THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the NEW ZEALAND COMPANY hereby give notice that the uniform price of Country Lands in the Company's Settlements is about to be advanced to 255. per acre, but that in consideration of the expectation entertained by numerous intending Purchasers and Emigrants, that payment from them would be received at the present rate of 20s. per Acre, it has been deemed right to give some notice of the intention of the Court. And notice is hereby given accordingly, that such ADVANCE of PRICE will take place from and after the Ist day of NoVember next ; 75 per cent. of the purchase money being, as heretofore, exclusively devoted to Emigration, with the usual allowance of 60 per cent. to buyers who be come actual settlers.

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely cut of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is me member of society, by whom the book will not he found interesting, whe ther we consider such person te hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation if its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and lesponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultiruidely the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find arclue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth : and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea. eause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished.

TO THE EDITOt OF THE LEEDS TIMES. SlR,—Perceiving that public attention in your vici nity is attracted to the proceedings at Rochdale on the subject of Church -rates, I take the opportunity of ..ad dressing myself to that question. ~ ~Y^ x 4 „~ And here we may start with laying it down as a prin ciple, that no man in this world must expect to have too absolute or abstract justice. As the proverb avers that each of us in his time must eat a peek of dust, so we cannot be rigorously nice about the purity of everything presented to our swallow ; all we can stand upon is, that certain limits shall not he passed, as for instance, that we shall not be invited to eat dirt because it is dirt, or have the disagreeableness of swallowing increased by having our attention drawn to the fact that it is dirty, and that we are to be made to swallow it by force. Now there was manifestly a great deal of uncleanly injustice about the advancement of the principle, that after an overbearing and ill-conducted religious domina tion (for such there is no doubt the power of the Church of Rome in England had merged into) had been upset by a combination of circumstances mainly based after all upon popular disapproval, the rich in vestments of that Church should have been seized upon and appropriated in perpetuity to one sect or segment only, among the many that did or ever might exist. It was a hard thing, for instance, that the tithes and Church lands, or such 'of them as did not find their way into the hands of the lay innovators of the time, should have been seized at one gulp, for a single sect or segment of religious belief, to the exclusion of all others for all time. It might be a great oversight in the captors, that they did not in some way attach the enjoyment of the prize, to something like a fair division among the different creeds which were or were to be ; and that instead of this they should have proclaimed, that the portion of the public property set apart for the maintenance of professed religious teachers, was to belong to the proprietors or their representatives so long only as they should continue firmly to believe in certain dozens of articles which certain scores of individuals should agree then and there to indite. All this may have been profoundly foolish and unreasonable, when examined through the glasses of modern judgment and improved experience. But still there was excuse. Men were bolting in a hurry out of one religious tyranny, and it was not so wonderful they should bolt into an other. The thing too is gone by, and to a great extent buried in the shadows of antiquity. To demand to cast back, and secure a fair share •f the tithes and of cathedral lands, to all present and future Muggletonians, Jumpers, and Seceders of whatever hues or dimensions,—though abstractedly nothing but just and what honest men would be as anxious to grant as to demand, and what per haps at no very remote period will actually take place through the agency of the irritation constantly main tained upon the sore,—does yet possess a portion of the difficulty which might attach to righting all the wrong that was done at the Norman conquest. And for that very reason there is a disposition in the public to evade, postpone, and deny themselves the enjoyment of that great act of national equity, at all events till rage for justice shall be roused by some huge mismanagement of the possessors of the spoil. And accordant with this, are the phenomena we see, or rather we do not. The clergy in England are no where found depriving themselves of the pacific recreations of their order, and calling out growling grenadiers and crusty corporals in defence of their right to lands and rents, or even of their less popular claims to tithe. This never was enough to make a raw. The clergy must therefore ingeniously establish one by other means. And the recipe the heads and leaders hit upon, was this ; for really the inferior clergy do not seem to be the men to blame. They said, let us first take all we can for ourselves, and because the inferior clergy then cansparenothing,letuslke. T lay a tax for sheep of co for ehurche u a rs p e enses on the sheep and goats alißill not complain ; and for the goats, what are we shep herds for if we have no dogs. And thus they contrived to establish a source of grievance, where every man might draw his irritation fresh and fierce ; a store where all tempers and appetites might suit themselves with a wron g to fit. The man who soared to theology, might mingle doubts about the sacramental forms, with his vul gar regrets at being made to pay for wine he did not mean to taste ; while the man of more lath-and plaster habits, might scowl over the sums taken from him to keep out rain with which he was in no danger of being wet, and calculate the diminution that must in consequence he made in the comforts of his own hete rodox snuggery. If ever there was an invention for establishing a stout resistance at a cheap rate, it was this. The principal arguments advanced for this impolitic imposition, arc three. That it is law ; that the com plainants got their property subject to the rate ; and that it is a privilege of the true Church. Of which in order. And first that it is law ; the more's the pity. So was the s4aie-tracle law ; so was the burning of here tics law ; in fact the law as it is, is only ca•.iterizing the heretic .to a somewhat smaller extent. And this leads to the secret, that tha only way in .this_country.to.sct_ any limit to the' injustice of laws, is to suffer against them, to raise popular sympathy agairist them, and to assail them on every point where the most damage can he done them at the least comparative loss. In a coun try where the law is avowedly not a compact between ,he different members of the community . for mutual good, but a compact among certain classes for obtaining the greatest practicable good for themselves through ' the evil of the others, backed by all kinds of institutions and created interests for giving efficiency and certainty to the wrong,—in such a state of things, for a man to speak of supporting the law because it is the law, is like a negro's professing to support the whip because it is the whip. Make the sources of law-making honest and pure, and then there may be some claim for for bearance towards the defects of the law. But while the sources are avowedly dishonest and impure, and all manner of pains are seen taken to preserve them so, submitting in silence to injustice because it is the law, is a mere question of prudence in the sufferer. If he thinks he can do more good by braving the law, than will be balanced by the evil to himself; and feels disposed to make himself a sacrifice for the community, he is in the right to do it, and claim a martyr's honours whether on the great scale or on the small. It is the approved recipe, whether as applied by the martyrs under the bloody Queen, by Hampden against ship-money, or John Thorogood against Church rates. To resist an unjust law, at some expense of personal safety or comfort, is the true way to collect forces for its removal ; and he who proffers himself to bell the cat, is everywhere and always will be, the hero of popular admiration and support. And next, that the complainants got their property subject to the rate ; which is the crack argument a party leader in the House of Commons shall utter, and then turn round to his little boys behind, and bid them cheer as if he had spoken oracles. Suppose, then, a certain per centage, it matters not whether fifty, five, or one per cent., were taken from the properties of the landed aristocracy, for some purpose extremely hostile to their wishes and interests, or at all events to keep up some establishment of which they would have no en joyment. and by which would be entailed on them the necessity of expending the same money over again for an establishment of their own. Of what use would it be to ask at some future time, whether the purchasers of land had nat bought cheaper iu consequence ? It might be true of the purchasers ; but where there was a first purchaser, was there not a seller ? Put it to any man, put it to Sir Robert Peel himself, whether if there was injustice to begin with in taking tins per centage front the property of the landowners and their representatives, it would be anything but babyism or intended fraud that should ar gue that the evil was null and void because there was a race of after purchasers who had not suffered. The Dissenters were wronged by an unjust impost—one which the sect established under the title of the Esta blishment would talk of resisting to the death if the question were of levying it under the name of Peter's pence upon themselves. The whole value of the Dis senters' property for ever, was diminished by the amount of the unjust impost ; and the Dissenters are to hold their peace forsooth, because some property has since been bought by Dissenters at a reduced price as being subject to the impost. By the same rule Dr. South wood Smith might have his skin taken off, upon the plea, that if he ever purchased an anatomical subject without a skin, he would pay a reduced price accord ingly. Pay the Doctor for his own skin ; or what he will like still better, spare him the parting with it all. But there is more yet. Do no Dissenters build houses, and find the income from their brick and mortar diminished by precisely the value of the Church•rate ? Do none of them create establishments, manufacturing or other, and find the Church-rate coming upon them in consequence, the owners all the time being under a vir tual necessity of paying over again for the support of their own worship. in 'proportion to their rising means and standing in the world ? Sift and turn it with all the art of all the little great men in the House of Commons, and it comes to nothing but this—that you arc to reckon all the cases where neither the Dissenter nor the Churchman is touched by the consequences of Church rates at all, and you are to put out of sight all the cases in which the Churchmau gets something he likes for his money, and the Dissenter gets worse than nothing, to wit the contumely of being an enforced cont r ibutor to the expenses of a sect he does not approve, he all the while going to the further expense of supporting one of his own. • And now far the last, that the Church is the true [ . Church. Every man would be the true man on the highway, and all the rest hie payers and subsidizers, if society had not had the sense and power, by dint of gyves and gallows, to establish something like a ratienal composition upon the question. And the composition is briefly this that the true man shall take what is Lis own, but shall not by virtue of his truth be allowed to take what is his neighbour's ; to which may added the further complication by way of corollary, that a majority of true men shall take a majority's share, but that no possible majority, of men possessed of eve) so true truth, shall be entitled to take the whole, or all that other people have. And here stands the Church's quarrel. She says, I am true and I am a majority, therefore I will have all. And on the other side stands the com munity in general, waiting for a little more spread of knowledge and a little more equalization of power, to reduce the rampant sect to something accordant with the common sense and practice of mankind. But there is another point to fight. Not only has the oppressive sect no right to rob because she is the true ; but she is not the true. That is to say, there are great holes in her claim to be what she declares herself, which give large room for rallying popular opposition to the insolence of her demands. Far be it from any sane man, to set himself up as a judge of what is abstractedly true. But there aro certain limits of circumstances, within which all men of years of discretion claim a power of pronouncing upon truth or its contrary. And among these acci dents, none is more decidedly operative, than the fact of a sect having risked the declaration that it is esta blished upon a certain written rule. This was in fact the accident, which blew up the power of the Church of Rome among our forefathers ; men from an accumulation of causes bethought themselves of comparing with the rule, and then up went the Church. And this ra tional procedure is of no limited application, and re quires the concession of no step previous to its time. It may be exemplified wherever there is an acknow ledged written rule ; as, for instance, with the Koran. If there were no direction there, fur instance, for ab staining from wine and observing certain fasts, then the authorities who insist on those things on the ground of their being in the written rule, would (with reserva tion always of the almost infinite allowance to be made for human weakness and the power of self-deception) be impostors and knaves. if anybody on the other sid e maintains that the " true believer" 'beyond the Danube is taught that women have no souls, and that his book contains indecencies and immoralities, the hook beiug there to disprove it to all who have the ability to read—the maintainer runs the risk of being rated as an ignorant blockhead, in exact proportion to his opportunity of knowing better. Modern Libe rals, in the plenitude of their liberality and in their orn for the pretensions of their adversaries, are not in g eneral aware what a dangerous step has been made by any sect or party, when it avows a written r ule. It might be utterly in vain to try to carry any considerable masses to question the authority of the rule, even if you were prepared to deny it yourself. Bat it is the easiest thing in the world to lead people to exa mine the accordance of a sect with its own rule, particu 'ark- when that sect has made itself odious by insolence in all directions. The established sect, then, builds a right to insult people and take their money, on the boast that it is true ; that is to say, that its forms, its dignities, and its constitution are. according to the written rule which is in the hands of all of us. The struggle is, in fact, for the divine right of bishops ; and the thesis advanced on our side is, that the word bishop, and all thereto pertaining, in its modern and actual construction, is a fallacy, a fraud, or an apostle would have expressed his meaning, if he had it, by a still less conciliatory form of speech ;—a grand untruth, got up and nursed by that corporate interest which never dies, and dandled from age to age into a maturity of hobgoblin. Bishop, as everybody may be supposed t o k now , i s Episcopus, Piscopus, Biscopus, Rishopus, _Bishop : and in all the languages in the world where the thing is known, the terms, however apparently different, may be traced to the same source. Now episcopus, as any body who did not know before may know when he is told, is Greek for overseer; if you had shut up a Greek fisting till he had translated for you the word overseer, he could not have done it more literally ; it is the proposition epi " over." and the verb seopeo " to see," or if preferred, the noun seepos " seer." And this Greek word is of ordinary use in the New Testamoot. The question, therefore is, whether it ever meant any thing like a bishop, and whether it did not mean something as opposite as well can be. If it de cidedly meant the first, then the plea against us is good ; if the other, then it is an ungentlemanly falsehood, to be resisted by any kind of martyrdom which gentlemen may like to bare recoUrSe to. Which of these it is, must be settled, as our ancestors did such things, by candid examination of the facts, founded on such book-learning as may be thereto re quired. And now then for my father's Concordance, which he very likely had by his side, when he was pelted with eggs new and old, for preaching what he thought right in his time, even as I do in mine. The first place where the Greek word above given occurs, is in Acts xx. ; and there it is translated, not bishops, but overseers. And for this good reason, that the transistor had before his eyes, that the persons spoken of were as like bishops, as corporals are to field-marshals. They were the elders (presbyter; ) of the Church of Ephesus. " And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the Church. Anti when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, &c. And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 'rake heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost bath made you over seers, to feed the church of God." It was plain that the great Apostle was not playing the part of an arch bishop who bad asked two or three bishops to dinner, but doing something much more like Napoleon when he called out the non-commissioned officers of a batta lion, and harangued them in a few pithy words, as the most effective means of rapidly communicating with the rank and file. The thing was too palpable, and there fore we hear of no bishops there. The next place is in the letter of the same Apostle to the Philippians, i. 1. " Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi,' with the bishops and deacons." The translator might as well have said with the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, for there were just as many at Philippi. Indeed, it is rather hard, that we have never heard of the divine right of alder men ; for it would be a very fair translation of the word which is rendered " elders." What these bishops at Philippi were is clear enough. They were the sonic kind of men that came from Ephesus, the spiritual overseers, class-leaders it may be, of something (as Paley observes) very much like a Methodist society ; while the diaconi, whose name is from the Greek word for dust, were individuals who, having no gifts for spiritual leadership, made up for it by temporal ser vices, such probably as holding the plate for contri butions of the members, and perhaps sweeping out the meeting-house for love. At all events they were something as different as possible, from dapper young men with their pig-tails thrust under their neckcloths lest they should not pass, and declaring themselves moved by the spirit of God to take upon them the in come of a family living, as has been the parallel jake to the joke of bishops. The next place is in the first letter of the same Apostle to Timothy, iii. 1, 2. " This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireals a good work." Timothy was at the head of the Church at Ephesus, where the Apostle (i. 3.) had " besought him to abide ;" this office, therefore, which men at Ephesus were represented as desiring, was not headship, but something they were more likely to get by wishing for ; as unlike, in short, to all we understand by a bishopric, as John Thorogood may be to my Lord of Exeter. It was a class -leadership that was the object of these early Christians' amb ition ; and my Lord of Exeter would require to be purged of much unspiritual matter before lie was fined down to the simplicity of these old-world saints. Read the directions that next follow, and see how much better they apply t o a non-commissioned e sband of one officer than to a bis ho p . " An overseer then (sa y bla gTn e ie le n s t s' in th h the se u rvice in w hi c h corporal) v,,ife (tlie re m i u s st be not ot a re it would not be an objection if he had two), vigi lant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality (meaning that he would give a portion of his ration to a comrade that had none), apt to teach ; not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre ; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous ;" an d so on. " Not a no vice (who ever made a bishop of a novice ?) ; moreover he must have a good report of them which are without. Likewise the deacons (who were a sort of lance corpo rals), grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine e , that irss forgery t rrga,,g l r i ey e n s ot e sr aoirreaaudvidree.)rcyt humble b fo l e r t e f i e i o e v k e r n r e o s st w e n ot greedy of filthy lucre." Does not ev er y man see, pickinge e n l a t s i , n o i d s u conscience t s s c aa i tl e l t o i The next is in the same Apostle's letter to Titus, his "own son after the common faith," whom he had left in Crete, to " set in order the things that are • wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee ; if any be blameless, the husband of one wife (the same di rections for choosing non-commissioned officers), hissing faithful children, not accused of ri • ot or unruly. her (a Bishop, gramercy, they might as well have said a Master of the Horse) a man who is to be an overseer of others, (meaning manifestly the elders aforesaid) must be blameless," &c. Now is not this foul, is not this dis 1:011rit t it bat it jttaQt ilia Nita tit tyak# It eotnes to be timid down mon% thronta With Thorogood's sauce? Not' that it is to be laid to the charge of any individual man, trim said to himself as in Solomon's days," Let us go and be a very great rascal ;" but it is an example of what comes by the corporate spirit in religious matters, where each in his turn—con triltutas a little, to strangthen the Baal of the common idolatry. The last instance is in the first letter of Peter, ii. 25 ; ana presents as tine an example of the " pious fraud," as ever seas pulled to pieces by the Refui mere at Paul's Cross. The writer is addressing; " the stran gers scattered throughout Asia," in language r.•hich Lon ginus or Mahornmed, if they understooJ the terms, would have recognised as appropriate and pathetic. He says to them, " For ye were as sheep going astray ; but are now returned unto the shepherd and guardian of -your souls." And here some miserable creatures thought they could hitch in a bishop. 'ntcy positively imagined the complimentin,z of Jesus of N.•z;:reth, with raising hint to the pencil. The Spanish regiment whit h keeps a chair at the head of the mess-table for the Virgin di ary who is their Gdonel, is hardly a match for it. Whether all this is blasphemy er not, those skilled in such matters best know. But whether is bathos or tint, is within any ordinary man's appralien- But there is one place more (Acts xx.), where cot the word bi•h. - ,p but one of its connected terms, is foisted in under circumstances which might have moved a smile from the gravest of the Apostles who knew the man. A passage in the Psalms is applied to Judas Is cariot, where it is said, "and his office let another take." Now, Judas's office was to bear the bag. And this they have mistaken for a bishopric. Is a Church whose eiti.inns rest on such ridiculous forgeries on the written rule it professes to depend on, to be indulged by plain men in bullying them upon the ground of its being the tree Church, no r more than any other of its pretexts for injustice ? The time seems to be favourable for setting up a new Protestantism, or a new sect of some kind. Why will men who lire in glass houses, insist on putting John Thorogood within stone walls ?—Your's, very siric rely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. London, 19th August, 1640. MANCHESTER and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. The general half-yearly meeting of this Company took place on Friday at the York Hotel, Manchester, and was numerously attended, about one hundred gen tlemen being present. Thomas Ashton, Esq., of Hyde, the Cnairmanof the Board of Directors, presided. After some preliminary business, T. Wheeler, Esq.. the law-clerk, read the report of the Board of Di rectors, from which it appears that the six miles of the line which had been opened between Manchester and Stockport had now been in use for thirteen weeks, and during that period there had been conveyed upon it 175,981 passengers ; being at the rate of 18,585 per week. The receipts have been 4,9551.; a -.sum which has ar:son entirely from the carriage of -passengers and small parcels, the arrangements of the Company not yet admitting of the transmission of goods. The general statement of accounts up to July 31, 1810, showed that the receipts amounted to 842 G 471. 14s. 1 1 d., and the expenditure to 895,9141. lls 5d., leaving a balance of 53,446/. 16i. .6d. due by the Com pany. The statement ot traffic account, from the opening' on the 4th of June to July 31, 1840, showed a net balaueo 012,2631. Is. Oa tl.e tn)tioti tor the adoption of the Report being put, several questions were asked by shareholders, principahy in reference to the amount of arrears. It was stated that about 50,0001., or 21. per share, were in arreil-s, but that the Directors had taken steps for bringing the defaulters to a bearing, or forfeiting the shares. A question wtls put touching the agreement with the Grand Junction Com pany, out the Directors declined entering into partieu lais, simply stating that they b, heved it would prove much mot., advantageous than a similar agreement win.:h the Grand Junction Company had entered into with the Liverpool and Manchester Company. Mr. G. R. Chappt 11, one of the Directors, read a statement, showing that the receipts on this line per mile, durier,• - :; the thirteen weeks it had been open, had much exceed ed those of imy of the great lines recently opened, duri:ig the similar period. The retiring Directors were re-elected. thanks were voted to the Directors and to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAIL WA Y. The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held on Monday afternoon, at the Cutlers' Hall, and was numerously attended. John Parker, Esq. M.P., having been elected by the Directors to supply the place of Lord Wharucliffe, as chairman of the Company, took the chair. The SECRETARY then read the Reprt. The engi neer's Report was read by the resident engineer. The MASTER CUTLER then moved, that the R.Torts be received and printed for distribution among tins shareholders. Mr. IRONSIDE rose to ask for an explanation of the cause of Lord Wharnechfrs retirement, and of the law suits pending. He had seen a letter in the Railway 'haws, signed " A Victim," complaining strongly of the Directors ; but, from what he heard, he supposed the writer had taken shares with a stew to make a profit by them, and, fitilinc., had victimized himself. The Cuaium AN said, as he had that morning taken his seat at the Board for the first time, he could not be personally conversant with what had passed ; but the other Directors might be able to give the required ex planation. The Directors having consulted for a few moments, John Sykes, Esq., said he had not the least unwilling ness to give a full explanation, if it were considered po litic, under the present circumstances to do so. But they all knew that the lawsuits were at present pend ing, and that it must be very difficult to make an ex plaaation that might not be prejudicial. Therefore unless the decided wish of the meeting were for a pre sent explanation, the Directors would rather defer it to another opportunity. He had no doubt that, when given, it would be found entirely satisfactory. Mr. EDWARD SMITH thought that the Directors had made a sound decision. To make such an expla nation now as should not prejudice the law proceed ings, and at the same time do justice to Lord \Vharn chile, would, no doubt, be very difficult, particularly as he understood there was some question as to the rights of ownership. He therefore thought the explanation had better be waived for the present. _ _ _ After the accounts had been received, and thanks voted to the Chairman, the meeting broke up.—Man chcster Guardian. PACIFIC STEAMERS. Extract of a letter from Captain Peacock, dated on board the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steam vessel Peru, lat. 9 15 N., lon. 25 50 W., out fourteen days front Plymouth :—" The Peru has hitherto had a most prosperous voyage, ans.vering in every respect my most sanguine expectations. Oa leaving Plymouth we experienced a head wind, with a heavy cross swell, until the evening of the following day, when I ordered the fires to be burnt down, blew out the boilers, and made sail. On this first trial of sailing, although deep, we got seven knots out of her. There was u good deal of swell on, and the vessel occasionally rolled deep, 1 6 ) f ut th a e ft i e .u r nn a el,minutelsawinn%otersitsigkato in,i n of lowe r t in h , e m it, oe a e n a d ble parts in eight minutes from the commencement I had the gratification to see it snug in the chock, without straining a rivet or a rope yarn. When the wind died away we had everything in its place again, and the fires alight in four minutes from hauling taut the main gears. The operation eli cited the admiration of every one on board, and the correct workmanship of the arrangement reflects the highest credit on Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co. The funnel, when down in the chock, lies within the letel of the paddle-box boats, and at a distance would resemble a long midship gun.

This was the greatest run under sail. The least was 140, and this was the fifth day of sailing, when near the edge of the variables. We only consume half a ton of coals per hour on the average, and find no difficulty in keeping steam, without the additional length of funnel. The null coals are ex cellent ; and, in my own, as well as the chief engineer's opinion, are superior to the Llauelly coals. The sails all fit admirably, and the engines work extremely well. The vacuum now exceeds 23 in both. I perceive the great advantage of Sir Wm.
