By order of the Board, REGINALD II AUNCY, Sec. January 7, 1853. GREAT NEW SOUTH WALES RAILWAY , from NEWCASTLE, in the Colony of New South Wales, to M A ITLAND, and from thence to SAGENIIOE, near the foot of the Liverpool Range, through or near BLACK CREEK, BELFORD. CASTLE FORBES, DARLINGTON, SINGLETON, and 3fIJSCLE TOWN : With power to make branches and extensions, as suitable to the local wants of the district. Arrangements were made In the year 1646 for the construction of this line of railway, it being then considered as one of paramount importance to the interests of the colony. The temporary check hat occurred lin the mercantile affairs, of New South Wales, about that period, cauzekthe promoters to abandon their project until a revival of conithercial confidence. The gold discoveries on the estates of several of the land corn panics and private proprietors in the Maitland district, have ren dered the conveniencies of transit at present existing to be quite in adeqaate to the requirements consequent upon this recent develop ment of the resources of the colony, and the promoters are, there fore, now induced to proceed with their project. The length of the line will be about 80 miles, and will effect a sav ing of nearly 100 miles over the present circuitous route by the River Hunter, and will furnish communication to the different counties and districts of Northumberland, Hunter, Durham, Gloucester, Phillip, Brisbane, and other districts, comprising a population of nearly one fourth of the whole colony. There is already a very large traffic in passengers, goods, cattle, mine rals, coals, and agricultural produce along the line, and there can be no doubt that, by opening the resources of this part of the colony, rick in agricultural productions, as well as auriferous deposits, and by effect ing a saving of distance, time, and expense in the transit, the traffic win be greatly increased, and will prove highly remunerative; and the gradients of the line are exceedingly favourable, and the cost of construction will be unusually low ; the promoters, therefore, have every confidence of an ample return on the required capital. Prospectuses, with an influential committee, comprising some of the leading merchants and gentlemen connected with the colony, resident there and in this country, will shortly be issued, of whieh due notice will he given; and, in the meantime, all communications are to be made to the solicitors, Messrs. Carritt and Osgood, 24, Baslnghall-street. THE MOST SEASONABLE FOR THIS SEASON.—The weather being nearly one continued "drip drop," with neither frost or snow. Mat dress is most suitable fbr present wear ? The variety of attire manufactured by E. MOSES and SON, supplies the amplest choice for every one, but seasonable at this season are their REVERSIBLE COATS, which for mazy years they have made in the largest quantities, and in the greatest variety, it is unnecessary to change the name. Reversible means to be worn on either side, one side on wet days, being waterproof, and the other on dry ones. E. MOSES and SON'S styles;, materials, and workmanship in this artie.lasupercedes those of any other house, and the price charged is considerably less. The most b_ ] e. ens Dress for Youths and Child r e n i s presen t e d a t th e es t a blishm Of E. MOSES and SON, it excels in fit, finish, and fashion. Tho most seasonable attire for Balls and Dress Circles is that made by E. MOSES and SON, it comprehends richness of ornament, beauty of pattern, and superiority of workmanship.

Should he require to increase system, he gets e or decrease the amount of his policy he can do so at pleasure.

After ea tft thr er he ee has withdrawn part one year he can, by a s to gr eater or even single Years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to former amount ; and by this system he can at a ll times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facilityinth a e s bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, t he s ame in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive mere than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life O ffi ces be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current• premiums, and, instead of having any fund to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPosiT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognized and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bulk because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor i n case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A RANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system are Still more striking, ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY TINDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : " Wlnchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. " Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothieg to equal it. "I am, Sir, yours respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London. This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re straint of diet or confinement during their use.

M.D. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Dcctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., S.C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearihl consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Xtert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves ender his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

Yesterday, the half yearly general court of this insti tution was held at the offices in Trafalgar-square ; B. Bond Cabbell, Esq., M.P., presiding. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the several monthly committee meetings held during the half-year, detailing several cases in which persons had been saved from drowning, and in consideration of which rewards and medals had been awarded by the society. The secretary also reported that the great proportion of fatal accidents in the Serpentine occurred in the bathing season late in the evening, after the society's boats were withdrawn, and that an application had been made to the police au thorities, and also to the Office of Works, to prevent bathing at late hours, but the answer in both instances was that they had no power to interfere.

SINGULAR CASE. —A very singular case has just been decided by the Civil Tribunal at Paris. The circum stances were these :—A young married woman named Martin was in the service of a Madame Durand, of Mont martre, whose son Edouard had been for some time con fined in a lunatic asylum, but having apparently re covered, had returned home, and on the death of that lady, she continued in his service. He had been specially ordered by a doctor to refrain from drinking spirituous liquors, and as long as he did so he was reasonable enough ; but in April last he began drinking, and he became exceedingly excited, and after a while raving mad. In the night of the 29th of that month he rose, armed himself with a poignard, and going into the cham ber in - which the woman was sleeping with her husband, plunged the weapon into his throat, and wounded her. The man died immediately. Durand then hastened to his own chamber, and began crying from the window, "It was a mistake ! I have killed a little girl ! the bandits—the brigands ! But I have done well, for why did they rob me 1" He also used other incoherent expressions. The commissary of police having been in formed of what had taken place, hastened up, and on seeing him, Durand made a gesture of submission, and presented him, with all the dignity of a, vanquished general, with a sword, which he had seized. The com missary proceeded to question him, but he could only murmur a few unintelligible sentences, and then fell dead ; he had stabbed himself with a poignard. Madame Martin called on M. Charles Durand, nephew, and heir of the deceased, to make her some compensation for the death of her husband ; but as he refused, she brought an action against him, and it was argued before the Civil Tribunal on Saturday. Her advocate insisted she was decidedH clearly e n titl e d t o compensa ti on ; w hil s t th e a d voca t e o f M.

The Russian Government has enter e d i n t o nego ti a ti ons w ith continuation of its line of tele graphs to th e f rontier o Petersburg in Russia, in order t o pl ace St. and with France , communication with the German capitals THE MADIAI. (From the Times.) Death has at last terminated the sufferings of M. Madiai, and set a mark of infamy upon his persecutors which no time will efface. We have seen in the last few years many events to make us question the progress of mankind, and even to doubt the security of the noblest conquests of liberty, of knowledge, and of toleration. The pro gress of free government has been brutally'arrested by anarchy and by despotism. The most culti vated and energetic nations of Europe have shrunk into so servile a condition that liberty is denied to every power of society, except to the arrogant pre tensions of spiritual domination. But, in the long list of these follies and crimes, we have read of nothing more extraordinary than that a humble and inoffensive Christian man should have been brought to a lingering death, by the will of his Sovereign, because he dared to profess that evan gelical faith which is the sacred consolation and firm hope of the most religious and educated por tion of Europe. The Sovereign on whom the ulti mate responsibility of this atrocious consequence must fall was not originally a severe or a cruel ruler. On the contrary, till a recent period, his dominions were the freest and happiest portion" of Italy, and the acts which have since rendered Florence the scene of persecution and oppression are attributable, in great measure, to the terror taus d in the mind of the Grand Duke by the revolution, and the bigotry with which he is taught by the Romish clergy to regard the circumstances of his restoration. The Pope and the Virgin Mary are, in his estimation, the authors of that miraculous event,) and his gratitude to these supernatural patrons is expressed by a stupid per secution of those who place their religious faith upon the promises and the protection of a purer faith. For this reason Madiai and his wife were selected to be the first victims of what must be called the Florentine Inquisition, for the whole proceeding was in its nature and its results iden - tical with the jurisdiction of that most holy tribunal. The law itself, under which they were charged with impiety, was wrested from its true meaning, for the Leopoldine code was designed . by its authors to be the barrier of the religious liber ties of Tuscany, and not an instrument of Romish persecution. These unfortunate and innocent per sons were judged with intolerance, and condemned with extreme severity. The object of the Court, or rather of the priests who instigated the prose cution, was to make an example of them, and, if possible, to strike terror into those who, in this age and in the heart of Italy, are compelled to gain ac cess to the Bible with as much secrecy and peril as the early disciples. The result of that trial aston ished and shocked every thinking man in Europe. It seemed as if the whole battle of bigotry and toleration was to be fought over again, if such acts as these could be done by a Grand Duke of Tus cany in the middle of the 19th century. The strong est personal appeals were made to that Prince, especially by the Courts of England and Prussia, A body of eminent, pious, and conscientious men, deputed by large multitudes of their' countrymen in England, France, Germany, and Switzerland, proceeded to Florence to plead for innocence, if not to remonstrate against injustice. All these exer tions were vain, for the keys of the Madiais' prison were held in the grasp of superstition itself; and the Tuscan Government affected a revolting insen sibility to the public opinion of Europe. Hopes of pardon were still entertained at the season which closes the year, and might dispose even the Church of Rome to forgiveness. Yet the Madiais themselves supplicated for no in dulgence but the reeognition of their Christian rights, and they awaited their liberation from the power which guides the issues of life and death. In that form, to one of them at least, freedom came. The husband Madiai, less strong in body and less vigorous in mind than his wife, but not less con stant in his faith, expired a few days in captivity. It is satisfactory to know that within a short time of his departure he received the visit of M. Colombe a Swiss pastor, who administered to him the conso lations of that faith for which he died, and that the unceasing efforts of the Romish priests to obtain his recantation entirely failed. The trials and the virtue of martyrdom are not common in this age, for the greater liberty of professing the truth has lessened the danger and the honour of adhering to it. But the examples of this firmness and fidelity under persecution are but the more inesti mable when they are contrasted with the frivolity and indifference of modern society. The strem.gth which enabled this poor Italian courier to resist the authority of an unjust court, and t. die under the rigour of persecution, is the same which reformed the church and changed the face of the world. We know not with what feelings Leopold, Grand Duke of Tuscany, received the intelligence that his victim was beyond the control of human laws, but hence forth the name of Madiai is indissolubly associated with his own. It was to satisfy his personal bigotry and superstition that he allowed the course of justice to be turned aside, the source of clemency to be sealed, and the remonstrances of Europe to be repelled. The church of Rome, acting through his authority and mistress of his will, has shown herself as unrelenting as in the worst ages of her dominion ; and this Grand Duke stands last in the detestable list of those rulers who have taken away the lives of their subjects for conscience sake. This, then, is the state of Italy. We confess that the occurrence of such an event under the Tuscan Government, supported by Austria and directed by Rome, is more ominous and intolerable in our eyes than all that we have heard of political repres sion. When the Government of this very Grand Duke was overthrown in 1848, it was justly consi dered an act of strange ingratitude towards a Sovereign who seemed to have had the welfare of his subjects much at heart. All such sympathy is henceforth extinguished ; he has staked his power and his existence on the force which protects his palace ; and either on him or on his heirs an account will one day be taken of his government. We have little confidence certainly in the revolutionary party In Italy, whose misconduct and incapacity disgraced in every way the momentary interval of power they enjoyed. The effect of that convulsion was to extend the occupation of the Austrian troops from the Po to the Roman Marshes, and to anni hilate the last traces of independence in the smaller states. But w e can conce i ve no greater infatuation than that of the Italian Governments, which have done nothing since their restoration but heap up the materials for another and a more destructive crisis. The consequence is, that all hope of improvement, or even of toleration for the progress of public o pi n i on un d er suc h rulers, is at an end—th a t th ey are v i ewed with feelings of unmingled detestation by their subjects —and that, with the solo exception of Piedmont, which is prosperous and contented, because it is free, even the invasion of a foreign enemy would be regarded as an era of joyful liberation. Such, too, is their ignorance and impolicy, that at the very time when they have most to apprehend from the uncertain designs of France, these Govern ments have done everything that could degrade themselves in the eyes of England, and to render us indifferent, if not hostile, to their wretched ex istence. The Papal Court has ventured on an act of audacious impertinence to Great Britain ; the Tuscan Government allows British subjects to be cut down with impunity, and punishes men and women for reading the Book of Common Prayer ; the Neapolitans relax none of their severity to , wards prisoners whose sufferings have excited the compassion of all Europe ; and Marshal Radetzky carries into effect more capital executions for poli tical charges than he ventured upon after the great rising of 1848. We know not whether these States may ever stand in need of the countenance of England, but assuredly they have a long score of past offences to wipe off before they will obtain it ; we view the fate of their victims with sincere commiseration, and we doubt not that those who have had the weakness and cruelty to govern by such means as these will one day pay the penalty of the rights they have outraged and the authority they have abused. THE EVELYN DIARY AND CORRESPONDENCE. - The literary world will hail with much satisfaction the long looked for publication of the third and fourth volumes of the Diary and Correspondence of the celebrated John Evelyn. " Next to the Diary of Pepys, which is unique, this Diary of John Evelyn is the most valuable contri bution to our knowledge of the social life of England in the seventeenth century that our literature can boast. It wants, indeed, the quaintness, the inimitable candour of confession, that makes the Diary of Pepys the most amusing book in the world ; but it is a perfect picture of the same society by a more philosophical observer, as accurate a record of the sayings and doings of a more select class, and therefore affording equally valuable materials to the historian and the philosopher. This new edition of a work which has taken a permanent place upon the book-shelf, has been considerably im proved ; explanatory notes have been given to obscure passages, errors have been corrected, and much corres pondence of Evelyn and his wife, almost as full of curious revelations as the Diary, have been added by the pre- I sent editor." —Critic. [PRICE SD. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 12. Commander George B. Jeffreys, of Gosport, late of the Driver steam-sloop, and flag-lieutenant to the Com mander-in-Chief on the Irish station, received an ap pointment this morning as Admiralty agent in charge of mails, and has left this afternoon by railway for Ply mouth to take up his appointment. Tho Medea, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Commander C. Bailey, has been undocked this afternoon, after having had her bottom cleaned and her defects repaired. The " British Lion," a noble carving of which formed the figurehead of the Windsor Castle, now the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw three-decker, fitting for sea at this dockyard, was removed to-day, to make room for a colossal bust of the great warrior after whom she has been re-named by the Queen's command. The Marlborough, 120, sailing three-decker, under conversion to a screw-ship, will be parted for lengthen ing amidships on Thursday. The pay-books of the Phaeton, 50, Captain Elliott, have been landed to-day for transmission to the Admi ralty. She will be sent hence to Sheerness, where she is ordered to proceed as soon as the weather moderates. The weather is still frightful. It has been blowing a gale the whole day from south-west, and at the turn of the ebb the sea looked " mountains." There has been but little communication with the ships at Spithead, nor is there any chance for the next 24 hours, according to present appearances. SHEERNESS, JAN. 11. The Lizard parted from her harbour moorings at about 3.30 a.m. this day, and drifted past several vessels moored in the same range of moorings. The watch on I deck let go her anchor, but she was not brought up until she drove down abreast of the guard-ship of ordinary the Monarch, from which ship assistance was sent, and a hawser carried away from that ship by the cutter's crew, under charge of Mr. Mugford, second master. Shortly after this both anchors were let go froili . the Lizard, and she was brought up off the Basin Moorings Buoy. The cause of the Lizard's parting was the break ing of the mooring ring, which unites the pendant to the mooring bridles. _ _ The Imp6rieuse ' Capt. Randle B. Watson, from Wool wich, a ft er trying her speed between the Mouse and the White Buoy off the Nore in Sea-reach, passed the Gar rison Point at 11.45 a.m., and at 12 . 5 passed Kitty-hole Point at the head of Saltpan-reach, a distaike of quite four miles, in the 20 minutes, during which time her en gines were stopped dead to allow the Myrtle to go along side to put the pilot on board, giving her a rate of speed of fully 15 knots, with a strong gale dead an end. Mr. Isaac Watt, Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy, went on board the Impfrieuse on her arrival in harbour, and pro ceeded to Chatham. All the available force of the shipwrights and joiners is to be put on the Rattlesnake, Commander Henry Trol lope, so as to get her ready to leave on the Ist of Feb ruary next. It has blown a hard gale here from south-west since last evening, which has continued all day, and in con sequence the Tribune has not been launched. An order has arrived to receive the frigate Phaeton, Captain George Elliott, from Portsmouth, for paying off here as per Admiralty order. The joiners of this yard have sent in a petition to the Captain• Superintendent to be forwarded to the Admi ralty, humbly craving their lordships to raise their rate of day pay, which will in due course be forwarded from here by Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, Acting- Captain-Superintendent. WOOLWICH, JAN. 12. APPOINTMENTS AND PROMOTIONS. Chaplain and Natal Instructor Rev. Frederick W.

THE EMPEROR SOULOUQUE AND THE HAYTIAN EMPIRE. - - The New York Herald of the 21st ult. devotes a page and a half to the correspondence which took place between the late Daniel Webster, then Foreign Secretary for the United States, and Mr. Walsh, a diplomatic agent dispatched to Port au Prince, in the month of Angust last, to co-operate with the consuls of Great Britain and France in endeavouring to patch up a peace between the Emperor and the republic of St. Domingo. Accus tomed as we are to the dry punctilions and unin teresting diplomatic correspondence set forth to us in Parliamentary Blne Books, the free and easy, perfect-equality style of writing adopted by Mr. Walsh is refreshing beyond measure. When the current diplomatic news fails to eke out a dispatch, Mr. Walsh falls immediately on gossip, and dashes off the sketches of men and manners, light, airy and vivid, which, allowing for the prejudices manifested against a people and institutions tainted with African blood, are highly amusing and interesting. That Mr. Walsh has what we on this side of the Atlantic should call prejudices, though perhaps in the United States they may be only accounted part of the na tionality of a free and enlightened citizen, we think may be safely premised, when we find Mr. Webster in the draft of his instruction s grave l y cau ti on i ng him "to keep his mind free from any prejudice re sulting from colour or forms of government, in his dealings between the Haytian. Empire and the Do minican Republic, and not to deny justice to the Emperor Soulouque because „Zia .government i s monarchical and his subjects of African extraction, or to be partial in his judgments in favour of the Dominican Government, because its officers are composed for the main part of Castilian race, and because it is republican in its form." Further on we find that one of the collateral objects of Mr. Walsh's mission was to negotiate the recognition of Haytian consuls at American ports, with the ex press stipulation that these consuls should not be of African extraction. Considering that this went to prevent the Haytian Government employing any of its own subjects as its commercial agents, this was pretty strong. We commend these facts to the notice of the Abolitionists. Mr. Walsh's descrip tion of the Emperor's appearance at opening the Chambers is very amusing. For his political in ferences we cannot vouch :-- "His Majesty and suite were robbed in costumes just arrived from France, making such a display as I have never seen rivalled except at 'Franconi's,' in Paris ; and certainly none but theatrical magnificences would venture to exhibit such glittering and variegated splen dour in any other metropolis, however imperial. The toilette of Souloque himself, was quite wonderful, espe cially the chapeau, with its numerous feather s tipp e d with different hues. As t o the enthusiasm of the people, so loyally commemorated by the pen of the journalist, all the warmest part of his description of it is indebted for its existence to his imagination alone. All the shouts in the streets proceeded from the throats of a little mob of ragged urchins, who followed the Emperor as he caracoled along on his Andalusian steed, and whose pa triotic feelings were doubtless raised to the highest pitch of admiration by the marvellous glories of his appear ance. It may be safely affirmed from the mode in which the Emperor is generally received by his subjects, that he is only strong by position, and that there is no affec tion cherished for him, either political or personal. It is the knowledge of this fact, and his desperate determina tion to sustain himself at whatever cost, that has caused him to shed so much blood, in which he has already dyed his hands so deeply that it might have made their black one red.' Before his sudden and unexpected elevation to the chair of State, he was noted for the mildness of his disposition, amounting to almost imbecility, and those who were the chief con trivers of his election imagined that he would be a mere tool in their hands for the accomplishment of their own ends. Never was there a more egregious miscalculation, and most of these very men h ave a l rea d y fallen victims to their mistake. Since his assump ti on o f animperial charge,' in which even a good and virtuous nature may recoil,' he has fancied himself in a constant state of war fare with plotters against his power and life, and acting upon the maxim that the first blow is half the battle, the moment he suspects he resolves to destroy. I know,' said he-to an informant of the highest authority, that I am surrounded by persons who are seeking my overthrow ; but they made me chief without my asking them, and chief I will remain, if I have to use all the powder in the arsenal in shooting at the villains.'" In a dispatch written at the close of his mission, Mr. Walsh thus speaks of tho condition of the people and the Government of Hayti "It is a conviction which has been forced upon me by what I have learned here that negroes only cease to be children when they degenerate into savages. As long they happen to be in a genial blood it is the rattle and the straw by which they are tickled and pleased ; and when their passions are once aroused, the most potent weapons of subjugation can alone prevent the most hor rible evils. A residence here, however brief, must cause the most determined philanthropist to.entertain serious doubts of the possibility of their ever attaining the full stature of intellectual and civilised manhood unless some miraculous interposition is vouchsafed in their behalf. In proportion as the recollections and traditions of the colonial civilisation are fading away, and the imitative propensity, which is so strong a characteristic of the African, is losing its opportunities of exercise, the black inhabitants of Hayti are reverting to the primitive state from which they were elevated by contact with the whites—a race whose innate superiority would seem to be abundently proved by the mere fact that it is ap proaching the goal of mental progress, while the other has scarcely made a step in advance of the position in which it was originally placed. It is among the mulat tos alone, as a general rule, that intelligence and edu cation are to be found ; but they are neither sufficiently numerous, nor virtuous, nor enlightened to do more then diminish the r a pidit y of the nation's descent, and every day accelerat es the inevitable catastrophe by les sening their influence and strength. " The contrast between the picture which is now pre sented by this country, and that which it exhibited when under the dominion of the French affords a melancholy confirmation of what I have said. It was then indeed an exulting and abounding' land —a land literally flowing with milk and honey ; now it might be affirmed without extravagance, that wher e it i s not an arid and desolate waste, it is flooded w ith t h e waters of bitterness or co vered with noisome and p o i sonous weeds.

" The Government, in spite of his constitutional forms, is a despotism of the most ignorant, corrupt and vicious description, with a military esta bli s h men t so enormous that, while it ab sor b s the largest portion of the revenue for its support, it d r i es up the very sources necessary labourers, to fill the town with pestilent hordes of national prosperity, by d e p r i ving the fields of their of depraved and irreclaimable idlers. The treasury is bankrupt, and every species of profligate and ruinous expedient is resorted to, for the purpose of obtaining the means of gratifying an insane passion for frivolous expen diture. A great portion of the public revenue is wasted upon the personal vanities of the Emperor, and his ridi culous efforts to surround himself with a splenduor which he fancies to be pre-eminently imperial. It is a fact that the same legislature which voted him several hundreds of thousands of francs for some absurd costume, refused an appropriation of twenty-five thousand francs for public schools. The population for the most part is immersed in Cimmerian darkness, that can never be pierced by the few and feeble rays whi c h emanate from the higher onsthne t s ystem, whilst there i s a gat majorityt a portions f n theo of and h jealousies only and antipathi es be tweenclass at all cconstant capa ble of guiding the destinies of the land, w h ich threatens at every moment to shatter the political ve sse l i n which socialte they are so perilously working. As to the refining and elevating influences of civilised life —the influences of religion, of literature, of science, of art—they do not exert the least practical sway, even if they can be said to exist at all. The priests of the altar set the worst examples of every kind of vice, and are universally mere adventurers, disowned by the Church, who alone can come, here in consequence of the assumption by the Em peror of ecclesiastical authority, which militates with that of the Roman Pontiff. The press is shackled to such a degree as to prevent the least freedom of opinion, and people are afraid to give utterance, even in confiden tial conversation, to ought that. of the may be tortured into the slightest criticism upon the action Government." ihlwasaysp which a re t o be offered to constr uc t Sul JOHN RENNIR IN SWEDEN. - Sir John R enn i e , the engineer, is now in Sweden, occupied in tra c i ng th e line commencedt o be taken in t hbey spring.tw o new H r railways, a line of electric telegraph from Helsingbond on the Sound to Stockholm, and his offer has been readily accepted.

TRADE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND NORMANDY.—A Caen journal publishes a statistical account of the trade carried on between Lower Normandy and England, from which it appears that a steam communication has been carried on for the last 12 months, between the port of Carentan, in Normandy, and Poole, in Dorsetshire. Fifty-four passages have already been made, and the amount of agricultural produce exported amounts to 1.050,000 f. which may be thus divided :—Butter, 356,000 f. ; salt pork, 81,000 f. ; barley, buck wheat, and other grain, 40,000 f. ; flour, 33,000 f. ; pou l try, 34,000 f. ; eggs, 283,000 f. ; oils, oil-cake, and sundry merchandise, 85,000 f..; milch cows meet a ready sale in England.; the small breed are preferred, and those about the price of 125 to. 260 f, Are boot suited for the English market, THE ARMY.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.—Jan. 12. (mom oun own connEsPoNDEra.) LAUNCH.—The public were gratified on Tuesday last with the launch of the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany's new steam-ship Vectis, of 1,000 tons , the first o f theirs built on the new prin c ipl e , without timbers, being all sold planking. She is the handsomest model of a steamyacket, notwithstanding her magnitude, ever launched upon the waters of the Medina. She was con structed by Messrs. John and Robt. White, on their " patented improved diagonal principle," and is intended to form one of a fleet of steam-packets, upon the new contract, to carry the mails between Marseilles and Malta, and vice versa. At 12.15, everything being in readiness, this splenidid production of the Whites' re ceived the name of Vectis from the patriarchal sire of the new firm, who, in his 80th year, pronounced the blessing with "God speed, and success to the first of the new breed," amid the hearty congratulations of some hundreds 'of spectators, among whom we observed several of the cognoscenti, and naval and scientific) gen tlemen. As soon as the noble craft was freed from the dogshores and cleets which held her, she glided majesti cally and slowly along her ways to her destined element. There was a strong breeze blowing from the westward • nevertheless she was forthwith warped into the M e di na , Dock, where she has been placed to be coppered and completed, prior to proceeding to London, to receive her 400-horse power engines, on the oscillating prin ciple, manufactured by Messrs. John Penn and Son. On any former occasion of a launch from the " modal arsenal" of the Messrs. Whiten brief notice was all that has been necessary, but as the Vectis is the first which has been constructed on an entirely new principle, destined to form a complete revolution in ship building, some few remarks will be necessary as regards the method on which she has been constructed. It would appear that the intro duction of iron ships into our leviathan steam companies, as well as into the navy, threatened for a while the anni hilation of wooden ships altogether. To meet the re quirements and reasonable demands of the various steam companies, and to counterbalance the advantages which iron ships possessed over those of wood, some improved method in the construction of the latter was absolutely necessary, in order to render them stronger and more buoyant, and carry a larger cargo, in proportion to their tonnage, with equal speed, to attain which objects the Messrs. White were induced to turn their attention -, and, after successfully making a series of experiments and models, at no inconsiderable cost, they at once satis fied themselves of the practicability of their plan, and undertook to build ships of any magnitude, and any de gree of sharpness, combined with all the requisites of speed and internal capacity—and this by a combination of planking, without the necessity of ribs or frame timbers. Their new mode of construction enabled them to produce vessels whose sides were only as thick as an iron ship with r ib s an d ce ili ng .. Th e frame being entirely dispensed with greater buoyancy was pro duced ; and the ships were consequently enabled to carry from 15 to 20 per cent. more cargo in dead weight, with equal speed ; or the same quantum of cargo as an ordinary built ship, but with greater speed in conse quence of being enabled to have finer lines. In the mode of construction, viz., two thicknesses of diagonal plank ing, and longitudinal planking outside, greater durability and safety were effected over the old method, and by the exclusion of vacant spaces, where foul air is generated from the bilge-water, or dirt collected in the openings, the plan was rendered more healthy. Moreover, in the new method, there is freedom from rats and other vermin, and, above all, the plan is particu larly adapted for men-of-war, from their being no iron strapping or iron knees, and the sides being solid there would be consequently less splintering from shots, and particularly healthy in warm climates. These improvements were thereupon patented by the Messrs. White, as an improved, - practicable method of building large vessels more than as a new scheme ; and feeling that they had bestowed considerable time and attention to the subject, in prosecuting their experiments, they consider themselves entitled to at least a recognition and some preference should the system they have introduced become generally adopted, remembering that vessels may be constructed on their method upon any lines, and conse quently on that question there would be no interference with another's mode of construction. Since every one's "lines" is the produce of their brains, and their brains their bread, it is, therefore, gratifying to find that the plans produced by these eminent architects were approved of by two of the greatest steam-packet companies in the world, and their confidence of the talents and practical knowledge of these gentlemen have led the Peninsular and Oriental Company to intrust them with the con struction of the Vectis, of 1,000 tons ; and the Royal West India Mail Company, at the same time, gave or ders to construct the Solent, a steam-ship of 2,000 tons, which is now building! by the Messrs. White] in their yard. Independent of which, they have also laid down the keel of another steamer to be of 450 tons, and to be constructed on the same method. Last week, a West Indianan, of 350 tons, was launched from the same yard, which was built on the diagonal principle, thus showing that the new theory can be carried into practice on a small as well as on a larg e scale, and is equally applicable for a merchant trader as fora mail steam-packet. ... than ve r been 4 o o i THE LAMBING - SEASON IN THE ISLE OF W IGHT. —A more have f a rmer lost has more never e known. lambs.
