Her wheel is 19 feet in diameter ; and she carries 90 tons of coal in the engine -room. The nominal power of the two engines is 120 horse ; and, with water in the boilers, their weight does not exceed 15 cwt. per horse power. This is attri- butable to the mode of fixing, which can only be adopte in iron built vessels. The working parts are of wrought iron ; they are bedded upon the iron kelsall of the ship, and the frames built in upon the iron beams of the ship, thus saving all necessity of stays, and at the same time, from tha rigidity of the beams to which they are attaches, producing less vibration than we ever experienced in any other steamer. In appearance below the engines resemble more the skeleton movement of a watch, as compared with one of the old cumbrous construction, than anything else we can liken them to. The vacuum of the condenser is from 271 to 28 inches. The Clarence started on her trial trip from her moor ings in the Sloyne about 10.30; and proceeded down tne river, part of the time at half speed, to the Rock Light house, which we passed at 56 minutes past 10.

It has been resolved, by the advice of her majesty's inspector, to adopt a new arrangement of the schools, by which all the children, boys and girls, will be separated into three leading divisions, and placed, according to their age and attainments, either in the infant school, the middle school, or the higher school. By this classification and division of labour, the general efficiency of the schools will be in creased, and the more advanced girls will have the benefit of the head-master's instruction. The schools will be conducted on the same unsectarian principles upon which they have hitherto been founded. They are intended to promote education, and not to advance the interests of any sect or party." lc forward to losaession, and whict most probably ming to the genera .

The Produce markets having been closed since 'Wed nesday, opened to-day, but very little business was trans acted in almost any article. Holders, however, looking forward with confidence to the new year, have been tole rably firm in price To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD SlR,—The feeling amongst the Whigs at Lord Palmer ston's retirement is one of blank dismay, and they view it with poignant regret. _ _ Lord Granville, with all his youthful promise, will not command the confidence of the nation in the present cri . sis ; and all parties shrink from the sembl ance even of truckling to continental powers ; in short, the Cabinet is on its last legs. This un-English coup d'itat of Lord John Russell's is denounced by many of the club gossips as having been brought about by our Royal ouvrier, Albert, as the complement of the Crystal Palace peace offering of all nations. Mais nous verrons, when the time arrives for Lord Palmerston's explanation. At the West- End Clubs bets have been offered, that Lord Palmerston will come in as premier, and rally round him the mode rate Whig Protectionists, or join Lord Derby's adminis tration before Easter. In the meantime, Ministers are endeavouring to patch up the vacancies that must occur, by recruiting from the remnant of the young working Peelites ; but here again occurs a difficulty : are they secure in their seats ? Would Oxford return Mr. Ewart Gladstone; Ripon, Sir James Graham ; Cambridge, Mr. Goulburn ; or Liverpool, that precious trimmer, Mr. Cardwell ?" Without vouching for how much truth there may be in the current rumours of the London clubs, this 1 do knew, that Mr. Cardwell has been gliding about Liverpool for the last three weeks, without giving the constituency an opportunity of putting him throueh his facings, if indeed that were possible; for such is his adroitness in evading any questionlrequiring a simple Yes or No, that the im pression even amongst his personal friends is, that he has no political principles except such as will from time to time advance his own ends ; and were he again to appear as a candidate, the cry would be, 1 ' Vote Protestant, against Cardwell His votes on the Naviga- I, like Sir tion Laws and Papal Bill are not forgotten, aLs,-, J. Graham, he must look out for an Irish constituency. From what I know of Liverpool, I am satisfied that Mr . Cardwell has in reality no political friends there, although he gives out now that there is no difference between the Peelites and old Whigs. I sincerely trust, if he accepts office (and which be assuredly will do, if he can get it), that he will be opposed by Mr. T. B. Horsfall or Sir Thomas Hesketh. Failing these two, there is the Hon. Mr. Liddell, who was member for Durham, a staunch op. ponent of the repeal of the Navigation Laws ; Capt. Eger ton, who stood for Chester ; Mr. Cayley Worsley, Chairman of the National Association for the Protection of Native Industry ;—anybody, rather than Mr. Cardwell. Even Mr. Robertson Gladstone, with all his nitraism, would be a better choice ; he would not profess one thing and do another.--I am, Sir, &c. VERAX. London, Dec. 27, 1851. Deputy- THE LADIES' CHARITY.—The annual ball in aid of the funds of this truly ehristian charity, whose object is to extend succour in, and to alleviate the perils of, the hour of nature's sorrowing, takes place this evening, at the Town. hall, under distinguished patronage. This institution has claims to especial patronage, even on the ground of the length of time which it has been established ; but more particularly so from the great relief which it has been instrumental in affording to all worthy recipients, irres pective of creed, country, or other differences. No doubt for so worthy an object the attendance will be large. SOUTH CORPORATION SCHOOLS.—On Tuesday last, the half-yearly examination of those schools took place, before several of the members of the Town Council and other influential gentlemen, among whom we observed the Rev. Mr. Dover and the Rev. Mr. Carpenter. The children, who were all clean and neat in their appearance, acquitted themselves admirably, and evinced the great care and attention which had been bestowed upon them by the teachers (Mr. Riley and Mrs. Jenkins) and their assistants. The infant school children were also exa mined, and showed that they had been treated with extreme care, both as regards their intellectual and moral advancement. In the evening, the girls belonging to the music class, which practise there twice a week, gave a concert, which was attended by the parents of the chil dren. It passed off in the most satisfactory manner. ANOTHER RAILWAY Cor.LisioN.--On Saturday, be tween twelve and one o'clock at midday, as the mail train which leaves Birmingham at sia a.m. arrived near Liverpool, on the London and North-Western line, when between Huyton and Roby stations, the express train, due about the same time, came into contact with it, and several of the passengers by the former train received severe in juries. The mail train proceeded on to Liverpool, those who were injured bleeding profusely all the way. In one carriage six persons were very seriously, and three dan gerously wounded. One of them, Miss Rogers, of Huy ton, was oonveycil to the house of Dr. Bainbrigg, in Eshlgtoo-square, 4 N;lert . it was found that she had sus tamed crest injury in the head, the skull being in one place laid completely hare. The wounds were promptly dressed, but the young lady was too much injured to per mit of her return home, and she was conveyed to the house of a friend in Liverpool, where she is progressing favourably.

The two steamers started abreast, the Clarence having slacked speed for a time.

Although, as we have already observed, built with an eye to strength, light draught of water, and carrying powers, her lines below are beautiful, and particularly so in the bows. These have a fine hollowing ; and hence she makes no head water throwing it off her, in fact, from he r ce t wa t er , and again from the lower part of her bows, so that her wheels strike solid water, instead of, as in some steamers, the top of a wave of her own making. This feature was especially remarked upon by her future commander, Captain Wiseman, as an evidence that not an atom of her power was liable to be thrown away. As a proof of all her capabilities being made to tell in moving through the water, she leaves behind her, instead of a wake, like some vessels, scarcely a ripple. This fine vessel is advertised to sail shortly for Sydney, under the command of Captain Wiseman, who has super intended her fitting out, and will, we have no doubt, handle to the satisfaction of his owners, and of whatever passengers may accompany him, a vessel of which he has every reason to be proud. ,ess on fully-bred, --hall
