HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (Prom the Registrar-General's Report•) The number of deaths from all causes registered in the week that ended on Saturday was 1,144, exhibiting an in crease of about a hundred on the first three weeks of Octo ber. In ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-1852 the average number was 974, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,071. There is, there fore, an excess of 73 in the present return on the corrected average, arising chiefly from the epidemic whose progress has been recorded during the last two months, and which has now attacked many parts , of the metropolis, widely dis tant, between Hammersmith and Whitechapel. The deaths from cholera, which were about 16 weekly in the beginning of September, rose last week to 96. Fifty. four males and 42 females s unk under the disease ;32 died under 15 years of age, 49 between 15 and 60 years, and 15 at 60 years and upwards. The 96 deaths occurred in the five metropolitan divisions as follows :—ln the west dis tricts, 16 ; in the north, 3 ; in the central, 1 • in the east, 24 ; on the south side of the ,Thames, 52. ihey are con tained in the following lists WIIST DISTRICTS. Population, 376,427. Deaths ' from cholera, 16. Kensington—Kensington Town.—At 14, Princes-place, on 23d October, the son of a servant, aged 4 months, " cholera infantum (7 days)." The medical attendant states that" the rooms of this house are dirty, with offen sive smell, and the inmates complain of the defective drain age and imperfect ventilation. The houses have no back windows." In the same sub-district, at 20, James-street, on 26th October, the son of a servant, aged 7 years, "cholera." The medical attendant states that " this child was bro ug ht from Knightsbridge (where its sister died of cholera) to all appearance well, and was seized with cholera with ou t any premonitory diarrbcea. Kensington—St. Paul, Hammersmith:—At 2, Brook green-place, on 14th October, the daughter of a t a il or , age d 41 years, " Asiatic cholera (22 hours). Neglected promoni tory diarrhoea." In the same sub-district, at 24, Brook-green -place, on 27th October, a labourer, aged 34 years," cholera(B hours), premonitory diarrhoea (one day)." In the same sub-district, at Lower-mall, on 23d October, the daughter of a hawker, aged 7 years, " Asiatic cholera (3 days), typhus fever (2 days)." In the same sub-district, at 24, Brook-green-place, on 29th October, a labourer, aged 23 years, ` cholera (18 hours), premonitory diarrhoea." Mr. Roy, the registrar, writes as follows .—" Since the 24th instant 7 cases of cholera have occurred in Brook-green-place, 5 of which have terminated fatally (one not yet registered) ; 2 were removed immediately to the workhouse, and are now convalescent. Another remov e d th ere di e d shortly after admission, the entry of which will be found in the return from Fulham, This is a narrow street, consisting of about 60 small houses, very confined, without, or almost without, drainage. The supply of water is deficient. The inhabitants consist of the lowest class of Irish, extremely dirty and filthy in their habits. Each house has a small back-yard, always wet and dirty, where several pigs are kept. Each room is oc cupied by a separate family, several of them by more. The roadway in front of these houses is always wet and filthy. from the refuse thrown upon it ; in short, at all times the locality is a public nuisance, and is never f ree f rom di sease, generated by dirt, both in the houses and outside. The medical officer of the district, immediately on the issuing of the recent orders in Council, made a minute inspection the place, found many nuisances existing, and caused their removal forthwith. Yet cholera has shown itself with great virulence, and I understand this was the case in 1832. I had the medical charge of it in 1849, and not one single case occurred, and-but very little diarrhoea, rind on inspec tion of it I find that although many nuisances still • exist, yet it is certainly now in a better condition than at the pe riod of the last visitation of this epidemic. A very promi nent cause of the present outbreak would seem to be the exceedingly overcrowded state together with the dirty and filthy condition of the interior of many of . the houses, and I think it would be fonnd on inquiry that the provisions of the Lodging-house Act are evaded. A careful house-to house, visitation has discovered numerous cases of diarrhoea which are now under treatment. The guardians have pro vided. a house to which the inhabitants can be removed, but although the dangers that surround them have been repeatedly pointed out, yet none of them have as yet availed themselves Of the offer."

The address from Scotland to the Home-office in favour of a national fast, and the answer thereto, have been some days before the public, and the reply of Mr. Fitzroy has been pronounced able or impious according to the feelings of its readers. The truth may sometimes be too plainly told, and what is objectionable carry with it an air of irre verence. Possibly, too, official life may tend to encourage a somewhat cavalier style of reply, espe cially to the forward and importunate ; so that in the letter of the Under-Secretary, there may be some reason to regret that he did not say what he had to say more gently, and the mild deprecation 1 of the world in general may be added to the groans of the pious. But in the general sense of the document we fully agree. There can be no doubt that, were the Government to acquiesce in the request there made, it would merely follow and strengthen a bad precedent. We know nothing in the character of these solemnities, and certainly nothing in that which took place four years ago, to lead us to sup pose them acceptable to God or edifying to man. As it is understood that a considerable class of the English clergy share the views which actuated the northern Presbytery, it is well that the public should consider the practical working of these so called humiliations and the price which they pay for them. Now, what is the spectacle presented on the morning of one of these days ? The shops, it is true, are shut, and the middle class on their way to their devotions ; but from every court and alley, from every yard and stable, pour forth men and women, boys and girls, all eager to make the , day what it is to three-fourths of the population z --- a day of pleasure. We do not, indeed, wish to deter the labouring community from those enjoy ments which tend to sweeten their humble and often bitter lot. Far from it ; we only wish there were more of them—more days set apart for the breathing of fresh air and the sight of green fields ; but then they must be understood to be days of re joicing. The Queen's Accession, and similar events, might well be commemorated by excursions and merry-making ; but it certainly seems strange when the announcement of national mortification sets millions on schemes of jollity, and the advent of a general fast is attended by preparations in every leader. But if for the most part the objects proposed are unattainable, and what was intended for an edification proves only a warning, the con tingent evils also are not few. In the first place, there is a renewal of bad blood between Church men and Dissenters. Generally speaking, these live quietly enough together, and separation of Church and State is understood to be postponed ; but the Queen's Letter is a signal for discord. The orthodox grocer shuts up his shop ; his Baptist neighbour must do the same, or be suspected of taking an unfair advantage. But to shut up his shop is to recognise the authority of the civil power in matters of faith, and is next thing to signing the Thirty-nine Articles ; and so in every neigh bourhood handbills are distributed and busybodies harangue on questions which had slept for years ; and it is well if there is not more rancour generated in a week than can be soothed by the ministers of all denominations in a twelvemonth. It must be remembered, also, that this is a commercial coun try, and that a day's cessation of business is no slight thing, when unforeseen and unprovided for. An occasion like the funeral of our late warrior is, of course, from its nature, unexpected ; but the inconvenience which' attended that ceremony should make us cautious how we bring to a stand, even for a single day, the vast machine of British com merce. We believe there is no general desire for any such display as has been suggested, and that the unwillingness proceeds in no way from want of religious feeling. Indeed, so terrible and mysterious a visitation as cholera must excite serious emotions in any but the most callous heart. But it is one thing to entertain feelings of awe and humiliation, and another to make an official display of ostenta tious abasement, and to interrupt those necessary duties the performance of which is piety, in order to gratify the fancies of a few and furnish a sub ject for the tumid declamation of the pulpit. It is well that an official personage has had the courage to speak out on the matter, for it is one on which there is apt to be much timidity. There is a species of terrorism exercised by the demagogues of the religious world. Men yielding to none in blame lessness of life and high sense of duty are kept in awe by those who have made an investment in holiness, and set up in business with piety for a stock in trade. Every one knows the popular preacher. His meekly arrogant countenance is in every printshop of his district, and his Babylon or Bethlehem is in its twentieth thousand. No man succeeds better in life. He has gained the reputation of a saint by depicting his own un worthiness, is asked out to dinner for preaching abstinence to the poor, and doubles his income by his vehemence against filthy lucre. The fair sex overwhelm him with those productions in silk and worsted which are the usual tokens of their regard. He has enough ottomans for a Pasha, and enough slippers for a centipede. Mothers con sult him as to the marriage of their daughters, and learn fro m hi m t o cons id er th e i r h us b an d s an d sons 1 as unregenerate. These are the persons from whom the demand comes for these spiritual vagaries. They are all-powerful among a large and opulent section of the middle class, and it requires a man of some courage to oppose them in their respective circles. Such a one is at once complacently denounced of the cl ergy ; or spitefully forgiven. They are no fair specimens swer of th e received with satisfaction e but they l.* are loud and forward, and I often represent them.Home-officeffice as impi ous , b u t it w ill b e show Th b e y y ill th c o o s n e d w em h n o thheeheavne that we bestall w our reverence t o H eaven by using our re ason to the laws by whi c h we search out and compre h en d sider that it i s true subre•governed, and w h o con to use the remedi es and preventives on to th e Di v i ne Will and experience teach u s to w hi c h sc i ence be effectual, and not to expect assistance but by their whops'' plenty There is to be done by the man has a day to spare.

AN EXCURSION IN SEARCH OF DIG GERS BY A GOLD COMMISSIONER. Having loaded the packhorse, we mounted and started from our barracks at 8 a.m., the party consisting of myself and three troopers. Crossing the Ophir Creek at the junction, and toiling up the long hill which rises on the western side of the stream, we proceeded across the country towards " Pullen's Fall "—a crossing place of the Summer-hill Creek. The country here is much broken, and shows evident signs of volcanic action. The tops of many of the hills are covered with scoria and basalt, and we found fine specimens of common opal. In about 7 miles we came to the edge of an almost precipi tous hill which borders the Summer-hill or Ophir Creek, which, with some difficulty, we scrambled down. The crossing place here is a dangerous one, the bed of the creek being filled with large round stones, smooth, and slippery over which the horses could scarcely keep their feet. When the creek is high this ford is impassable, as the raging torrent from the mountain, confined in its narrow bed, would doom both man and horse to certain destruction on the rocks below. After toiling up the steep range on the opposite side, and under a broil ing sun, in about a mile and a half distance from the ford, we reached Pullen's station. Here resides a small settler, whose cattle range the hills which surrounthhis dwelling, the manufacture butter and cheese occupies his attention, and produces a sufficient income to meet the moderate requirements of a bushman's family. We ob tained some milk and water, which was very grateful after the fagging walk up the range from the ford, and, proceeding onwards, we crossed a rough and hilly country, the mountains becoming more steep and broken as they approach the Macquarie river. Northward I observed seven or eight flat-topped hills of extraordinary formation, which are perfectly level on the summits, and being exactly of a height seem as if at some time they formed a waste level plain of many miles extent, and some fearful convulsion of nature had broken them asunder, dividing them in several parts, and finally leaving them in their present detached state. The levels of all these hills are covered with scoria, and from the edges overhang large rugged mass e s o f ? basaltic rock, forming as it were a fringe round the summit of each tableland. By a narrow and exceedingly steep cattle track we descended from the top of the range to the river. Here the banks of the Macquarie are very pre cipitous, the mountains towering to a great height along and on both sides. The river in many parts is choked up with immense masses of rock, which, becoming de tached from the precipices above, have rolled down into the stream. Following the river for about two miles over a most rugged path, we reached the Turon river, where it discharges itself into the Macquarie. We here crossed the latter, and at the junction found a small bush store kept by two brothers of the name of Rout ledge, who, content with the profits which accrue from supplying the diggers in the neighbourhood, are appa rently indifferent to the valued produce of the river, which runs in front of their store ; they are, however, purchasers of gold, and it is certainly an extraordinary fact in this hitherto despised convict colony of New South Wales that, although these men are known to possess money and gold • in considerable quantity, they are left unmolested, and yet, so isolated is their position, they might be both robbed and murdered without the possibility of assistance in their defence from any human being% The banks of the Turon are here highly picturesque, studded with the ever-fresh Cuswarina, and at this season covered with rich and fresh-looking grass. This river winds so abruptly and constantly that we were obliged to cross it at every few hundred yards, and the side from which the river turns is invariably a cliff formed by the con stant washing of the water. On the opposite bank are noticed with interest the long sloping points which have always been found to contain the richest deposits of the precious metal. About a mile up we came suddenly upon two men digging ; they were much disgusted at being caught in such an out of the way place by one of the dreaded commissioners. As a matter of course they had no money, but, upon being threatened with removal from the ground, they said they could pro cure the needful at the store. I sent a trooper with them, and the money was forthcoming, in exchange for the license to dig for one month. Another man I afterwards found, with whom I had some trouble, but having given him 24 hours' notice to leave the ground, or I would take him, I proceeded upwards and came to a spot where about thirty men were at work. As it was now 4 pan. I made up my mind to remain here the night, and while my troopers were unloading I proceeded to collect the licenses. Here I had little trouble, except that one party told me they had sent into Sofala (30 miles) for licenses ; their mate had been gone three days ; but, suspecting this was one of the customary evasions, I informed them that unless he re turned by the next night they must pay me (which they eventually did) or lose their " claim." The party next to them had procured about 31b. or 41b. ofgold from one hole o£ about, 16 feet by 20, and were taking daily from 3oz. to 60z.; with this exception, all the "claims" were newly opened, and it was expected they would prove Very rich, which was subsequently found to be the case. Here again is a scene of much beauty ; in front of the small fiat on which the diggers' tents are pitched, is a large and deep pool or hole, from the further edge of which rises a precipice of some 200 feet ; on the digging side, as usual, we have the sloping bank falling gradually from the mountain, which here receded a little from the river—the rock opposite is composed of reddish slate intersected with veins of quartz. After my work was done and I had measured out each claim of 15 feet, I returned to our camp for something to eat. The pots were already boiling, and as the bush method of making tea is new to my readers I will describe it. As soon as the quart pots boil, a good large pinch of tea is thrown into each ; it is then taken off the fire and the pannikin (a smaller pot) covers the tea and keeps in the steam. After drawing for some time the sugar is put in and the tea - poured backwards and forwards from the pot to the pannikin until the sugar is dissolved ; the leaves will now sink, and in a few minutes the grateful beverage may be poured out quite clear. This process may, to some of our English tea-drinking ladies, who pride themselves on their china and tea services, seem a very rough and incomplete one, but I can assure them I never tasted such good tea from any other method, and did they but once try it they would often long for the bushman's simple quart pot of tea. In the evening the man whom I had warned off the ground came up and paid his license. He told me he had made 1,4001. by gold digging, and yet he " would not have paid could he have helped it." How constant is the cry that the license is too high; but I maintain that if it were re duced even to ss. the attempts at evasion would be the same. The idea that to rob the Government is no crime, I regret to say, prevails to a great ex tent, even among respectable persons, and it is to the want of proper feeling on this point I attribute the at tempts which are repeatedly made to evade payment of what is erroneously denominated an unjust tax. How can it be 'a tax when it is optional whether parties dig or not ? Of course, if they dig, knowing the regulations, they must submit to pay, but the Government does not force any one to the occupation for the pursuit of which a license is required. After demolishing our supper, which consisted of tea, bacon, and damper, I borrowed a fishing-line from one of the diggers, and, having pro cured grubs from the swamp-oak trees, commenced fishing, it being now just sun-down and the best time for the sport. I soon pulled up a good cod of about 41b. weight, and subsequently two of smaller dimensions, which I re served for breakfast. We saw several wallabys running about on the precipice epposite and fired ineffectually at one or two, the distance being too great. The wallaby is a species of kangaroo, only much smaller; when kept sufficiently long and properly dressed it is nearly as good as hare. Night coming on we laid out our opossum rugs, placed our saddles for pillows, our arms at hand, and turned in. Sleeping in the bush in summer time is a very slight hardship, except in wet weather, and then it is anything but pleasant. In the morning, after a bathe in the water-hole and a good breakfast of fried fish, I started . up the river, leaving one of the men to mind the camp. I found but few digging, and after going up about seven miles, I was obliged to return, the banks becoming too precipitous on both sides to allow the horses to travel. During our ride of seven miles we forded the river no less than 12 times each way, and in some of the places had much difficulty in passing, owing to the rocks which encumber the bed of the stream. From a man whom I knew I received some information of several persons digging at a place which they had named Golden Gully, distanced some eight miles from the junction of the Turon. I determined to start in the morning for this spot. During my trip up the river many fresh parties had arrived, and before I left the ground the whole •." point" was apportioned out in " claims." There are many other points in this vicinity which will turn out equally rich. Fished again, but no sport. • Procured a wallaby, which one of my men shot with his carbine. Had some of it for breakfast the following morning. I then started for the " Golden Gully." Had a dreadful drag up a range fully three miles long out out of the valley of the Turon, and then over a flat and tolerably good country, coming suddenly upon the head of a small creek, where I surprised about 40 diggers. They were rather astonished to see me, but had not time to escape. Collected their licenses, and found that some were doing very well. The whole of this part of the country contains gold. Take a tin dish full of earth from, any part of the hills, and you will, on washing it, find specks. They are digging at the head of the creek, in a sort of flat, where ' there are two or three wate-holes. This creek increases in size as you go down, and finally becomes a rocky water-course, running into the Macquarie river. From Golden Gully I went on about four miles to a place called in Australian phraseology, "the Dirt Hole," where I found about 150 men, but one of the ether commissioners had already been there, and collected most of the licenses. I, however, obtained a few from new corners and skulkers. This has been an exceedingly rich spot, many parties having pro cured as much as 16 or 17 ounces of gold per clay. The gold is different from that procured at any other place, being nearly round like shot, and generally about the size of number 8. It does not appear to be much water-worn. .In many place s a t th ese di gg i ngs they have driven a tunnel into the bank, shoring it up with timber, and some of these tunnels proved very rich. The gold is found in whitish-looking clay, almost like pipeclay ; it is very difficult to wash, as it does not tents, but the water being of the readily dissolve in the hopper. There are two stores here :).p rr w oa gv , e sl l el raisednl egr sb,yn night, itshc oouv h ge e hr a et r d i t n ht g he colour and consistence of whitewash and the grass sour (these diggings being on very high ground) I returned about 3 miles on ray road and camped at the Tambaroura creek, where we had good grass and capital water. myself from the blankets and saw three men, each leading night to avoid the heat, but I afterwards, on my return g r s e ly r g s r g o t who reached the • river soon after my arrival, and Learirg I was 6011 1 here in •11.0',Urhood, they went on id the ' , night to avoid me ifi ' learly running into the lion's mouth.

These wretches travel about the country after the diggers, selling the most abominable stuff at 6d. a-glass, and often robbing the unfortunate victim when he is in a state of stupor. We constantly make seizures, but the gain is so great that they can, like the smugglers of old, afford to lose one venture out of three, and yet make a profit of it. Our horser behaved very well, and. in the morning we were in sight of our camp ; so we saddled, and at 4 a.m. I went on to the junction of the Turon to break fast. Going down the river I *aught two fellows at work without licences, and having warned them both when I was there before I made them pay the penalty of 3/. each. They saw me at some distance, when I was on the opposite side of the river, and as they started off at full speed into the bush, I had a chase to catch them, having to cross the river at a very rough place. We managed to pull them up, and as they paid the penalty I let them go. Several more parties had arrived since my departure, and as all the claims are turning out well this place bids fair to become a permanent and rich digging. After breakfast we continued our journey, climbing the hill from the river and the cliff at Pullen's Ford, on one of the hottest days I elver felt ; both men and horses had to stop every 20 minutes to take breath ; and, after reaching the summit of the latter, we were all obliged to lie down, being quite exhausted and in a per fect bath of perspiration. Reached the barracks at Ophir about 4 p.m., pretty well tired, having collected about 70 licenses—that is, 1001., during my three days' 'trip. This, with our home work, police-office business, escort duty, &c., will give you some idea of a gold Com missioner's life. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEDITERRANEAN DESPATCHES.-Mr. Tucker, Queen's messenger, arrived in London, from the Cara doc, with despatches (via Marseilles), on Monday night, and having waited on the Senior Lord of the Admiralty, Vice-Admiral Hyde Parker, was desired to proceed on to Windsor, where the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir James Graham, was on a visit to the Queen. THE FLEET. Rear-Admiral Corry's fleet has been considerably re duced by the detachment of several of the ships lately under his command to the Mediterranean, as we stated would be done. When the Agamemnon, 91, screw, London, 90 , Imperieuse, 51, screw ; and Highflyer, 21, &c.,• have taken their 'departure, the only heavy ships in a state to go to sea will be the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw ; St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw ; Prince Re gent, 90 ; Blenheim, 60, screw ; Hogue, 60, screw ; and Ajax, 58. The ships recently commissioned, which we anticipated some time since would be brought forward— namely Royal George, 121, screw, and Princess Royal, 91, screw, will not be manned within three or four months. The Prince Regent, it is said, will shortly be paid off, and her crew will be persuaded to man the new screw ships, as more powerful and efficient for an emer gency than the mere sailing ship. But whatever the changes at home, the ships in the Mediterranean will stay there, and those vessels sent out there will be a re inforcement, as we have all along stated. A movement northward is again reported, and it is high time there should be one, if the following informa tion, from the North British Daily Mail, may be re ceived as authentic : " We believe that some of the shippers at Leith have received information that their vessels lying at Cronstadt have received notice from the British Consul to be in readiness to put to sea at four or five haurs' notice, with or without cargo." It is well known that the Baltic fleet are in full effi ciency and activity. Its appearance off the unguarded and undefended coasts of Scotland would not be an agree able sight to the natives.—Morning Herald. THE MEDITERRANEAN FLEET. Extract of a private letter, dated Besika Bay, Oct 16 : " You may possibly have heard that war was publicly declared at Constantinople on the 4th of October. We move our fleet in a few days to an anchorage in the Dardanelles, near Chamak Kallessir ; the French fleet about 22 miles above us. We go to-morrow with some of the masters of the liners, to select the an- choraz,e. " The greatest excitement and activity prevail at Con stantinople. The Turks are working day and night casting shot, guns, &c. " Three large frigates arrived full of troops a few days ago, and were instantly sent on to Varna and Trebizond. The Turks appear to think they can thrash the Musco vite without any assistance." FIRST TRIAL OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 2. Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, took her trial at the measured mile this morning, and has realised our best expectations. She left the sheers jetty this morning soon after nine, in charge of Mr. Jones the pilot, and steamed out of harbour against a founknot flood tide in such style as to satisfy all who were judges that her performance would be satisfactory, and, having reached the trial ground, we give the re sults : First run, with tide : 4m. 48s. 12.50 1 Second run, against tide— Gm. 18s. ... 9.524 Third run, with tide 4m. 40s. Fourth run, against tide— :nun, with 3ss. Fifth tide 4m. 48s. Sixth run, against tide -sm. 58s. . rt' 1.3 12.8571 9.1181 12.5001 10.055141 the revolutions averaging 57, steam pressure 201 b., drawing 21 feet 74 in. aft., 20 feet 21 in. forward, her engines, by Maudeslay and Field, being nominally 400 horse. Here, then, following the Duke of Wellington, we have speed and improved lines combined. An ex cellent understanding between the shipwright and en gineer departments has effected this good result. We are, however, not quite satisfied yet; for in closely watching the immersion of the Princess Royal we felt that an additional length of bow, giving her a sharper entrance, would assuredly give her an additional knot an hour, for she raised a body of at least five feet of water, and the additional length of bow would do away with this resistance. Such improvement can take place in any future ship. And now again, looking as we do daily at the Marlborough, 131, screw, and a ship that will exceed 4,000 tons, we will again prophesy that she will average 12 knots, and more, an hour ; for in her build there is still greater improvement. The Princess Royal returned into harbour at 3 p.m., and will complete fitting out forthwith. The Sprightly, tender, Master Commander Allen, took off the officers and men belonging to the squadron at Spithead, and returned ashore with others in the after noon. The Blenheim, 60, steam guard-ship, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, is stripping entirely for a thorough refit. The Terrible, 21, paddle, Captain J. J. M'Cleverty, receives wages to-morrow (Thursday), and leaves in the afternoon for the Mediterranean. , The Archer, 12, screw, Commander Strange, arrived at Grimsby, from the Shetland Islands and Leith on Monday. e Her boilers are out of order, and she is ordered to Woolwich to refit. The Cockatrice, tender, Master Commander Dalton, arrived at San Blas Aug. 28, and left Sept. 0, for Pa nama and Valparaiso. APPOINTMENTS. Nov. 2. Clerk W. H. Hatch (1853) to the Madagascar re ceiving) ship, at Devonport, preparing for being sta tioned at Rio. Abraham Brumage to be measurer at Woolwich Dock yard ; Henry R. Herbert to be measurer at Pembroke Dockyard. Jonathan Gromsed to be inspector of shipwrights at Portsmouth Dockyard ; Robert Dawson, to be inspector of shipwrights at Pembroke Dockyard. Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to order that the new Royal steam-yacht be named the Windsor Castle. The Cuckoo steam-vessel arrived here to-day from Sheerness, and immediately embarked Lieutenant Free land, with the detachment of Royal Marines for service in the Royal George, 121, screw steam-ship, at Sheer ness. The Royal George will leave Sheerness in about ten days or a fortnight for Devonport, where she is to be completed for sea. The Cuckoo at the same time embarked the detachment of Royal Marines for service in the Diamond, 28, at Sheerness. THE WEST INDIES. The commander-in-chief, Vice-Admiral Sir G. F. Sey mour, K.C.8., remains in his flag-ship at Halifax. His family will not go to Bermuda this season on account of the fever. He will have to be relieved shortly. The Vestal, 26, jCapiain Thompson, had - arrived in the West Indies from the Bay of Fundy. She was at Port Royal. _ _ _ The Buzzard, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Dobbie, left Port Royal, Oct. 1, for Portobello. The Daring, 12, Commander Napier, arrived at Port . Royal, Oct. 10, from a cruise. The Brisk, 12, screw, Commander Seymour, arrived at 'Wort Royal, Oct. 4 ; was 20 days on her passage from Madeira. The Megwra, 'screw transport, Commander Johnson, arrived at St. Thomas's, from Tortola, Oct. 11, and left on the 12th for Barbadoes.

The horses were started at the appointed time, and Bourton came in first, The General second; but an objection having been made by the owner of The Old Rake, the stewards, after hearing evidence, decided that it was no race. A second start therefore took place after the Selling Stakes, when it was nearly dusk. Sir Peter Laurie and The Premier, who ran in the " first heat," did not go the second time.

This system thus :—The t wo s id es of the vessel are fragl i e as two imme nse t russed beams, deep euoug b o carry the whole weight of the vessel and cargo, ae„, d ,, s ; ficiently stout to resist the blow of waves. -"'", s r e , trusses would be constructed in the usual man ne d either as lattice-girders or with suspension-bolts 1 - 1 ., braces, the spaces filled in with uprights ; si `7,i e o case the outside and inside planking of the s_ l 4 would constitute a very complete longitudi'' tk. tie. The floor would be firmly connected v il these sid es , bi n di ng in, or breaking joi n t as it ig n called, a n d b e i ng i n the form of an inverted vault, ssirci ported by the sides and not broken on the keel, Ic t ' ti possess great st reng th . I n the case of a wide vesse l, l truss on the k ee l son f rom end to end, forming a „au support along th e h o ld , would divide`the bearing,aniv be a very strong back-bone. The sides would be firm supported in their upright position by the decks ; 3n a cross-trusses athwartships would stiffen the whole in manner to prevent straining and the necessity ef 71 1 caulking. Almost the only objection I have wet is, that until Lloyd's committee, and surveyors, 'W .O class ship s , w ill recogn i se the merits of the new s ystee ..„. l ? it will not answer the purpose of builders to adopt it.
