. Till this inequality is reduced every body's mind will be absorbed in mere material progress. The owner of thousands who cannot get a. house, until he is released from the necessity of living in a tent or a bark hut, will scarcely think of a tutor fir his sons or a governess for his daughters. We feel it right to couple the account of thil unprecedented prosperity with this warning, because we are well aware that every ship carries out to Australia its contribution of young men and women destined to poverty and wretchedness from a neglect of these very obvious considerations. It is high time, indeed, that such reforms were ef fected. We have arrived at a period when the practice of impressment can no longer be relied upon to provide our men-of-war with crews in cases of emergency, and the scheme recently promulgated for attracting seamen to the service of the fleet is a proof of the solicitude with which the question has been regarded. It is plain, how ever, that the most considerate provisions in respect of treatment and pension might be inoperative against the repulsive influence of a system admitting the exercise of personal tyranny. Beyond doubt, the liabilities of sea men in this particular have been greatly exaggerated. So many restraints, not only of opinion, but of posit . .ve regulation, have now been placed on officers in com mand, that little room is left for cruelty or oppression ; and indeed the severities of the merchant service in this particular frequently exceed anything that could be ex perienced in the fleet. Nevertheless, the knowledge that captains retain and employ the power of appealing to the lash may exert a prejudicial influence over the minds of seamen, now that the attractions of the royal and merchant services appear so nearly balanced ; and it is impossible that too great vigilance can be exercised on a point of such signal importance. It would, we fear , be discovered, on inquiry, that the whole difficulties of manning our fleet have arisen from the injustice of the terms proposed ; indeed, no other supposition will satisfactorily-explain the result. The. British isles possess a hardy and intrepid seafaring popu lation, numerous enough to furnish full complements for any fleet which we could wish to send to sea. If " Go vernment service" in this respect were considered as desirable as it is in most others there could never be any lack of seamen, for our men-of-war would get the first choice of all the sailors in the country, and nothing but the surplus would be turned over to the merchant ser vice. The contrary result can only have occurred be cause the merchant service offered better terms than the service of the Queen. In former times we used to counteract the preference thus created by an ap peal to force, and impress those whom we could not hire ; but this expedient can be relied upon no longer. We must obtain our seamen by fair means in fair market, nor need there be much difficulty anticipated in such a practice. It is very possible that merchant men may always keep ahead of the Government in the money wages they offer ; in fact, they could otherwise scarcely get seamen at all. But this nominal difference of pay ought to be more than compensated by the very superior advantages of treatment, victualling, promo tion, and pension which are offered on board a Queen's ship. At this moment, indeed, we really believe that the terms of the two services, fairly stated and rightly understood, would leave a decided balance in favour of the Royal Navy. The misfortune is, that this fact is not popularly known, and that other considerations — among which that of discipline may doubtless be reckoned—exercise a species of countervailing repulsion. All, therefore, that can be now done is to make the truth as public as possible, and to exercise such a super vision over the power of commanders as shall relieve the seamen from any apprehension of tyranny. THE AUSTRALIAN COLONIES. ( From the Timis. ) We have just received another of those astonishing documents which have taught us to view plain, sober, practical truth as more strange and more extravagant than the wildest Oriental fiction. The gnome or the genius who showered upon his favourite the hidden treasures of deep caverns and secluded mountains gave him nothing but the power of gratifying his passions, his luxury, and his magnificence. It never entered into the head of Eastern fabulist to conceive the simultaneous enrichment of a whole community, and to trace the effect of the change on the destinies of nations and the commerce of the world. The tale usually represents the Sultan as richer and his Court as more splendid, but leaves his subjects pretty much as it found them, and regards the increase of wealth as a means of foreign conquest and external aggression. Plutus has dealt more favourably with the Australian colonies ; his favours have been lavished on communities instead of individuals, and are felt almost as strongly on one side of the world as on the other. It is impossible within the limits allotted to us to give an adequate idea of the revelations contained in the report of the Melbourne Chamber of Com merce, a document ably drawn up, and containing a statement of facts such as never before have been sub mitted to the perusal of mankind. Progress and ad vancement are but faint and inadequate terms to express what has been happening in Port Philip : the thing, as w it n essed there, has no name, f or the world has seen nothing in the least resem bli ng it. All we can do is to call in figures to our aid, and leave our readers to esti mate as well as they may the facts of which those figures are the symbols. Eighteen years ago the province of Victoria was a savage and unknown wilderness, inhabited by a few bar barous tribes, and contributing no more to the wealth and progress of the world than it would have done if its shores had been submerged beneath the waves of the Southern Pacific. From that time to 1851 its progress was wonderfully rapid—its population had risen to 95,000 souls—its shipping inwards to 669 vessels, with a tonnage of 126,000 tons, and its revenue to 380,0001., —an increase, we believe, never exceeded by any community. Now mark the difference of a single year. In 1852 the population had become 200,000, the shipping inwards 1,657 vessels, with a tonnage of 408,000 tons, and the revenue 1,577,0001., of v ,,L9L , 342,000/. was raised from the Customs. During the year 1851. the value of imports amounted to 1,058,0001. 1852 it increased to 4,044,000/. the exports i ,1851 were 1,144,0001., in 1852 they had reached t 4 „;2,0001. ; but, taking into con sideration the large amo,:int of gold which has left the colony without being reeOrded, the total amount of exports is not, probably, less 15,000,0001. per an num—that, every man, woman, p,;2d child in Victoria t produces an export to the amount of 7bl- per head. But even this statement does not do full justice to this astounding influx of prosperity. The production of gold is taken from its commencement , when most of th e labourers were inexperienced, and the machinesryuotphreey employed rude and imperfect. .The colony pared for so vast an accession to its population, bad physical roads, and imperfect supplies, and every o difficulty have impeded . the industry of the miners. There is no symptom of falling off or exhaustion in the gold field ; the supply is practically boundl ess ,. . t he n um b er seems admit of an increase in proportion to of hands employed, and the greater facilities of transport, supply, and machinery. Seven hundred and twenty thousand pounds have been voted by the Legis lature- of Victoria for public works, and; - besides this, three railroads have been sanctioned, one to connect Melbourne with the port, another to connect LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1853.

SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Mecßcpl Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced wore misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern patholo2dsts. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist cure secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its conAequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical Infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of scien eacannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'AIERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive realm in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting Uri+ department of practice. he has been amply rewarded by the great succus that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care unqualified and ignorant empiric's, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The duty on advertising has not been so much a tax on newspapers as on businessmen and servants communicating aith the public by means of advertisements. It will be obvious to every observer that E. Moses and Soar have adopted this meting, of in tercourse with their friends and the public to a larger extent than any other Business Establishment ; yet they have never been able fully to express the facilities they have in the Tallorinf;*, Cloth lag, Hatting, Hosiery, Boot and Shoe Making, and General Out fitting Business for Ladles, Gentlemen, and Children. To have done so would have required space not less than half that of an ordinary newspaper, or would have occupied the pages of any supplement published. If it is remembered that the most gigantic and commodious Establishment ever maintained is that of E. Moses and Sosr, Aldgate and Minories, and that another called a Branch of this commercial pile is occupying the most conspicuous position at the West End (New Oxford-street, Corner of Hart street); and id Yorkshire, at Sheffield and Bradford, are two others of equal celebro- Thousands on thousands are coutr:butin't to these stores of miNnificence and comfeirt ; and while the greatest benefits aro derived by the public from cheap and elegant articles of Dress, an advantage Is possessed by thousands from the em ployment thus distributed amongst the people. If, therefore, E. Moses and Son bad been inclined to indulge in amplification, it would have been difficult for them to express one-half the' char acteristics of their unrivalled Business Establishments, where the most accomplished artists in the world are daily devising novel ties in Attire—where for each season the most appropriate mate ria's and styles are associated—where every section in society is furnished with unparalleled arLiclei of Dress to measure or ready made—where separate departments, each communicating, display the most extensive, novel, elegant, and superior stock of Caps, Hats. Hosiery, &c., and where a Wholesale Clothing Business is conducted which has for many years proved the most profitable means of in vestment to tradesmen, merchants, captains, and all classes of emi grants. At this time E. Moses and SON invite particular attention to their extraordinary preparations for the Summer Season, which comprise novelties in every way excelling, and specially so in Juve ni'e Attire, to which the attention of the best artists and workmen in the world has been distinctly directed. Whatever may be the benefits derived from reduced taxation, E.

We hear from the Mediterranean that the finest spirit pervades the small but efficient fleet. Rumours of wars have been rife among the squadren during the whole cruise; and, speaking for the ships with the officers of which we are best acquainted, we can safely say that should such a consummation ensue we do not envy the gentlemen, be they whom th e y w ill, w h o w ill have the disagreeable task ofendeaAuring to thrash them. For downright work we do not believe there ever was a squadron in finer" trim or better spirits. Show and parade have been less attended to by the commander-in chief than the getting up of a good 'morale among the men ; and in this he has perfectly succeeded. Hours and days that in former times used to be spent in routines of racing, drill, in flinging about huge unmanageable spars which could never require to be so rapidly shifted as to make it worth while to risk the expenditure of human life, which has often taken place in the bravado of a race at shifting them, are now occupied either less laboriously at gun drill or in recreation • so that the men, not hav ing their energies so intensely drawn upon, have some remaining for a pinch, and are as In if life at the pro spect. of active service as . = tioned h . ~ ; ry °ands. Small as the quadron is, every particle of it is iW'excel lent condition, ready and eager for anything. The voyage of the squadron to Besika was prosecuted with the greatest energy, the latter part having been performed by the steamers taking the liners in tow, a sight which was as striking as it is novel.' The whole fleet looked like a party of gnats returning with a num ber of huge black beetles as prisoners of war. A correspondent says, writing on the 13th : " A French steamer has just come out from the Darda nelles (one o'clock)—looks warlike. " 13th, Evening.—Consul (or vice) came down in 'the Tiger to-day. Since then the following has been given as the news brought by him :—The French fleet, consisting of nine or ten liners &c., are at Mitzleur, and the steamer before-mentioned was carrying dispatches to their admiral. The Russians are at Burgos, a town on the other side of the Bosphorus, having 16 sail of the line, frigates and transports, large and small, amounting in all to about 60 vessels—the transports full of troops. Further, it is said, that the Turkish troops are assembled from all parts, and that the Turks arc not quietly awaiting their fate by any means. One thing, it is said, has been already done—viz., a regiment of refugees has been raised of Hungarians and others, not less than 3,000 strong. "If it be true that the Turks have six liners in readi ness, the united force of the allies will be considerably beyond those of the Russians in strength. Whether or no, I wish them well out of it. Whether it be the natural feeling of affection which arises in the mind of a weak civilian to the burly military who are about to fight for him (a feeling which comes particularly home to us just now when we want a battle to be fought) which induces me, I cannot say ; but I must repeat, that a fleet in better fighting condition, with men possessed of more pluck and bottom than this said one at Besika Bay, is not often to be met with ; and it is to be hoped that while inducements for our seamen to return to those ships at present manning may not be wanting at homo, the Parliament will take care those abroad shall get something more than the amuse ment of exchanging hard knocks for their pains. " I hope Messrs. Cobden, Bright, and Co. will not be forgotten--that their peaceful prophecies and millennial proceedings may be called to mind, to induce the people to reward them as those who had done their best to destroy this naval force of ours so richly deserve. "14th.—Admiral made signal this morning, Leave to go on shore ; but all who go are to continue near the ships.' Caradoc not yet arrived."—Morniag Herald. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 4. Another trial of Sir Thomas Mitchell's bomerang pro peller took place this morning on board the Conflict, un der the command of Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., of the Blenheim, attended by Mr. Murray, chief engineer and inspector of machinery in the dockyard. The Con flict left the harbour at 9 a.m. for the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, when the average result of six runs was 9.378 knots—an improvement of about two-thirds of a knot on the speed attainable with the Conflict's own propeller. The average revolutions were 6517 - This trial with the bomerang was made in order to test the action of the blades, after the two small con tinuations which Sir Thomas Mitchell had been induced to make had been taken off and the propeller reduced to its original shape and proportions. The result has been a gain of two-thirds of a knot, which nautical men consider a great deal with so heavy a ship as the Conflict ; and we understand that Sir Thomas Mitchell means to challenge Griffith's propeller to do as much with the same ship. That fine steam-frigate, the Arrogant, went out of harbour this morning shortly before the Conflict, and we observed her trying her speed also at the measured mile. The Arrogant has been recently refitted with new boilers, & c., and her screw is a common one. We therefore watched with much interest when she turned into the mea sured mile, hoping to see a trial between the two ships, or rather between the two propellers; for the Arrogant is a remarkably fine vessel of her class, and with re spect to the Conflict, we need only point to the official re cords of her doings and misdoings. Notwithstanding the Arro gant's advantages, it was soon apparent that ;he was losing ground, and while the distance between the two vessels was growing more and more, the Arrogant sud denly altered her course. No accident of a serious kind could have occurred to occasion this deviation, as we per ceived her again upon the measured mile after the Con flict had finished her runs. The general result of tlie trials to which the bo nierang has been subjected seems to us fully to establish as high claims to public favour. Its form is based upon strictly mathematical principles. In point of celerity Sir ("somas Mitchell has proved the efficiency of his bomerang in a very heavy vessel, and that efficiency will be m, )re pal pably manifest if his offer to fit one to her Majesty 's yacht the Fairy is accepted. In other points, not so s triking to superficial observers, perhaps, as celerity, I int not less intrinsically important, namely, the diminish( *I wear and tear of ships and the economy of fuel, the sup ariolity of the bomerang is decided. We alluded to the : absence of vibration in the trial we last reported ; and to-day we purposely took our station for a considerable time upon the taffrail where, of course, the vibration w ould be most perceptible, and wore even in that positions 'scarcely conscious of any ; in the midships of the yes ael and below, while the Conflict was making nearly 1() knots, we could perceive no vibration at all. The enterprising merchants of Liverpool have shown themselves.tensible to the vast economical advantages of the bomera• ng, and have already fitted it to several of their ship s, which have accomplished quick voyages with a much dimi nished expenditure, as we noticed in our formes report. The propeller used on board the Conflict was manufac tured by Taylor and Co., of Birkenhead, and Sir- Thomas Mitchell pronounced an emphatic eulogium on the skill of their workmen, and their ready appreciati on of the principle of his invention, or rather his ingenis ins appli cation of the principle of the rude Australian v weapon to the purposes of propulsion. The leading and the follow ing blades of the bomerang propeller may be likened to the dorsal and caudal fins of fishes when swimming ; act on water at similar angles ; and are rooted o n th e shaft on the same principle of strength as those fins are at tached to the fish's body, imparting the power which is to give it motion. To give the bomerang propeller full space to develope its powers, larger apertures are re quisite than are now generally found in either ships of of the Royal Navy or in merchant vessels. Cho full bomerang propeller requires, we are informed, a space in length equal to one-third of the height. This altera tion can, however, be easily effected. Meanw kilo the exhibition. of the bomerang propeller in its prevan t com pulsorily crippled form has so convinced us o f its im portance that we are confident of its eventual a &option. The Coenus, 14, Commander Fellowes, arrive. d at Spit head last evening from Sheerness, and salutes 1 the flag of the Commander-in-Chief at this port. The Arrogant, 46, screw steam-frigate, Capt sin Fre mantle, having been supplied with new boilers, steamed out of the factory basin this morning, and prow ceded out of harbour to try her engines. She will re-sl lip stores and receive her crew from the Camperdown immediately, and join tine squadron at Spithead. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain Goldsmith , came into harb our this afternoon, and hauled under tlax s sheers to be supplied with a new mainmast. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert returns ski from her cruise, and came into harbour last evening, the trial of anthraoi to coal being most satisfactory. The Fasi'ry Royal yacht will be undocked to-1 norrow, after refitting. WOOLWICH, Ju GY 4. APPOINTMENTS. Acting Assistant-Surgeon H. R. Ley, to the Victory flag-ship a ►t Portsmouth.

A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London:Tavern, for the purpose, of authcirising the directors to raise. 250.000/. by the issue of new shares ; Mr. S. Laing; ILP.; in the chair. The• following report of the directors was submitted "The object of this meeting is to consider the financial arrangements for raising the remaining capital required for the'purposes of the undertaking. At the last general Meeting it was stated,' that the capital authorised by tlet deed of settlement and charter was 500,0001. of share cai tal, and 106,6661. Gs. Bd. of loan capital, making, together with 51,000/. profit on land, a total of 717,6661. 6s. Bd., and that as far as was then seen (the principal contracts being let) this amount of capital would be sufficient. The works being now further advanced, the directors aro able to repeat with more confidence their belief that no material excess in this estimate will be incurred,' although the postponement of the opening until next year will of course entail some expenses which had not been anti- Cipated. The ques ti on , th ere f ore , b e f ore th e mee ti ng will not be as to providing extra capital to meet unforeseen e:Tenditure, but as to the raising that capital which had been foreseen and included in the previous estimates. The deed of settlement and charter, as already stated, gives a power of raising money by mortgage or loan to the extent of 166,6661. 6s. Bd., and also of creating new share capital to any extent not exceeding 500,0001. ' • such power of being exercised by resol u ti ons o f a gen e ra l meeting of the proprietors, and with the approval of the Board of Trade, whose assent has been already signified. While the original shares were at a discount the exercise of the borrowing power appeared preferable to the creation of new shares, which could only have been issued with some guarantee or pre ference ; but now that the favourable state of public opinion with regard to the undertaking has raised the original shares to a considerable premium, the question has assumed a different aspect. On the one hand it is un doubtedly a saferbasis loran undertaking of this description to have all its capital on an equal footing, without any debt, preference charge, or other liability ; while, on the other hand, the creation of new shares, instead of being a burden on the original proprietors, becomes a benefit to which they are entitled. Accordingly, the directors recommend that the additional capital should be raised by the issue of new shares, instead of by the exer cise of the borrowing powers; and for this purpose they proposelthat 50,000 new shares, of 51. each, should be created, to be offered among the present holders, in the proportion of one new share for every two original shares. They pro toposbeetmahatdtehoenfirsautoptma 11. per share shall be made in October next. Any calls Y e r a n allotment, a t n o d n t t h h e a s t e s a ha fu re r s th sh er all p b ay e m l/ o . n l t Os o . f , beyond 21. 10s. per share will be regulated by the ultimate expenditure, and in the event; of the whole amount not being required the new shares will take equal dividend on the amount called up. As regards the ultimate prosperity of the undertaking, the directors have only to add their conviction that everything is tending to a favourable re sult ; and that as the structure rises, and the magnificent plans of Sir Joseph Paxton and his able associates become developed, public interest in this great national enterprise is being awakened to an extent which cannot fail to insure complete succass." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, that the ordinary general meeting of the company would be held in August, when they would have an ac count of the receipts and expenditure laid before them. He believed that the expenditure at present amounted to about 490,000/. He read a report from Sir J. Pax ton on the state of the works, from which it appeared that the accident which had lately occurred at the west transept in consequence of the scaffold having been blown down involved a loss on the contractor of about 2,000/. The damage had been made good, and the works generally were progressing favourably. The ex ternal works would be completed before the end of the year, and they would have the winter to finish up the in terior, so that they had no doubt whatever that the build ing would be opened to the public on the let of May. With regard to the prospects of the undertaking he (the chairman) thought the less said about them the better ; they were now going on favourably, they had had a great number of visitors, and the objects of the undertaking were becoming every day more extensively known and appreciated. There was another matter in which they were interested : it was the letting of the spare room in the building, and he was informed by Mr. Belcher that the whole of the 44/Se.ce would be let in a few months, and that he (Mr. Belcher) was confident that 100,0001 would be received for space in the building during the first year. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving a reso lution adopting the report and authorising the directors to raise 250,0001. in conformity with the recommenda tion in the report, the proportion of new shares being one for every two of the existing shares in the company. Mr. Alderman WILSON thought it would be a great convenience if persons were allowed to pay up the new shares in full. After a few observations from other proprietors the resolution was put and carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MR. CARDWELL'S COMMITTEE ON RAILWAYS.—This committee met again on Saturday to consider their re port, but nothing transpired as to what progress was made in preparation of the document. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND WARRINGTON AND ALTRINCHAM RAILWAYS.—The special committee decided on Saturday that if, by Monday, the former company did not make some arrangement to accommo date the traffic of the latter, the committee would them selves compel a solution of the difficulty much more onerous than merely carrying forward traffic brought to the station. EASTERN UNION RAILWAY.—The bill of this company, which, like that of the Leeds Northern, seeks to curtail the interest on preference shares, passed the Commons committee on Saturday. It is the only bill of the kind that has been so far successful, but there is no expecta tion of being able to carry it through the Lords, after a declaration made by Lord Redesdalo against all such measures of relief. REPORTS OF SELECT COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON. Mr. Corry reported from the committee on this bill that the proposed additional capital which the company are au thorised to raise for the purposes of the bill is 120,5001., and the additional amount of loan they are empowered to raise is 40,1661. The length of the extension line is 2 miles 6 furlongs, and of the junction line 1 furlong 5.70 chains, the steepest gradient being 1 in 200, and the smallest radius of a curve 30 chains. It is intended to cross on a level one turnpike road. The estimated cost of the railway is 120,5001., and the quantity of land required 40i acres. Mr. Underwood, Mr. J. Hawkshaw, and Mr. C. H. Gregory were the engineers examined in support of the bill ; and Mr. T. Hawkesley, Mr. A. Gee, and Mr. Salmon were the engineers exa mined in opposition to it. The committee are satisfied of the fitness, in an engineering point of view, of the proposed lines of railway. EAST ANGLIAN (No. 2.)—Mr. Corry reported from the committee that the new works, power to construct which is sought by the bill, are to be executed out of funds already under the control of the company. The length of the proposed line of railway is three furlongs one chain, the steepest gradient being 1 in 100, and the smallest radius of a curve 4 chains. The estimated cost of the railway is 18,0001. Mr. R. Stephenson was the engineer examined in support of the bill, and the com mittee were satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view of the proposed railway. That with respect to the power sought by the bill, that with the sanc tion of not less than four-fifths in amount of the registered holders of the preferential shares or stock of any class, the company may reduce the rate of interest payable on the shares or stock of that class to any rate below the rate agreed on, and that thenceforth such reduced rate of interest alone should be payable on the shares or stock of that class, it appeared to the committee preference under the circumstances under which the shares were originally raised (the company being at the time in great financial difficulties), and the present im proved position of the company's affairs, the restriction required by the 129th standing order should not be enforced. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN (COALBROOK-DALE, &c.)—Sir J. B. East reported from the committee that they had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Yesterday was the first Monday of the new regime, under which it was positively asserted that both Mon days and Saturdays would be field days, yet the whole of yesterday passed off at the camp in a very quiet, if not a, very dull manner. This, we believe, arose from accidental causes, as up to Sunday afternoon a grand field day was fully intended to take !place at Virginia Water ; and the public we think may, therefore, con t:nue to rely on the announcement which as a general rule, and wind and weather permitting, fixes sham battles for the first and last days of the week. As we have said, we believe there was every intention of com mencing the operations at Virginia Water yesterday ; and a party of Sappers and Miners were to have left the camp at three a.m. yesterday morning, for the purpose of pitching a tent near the pontoon bridge for the ac commodation of her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, who were expected to honour the review with their presence. But at a late hour on Sunday night a messenger arrived at the camp from Windsor countermanding the order for the erection of the marg . :lee on the following day, as her Majesty would not be present. It was under these circumstances, we believe, that the review was postponed ; and, should the operations be commenced to-day at the pontoon bridge, they will only be in the nature of a rehearsal, at which her Majesty will not be present. It h ex pected by all the officers that the pontooning manoeuvres will be one of the most brilliant and warlike displays that has been atteinpted in this country for some years past. Orders have been issued to commanding officers of the different regiments to see that the men march out of step - while crossing the - pontoons, as it is thought that the combined movement and weight of so great a number of soldiers crossing at once might be perilous to the stability of such a fragile structure. The troops will parade at nine to-day. THE NEW HALL IN BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—Accord ing to the newspapers, the ceiling has been painted in oil, and panelled with a great variety of geometrical forms, and adorned with shields of arms, heraldic badges, the insignia of the national orders of chivalry of the three kingdoms, the badge of the Prince of Vales, and the monogram of the Queen and Prince, with wreaths of flowers and the varies mottoes interspersed. A large oval occupies the centre of the ceiling, in which are the shields of her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, surrounded by a wreath of flowers. On the one side is tl4 golden harp of Ireland in a circle of deep blue, and on the other the lion of Scotland. The stars of the orders of the Garter and St. Andrew, with the rose, shamrock, and thistle, on squares of vermilion, are arranged so as to form the points of the geometrical forms into whi,eli the ceiling is panelled by colour. The architectural oreatnents of the architrave, frieze, and cornice. are also picked out with vermillion and white, blue, gold and white, avd green and white. —Builder. THE COMMITTEE ON DOCKYARD APPOINTMENTS.— Yesterday, the committee Fhose sittings were a short time since so protrated relative to the appointments and promotions in the different dockyards, and in which the proceedings of the late Board of Admiralty were in volved, re-assembled, in pursuance of an order of the house, to inquire into the circumsteltees connected with the memorials and correspondence regarding the restora tion of Lieutenant Engledue by the late Board of Ad ' iniralty to his former rank in the service. The com mittee consisted of Lord Seymour (chairm;g l ), Lord Hotbox], Sir B. Hall, Sir F. Davie, and Mr. Deckett. Admiral Berkeley, Captain Duncombe, M.P., Sir T. Herbert, M.P., and several other witnesses, having been examined respecting the circumstances of the transac tion, the committee adjourned to Tuesda y next. ROYAL COLLEGE or S URGEONS OF ENGI.AID.—The following gentlernee', having undergone the necessary meeting ls t instant of :_ the examinations for the slipl oma of the colle g e, were ad mitted members of the Court of Examiners , on el' Messrs. Samuel Argent, Hinckley, Leicestershire ; William Hall Ryott, Thirsk, Yorkshire ; Ephraim Matthews Cridge, Stoke, Devonport ; John Halliday , Wakefield, Yorkshire; John Henry Gould, Broad street, Golden-square ; Arthur Henry Sankey, Dover; William Turner, Lancaster ; Northcote William Spicer, Chard, Somerset ; Pete: Clark Kirkconnell, Dumfries ; Thomas Chaplin, Lewes, Sussex ; Richard Burford Searle, BridportDorsetshire. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH PROS! ORPORDNESS TO HOLLAND.—The following order has been issued by the Trinity House :—"Notice is hereby given that the sub marine cables from Orfordness to Holland, lay in a direction E.S.E. from the Orfordness Light House, with the light house on with Gedgrave high trees, bearing W.N.W., and that it is desirable that vessels should not anchor with those marks or bearings on, lest, by so doing, they damage tho electric cable, or lose their own anchors.—By order, J. HERBERT, Secretary." SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN THIS COUNTRY AND AMERlCA.—Arrangements are far advanced towards completion, for laying down a submarine telegraph be tween the United Kingdom and America. It is intended to connect the two countries, or rather the Old and New Worlds, by means of Galway and Halifax—these being the two nearest points of communication. The distance is about 1,600 miles. The perfect practicability of the thing has been guaranteed under the hand of nearly all the eminent engineers of the day, and various parties have sent in estimates for the execution of the work. These estimates vary from 800,0001. down to 300,000/., and it is a remarkable fact that some of the lowest estimates have been sent in by some of the most respectable firms in the country. When this extraordi nary project has been carried out, we shall be able in half an hour to send messages from London to New York, and receive messages from the United States in about half an hour. And n ot, we ou g ht to add , from New York alone, but from the interior of A merica , the electric telegraph being l a id down for upw ar d s o f 2 , 0 00 miles up the country. SUICIDE AT HUDDERSFIELD.-On Wednesday after noon last, as some colliers were going to work up the road leading to the railway station, known as Cow-lane, Hinley, near Huddersfield, they perceived a man lying, as if sound asleep , in the corner of an elevated field ad joining. As he did not appear to move, an aged man, named Simeon Oldfield, who was passing at the time, wa s sent to awake hi m , an d on arr i v i ng at the place found him lying i n a poo l of b loo d , quite dead, his throat having b een cu t i n a very s h ock i ng man ner, evidently b y a razor, which was found near him. The colliers were anxious to get from the place so as not to be mixed up with the matter, but the old man prevailed upon them to stop near the body, and went immediately for the constable. A cart' having been procured, the body was conveyed to the Jacob's Well inn, where it was identified as that of William Hanson, whose course of life has, we understand, for some time back been dissolute and unhappy. He bad once before attempted to put an end to his existence. The deceased was forty-one years of age. He has left a wife and several children. An inquest before J. Dyson, Esq., coroner, was "-held over the body on Friday, ' when a verdict in accordance with the circumstances of the on was returuod. - ‘ - • 705 tt-oftlo Vhcn ue In gland. ie 28 v y 4 Y 1 yl6 y 16 le 26 le 26 y 2 y 2 y 1 an ' l ° i the tr;ao o fecal r ; or swish y the s and ••••••• 1 ---.....
