A friend has sent us a list of her Majesty's steam vessels afloat and not yet completed, by which it appears there are 156 steamers afloat, of which 43 are not yet com pleted-27 of which are for paddles, and 16 with an ag gregate power of 6644 horses, or an average of 4151 horse power each vessel, for screws. The Terrible and Fervent, each' 1842 tons, are the largest steamers in the navy. They are both paddle steamers, and, with the Retribu tion, 1640 tons, have engines of 800 horse power each. The Simoon is the screw steamer with the greatest power, 780 horses ; when she is finished we shall see how her performances bear comparison with the three steamers (paddles) which are so near her own power. Next•comes the Vulcan (screw), with 700 horse power; then the Euphrates and Termagent, 620 horse power each ; the Dauntless, 580 horse power; the Greenock, 510 horse power, and many more of 400, 300, 200, and 100 horse power, will, by the time they are all in commission and have been tried, give us some very good idea of the prac ticability of the screw as a means of propulsion for war steamers. The steam-ships of war belonging to the French navy completed, in service, and in course of construction, only number 91 vessels altogether, of which number 19 are in course of construction, with an aggregate power of 5080 horses, or, on an average, 267 A horse power each vessel. The vessels the French have in course of construction are, one of 640, two of 450, six of 320, two of 220, six of 160, one of 120, and one of 100 horse power each. Although in numerical strength we can show a great superiority over our neighbours, we are, we fear, not in a position to rely too much ou our practical superiority. We have a number of completely useless vessels for the ordinary purposes of warfare, or, as experience has lately shewn us, even for the purpose of carrying the mails. Every crotchetty old commander with sufficient influence to get an appointment from the Admiralty, has been allowed to construct a steamer, and everybody knows that many vessels have been built in consequence that have turned out perfectly useless. As far as iron steamers, either for paddles or screws, are concerned, we are certain that Liverpool is behind no port in the world, nor her Majesty's dockyards, for turning out beautiful models, • substantial work, and engines and machinery that will defy competition. Let our war steamers be built by con tract, (always under superintendence,) and we are sure the country will be great gainers, both in cost and quality. CORPORATE AMENITIES.

When I told the man we would get a car for him, he seemed much pleased and gratified. A car was then got, and the man sent in it to the Union Workhouse. I paid the fare. I never saw the man again. _ On the Friday morning I had some ,Liaerman Butler.—l hope, my lord, there will be an end to these things. If Mr. Reynolds is to bully every member of the corporation in this manner, we must call conversation With Mr. Dolling and Mr. Peers. The man told me he lived on Edge-hill, where I don't know, and that he had been an hour and a half in walking from his ror protection from your not permit_Mr, Reyna know that I would and he said it would take him Union We khouse allow Mr. Reynolds to bully him in this manner, I would not permit it. " Mr. Reynolds.—Except when I bullied you about the sale of the knives and forks to the corporation. " Alderman Butler.—No, sir, no ! You dare not bully me when I was present the other day—you, and that d—d old carpenter! dty Mr. Tristram declined to ask this witness any questions. In answer to Mr. SMITH, a Guardian, the witness said he knew, from the rate-books, there was such a street as Back Bolton-street. It was in the neighbourhood of High-street and Bolton-street, Edge-hill. The man stated he was in great distress. He did not ask witness for relief. Ar. Fogarty (running down the room, and facinf Alderman Butler.)—What ! do you mean.me ? " Alderman Butler (facing in his turn.)—Ycs, oIC Fogarty, the d—d old sinner. The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr. Parker and other members. In reply to questions from Mr. Peers the witness said,—l remember you giving me an order to pay Mrs. Parkes 4s. 6d. on the Wednesday. I believe I paid her the 4s. 6d. on the day she was exa mined by Mr. Peers. The witness was evidently confused as to dates, and he explained that the payment of this 4s. 6d. enabled him to state that the examination was not on the 19th, as represented in the first instance, but he believed on the 23rd. He added that Mr. Peers put no leading questions to her, but merely put down her own statement. Remembered Mr. Peers giving Mrs. Parkes ss. on the evening of Friday, the•lBth. To Mr. Smith.—No one accompanied the man when he came to the office on his way to the workhouse. I did not see him get into the car, but I saw him when lie was a Alt:: Fogarty What ? " Alderman Butler.—Yes, you infernal old sinner anc room-keeper ! I'd kick you in a minute, you ruffian (Cries of Order.') " Mr. Fogarty.—Would you meet me like a gentleman? Would you appoint a friend, and I would meet you ? " Alderman Butler (shaking his umbrella).—l'd sooner kick you than blow your brains out, you ruffian ! " Alderman Butler here left the council, and thus ended the scene." The "d —d old sinner" intends bringing the " worthy" alderman into the Queen's Bench, and Mr. Reynolds is to move a vote of censure in the corporation upon the conduct of the umbrella-shaking functionary. Mr. C. B. Greatrex, of Moss-street, surgeon, and medi cal officer of the district of West Derby, was the next witness. He said, I gave the medical order now produced to Mr. Peers on the Friday week a fte r th e man's death. This order was signed by Mr. Tristram, and was to assist James Parkes, who died on Wednesday, the 16th Dec. To Mr. SMITH.—I received the order about six o'clock on the evening of the 15th. I did not see Jas. Parkes that night, but I sent him some medicine. Mrs. Parkes brought me the order and she described her husband's case as one of asthma, and said he had been ill fourteer 'ays.

At a numero us meet i ng of the Proprietors, held at the Com pany's Of f ices, 25, Pall Mall, on the 26th instant, it was shown by the Report of the Auditors and Directors— That this Company was the first to Assure DISEASED AND INVALID LIVES in a systematic manner, and on the same safe and defined principles as those on which ordinary Offices assure Healthy Lives; and that at the present it is the only Company furnished with scientific and well-constructed Tables showing the duration of life in the different classes and Various stages of disease. That the Public have felt the urgeur'grcessity for a Company established on such principles, wag rendered manifest by the fact, that during the period of ifte years in which the Society had been in business, no lesS than 2051 Proposals had been made to it, covering As.curancey to upwards of One Million of money.

In the first part, and also in the second, Mr. Sinclair evinced almost all, if not al- , the powers that he displayed in earlier life as a singer. His ballad, " Come sit thee down," written by himself, and the music also composed by him, is worthy of all commendation, as respects senti ment, and the feeling with which he sings it gives a double zest.

A special meeting of the Board of Guardians, for the West Derby Union, was held yesterday, for the purpose of investigating into certain charges against Mr. William Tristram, one of the relieving officers of the union. The investigation was conducted by Mr. Austin, Assistant Poor-law Commissioner. There was a moderately full attendance of guardians. The charges against Mr. Tristram were contained in the following resolution :—" It having been stated to the Board by Mr. Peers, a member thereof, and one of the Overseers of the township of West Derby, that James Parkes, labourer, recently and suddenly deceased, had ap plied to the Relieving officer of the West Derby District in this union, on Tuesday, the 15th December instant, for relief for himself and family, consistinc , of a wife and fou r young children, the said James Parkes labouring at the time under a severe asthma, so that he was wholly un able to work ; that the said application was made at the workhouse during the sitting, of the ,Guardians, and that the said Relieving Officer dismissed the applicant without taking him before the Board, without relieving him, and without afterwards visiting him or his family, who, as it has been ascertained, were at the time in a condition of perfect destitution, as to food of any kind. That the said James Parkes with great difficulty reached his home, a dis tance of about a mile from the workhouse ; and that on arriving he told his wife, as Mr. Peers is informed, that his heart was broken, and he died the next day. It was resolved, that this case be duly investigated by this Board, and that all parties acquainted with any circumstances re lative thereto be requested to give evidence thereon. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Poor-law Commissioners, with a respectful request that the Assist ant Poor-law Commissioner do attend to conduct such inquiry, and that an early day, not being a Board day, be appointed for that purpose.—JouN SHEPPARD, Chair man. The proceedings commenced by a statement from Mr. PEERS, the main facts of which will be found contained in the following evidence : Mr. Peter Bradshaw, of Prescot-street, Low-hill, was the first witness. His examination, like that of all the other witnesses, was taken upon oath, and the questions, in the first instance, were put to him by Mr. PEERS. He said, I am a rate-book clerk and assistant-overseer of the township of West Derby. On Wednesday morning, when Mr. Peers entered the Public-office, I asked him what the Board had done with a poor man who was suffering from asthma ? He said he did not recollect such a case, and asked his name. I did not tell him the name, but I described his person ; and then Mr. Peers said, " I believe it will the same man I saw retirinv frnm the TTn;nn ess for )uld die could not walk, he might stop in the house—that there was the house for him. I told Dr. Greatrex they said he might go into the house. I sent the medical order down to Dr. Greatrex by my little boy at six o'clock. He sent word he could not come, as he had been his rounds, but that I must come down to him. I went at eight o'clock, and the doctor gave 'Ole two pills and told me to apply a mustard poultice. He did not give me mustard to make the poultice ; I found that myself. I did not say any thing then to the doctor about relief. I applied the mustard poultice. I bought the mustard, which cost a halfpenny. The doctor called at two o'clock the follow ing day, and said he did not think he could do anything for my husband, as his hands and his ears were going quite black, but if I would go to his house h e wou ld g i ve me some pills for him. I told him then what distress we were in, and he, said he would give nu tram, if Mr. Tthtram had not bee let me leave him, and my little 1 Tris )uld no note to Mr did not take any message static.,, not been, as I thought I would go myself the next morn• ing.

My husband did not tell me how long he waited at the house; but he said he had to stop twenty or thirty times before he could get home. The first time I saw Mr. Peers was on the Friday night after my husband's death. I remember Mr. Peers calling at my house on the Monday morning following. He asked me if I was going before the board on the Tuesday, and I said "Yes." He said he would do without my going, and would get me 6s. a week.

It was on the day I got the 4s. 6d. that Mr. Peers took my statement down in writing. Before he took clown my statement, he told me to tell nothing but the truth, for it would be inquired into. The statement was read over to me. Mr. Peers did not question me, but told me to give the circumstances as they occurred.
