And so it is now, in an humble sense, by mere human hopes. Men may preach, and the world will listen, but profit comes by example. A parent, for in stance, inculcates gentleness to his children by many sound precepts ; but they see him treat his beast in a rude and angry manner, and, in consequence, his instruc tions are worse than lost, for they are neither heeded nor respected. His example, as a gentle and humane man, would have been sufficient for his children, without one word or command FRIENDLY ADVlCE.—Fathers ! before you put your sons in any particular path of life, study, if you can, their various dispositions, characters, talents, and capabilities. How often do we see men in the army or navy who, had they been allowed to follow their true bent, would have made excellent churchmen or lawyers, and who, on their fathers' death, quit the profession of arms for more genial pursuits. Again, how often do we see a languishing noncha lant clergyman, without feeling for his calling, perishing with ennui, who would have made a distinguished soldier but for the maternal will, which said " thatboy naustgo into the church !" Then again we behold a barrister detesting pen and ink, close, hot rooms, and law study and practice —a being whose aspirations and talents all pointed to the sea—but his father's taste pointed to an intellectual pro fession, and the boy, without the least love of study, or much aptitude for it, is dragooned, bon-ore malgre, to the bar.

Ales menes wrought his statue with all possible delicacy, finishing off to the eye the whole work to the minutest feature—a proceeding which gave exceeding pleasure to the neople, and increased infinitely the reputation of this sculptor. But Phidias, who, by the knowledge he had of optics, knew the effect which his figure ought to produce when it was raised to the place for which it was intended, made the face thereof of a monstrous width, the eyes staring horribly—the nostrils swollen—tbe mouth a gash, setting only strong and deep marks in the marble in those places where he wished his work to appear most delicate, without finishing or softening off any part— giving, in fine, to his statue a countenance capable of rror into the beholder.

His opinions with reference to the Church of Eng land may be gathered from the following extracts mad from his works :—" I, John Wesley, hold all the doctrines of the Church of England. I love her liturgy, I approves her plan of discipline." [TVesley's Sermon on the Mi nisterial Office.]—"We do net, we dare not separate e Church. Never let us make light of going to Minutes of Coilference, Ler by word R Scpa bn ii the Church." [De cember, 1780. Jon, —" If you are resolved, you may have your service in Church hours ; but remem ber, from that time, you will see my face no more. This struck deep, and from that hour, I (John Wesley) have heard no more of separating from the Church.' [Wes ley's last Journal.]—" They who dissuade people from attending the Church and Sacraments, do certainly draw them from the Church." [John Wesley's Letter, Dec., ~o Liturgy in the world, either .cmguage, which breathes more of a onal piety, than the Common Prayer [Preface to Tr eL - ley's Prayer rower and I closed the conference by a in ancient or modern solid Scriptural rat of the Church of England solemn declaration of our purpose, never to separate from the Church." [Extract from Minutes of Coaference, 25, 1756.]—" We believe that it would not be right us to administer either Baptism or the Lord's Supper, , s we had ^-- 'on so to do from those bishops succession from the Apostles." .]—" They no more take upon themselves to be priests than to be kings—they take not upon them to administer the Sacraments, an honour peculiar to the priests of God." [Wesley's Appeal to Men of Reason, part iii., vol. xii. p. 253.]—" I believe one reason why God is pleased to continue my life so long is, to confirm them (his followers)in the present purpose not to separate from the Church." [Wesley's Sermon on the Vinisterial Office.]—" In flat opposition to these I`de- comr whom we apprehend to b Wesley's Journal, vol. ii. p. 829 dare once more, that I will live and die a member of the Church of England, and that none who regard my judg ment or advice will ever separate from it." lohnWesiey's Further Thoughts on Separation from _the Church.]— Surely at a period when Romanis; and Pantheism are from opposite sides assailing the truth as it is in Jesus, the Methodists and the Church of England should en deavour to re-unite. Concessions on both sides would be necessary ; on the side of the Church it might be fairly conceded that Methodism should be attached to the Church of England, as Papal institutes are to the Church of Rbme, submitting to the general discipline, but preserving its peculiarities. Methodists might retain their conferences their classes, their chapels, their hymn books, and even their local preachers. On the other hand, the chapels would have to be episcopally licensed, and extempore prayer only used at class meetings, the Liturgy being strictly observed in the chapels; and the minister officiating in the chapels would have to be episcopally, ordained. It is to be feared that the pride of preachers would resist this, and yet this point the Church of England could not yield without renouncing her status as a Church. Surely there is nothing derogatory from true dignity, in receiving something in addition to what is now possessed. The past is not interfered with when the future is made regular. —Hook's Ecclesiastical Biography. THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY.. A correspondence has taken place between. the Bithei, of Exeter and the Earl of Shaftesbury, in reference to a statement made by Sir C. E. Eardlev at the meeting of the Protestant Alliance, charging the Rev. G. Prynne, of Plymouth, with having " interrogated a child in con fession as to her thoughts of uncleanness," and calling on the Bishop of Exeter to " exercise discipline on saoh of fenders," on pain of being considered " a' party to these offences," to which the Earl of Shaftesbury, as Chairman, added that " if they could not bring the Diocesan to exer cise discipline over the Ministers, they would bring' public opinion to exercise discipline over the Diocesan." The Earl of Shaftesbury having in hisanswer, enclosincsletter from Sir C. E. Eardley, admitted the substantial correct ness of the above statements as reported, the &shop in his reply says : Sir Culling being a Dissenter, I do not deem ityneces sary to make any remark on anything which he may have said. But as your Lordship, if I mistake not, professes to be a Churchman, I cannot doubt that, before you per mitted yourself to use the language which you avow, you had ascertained that there is some law of the- Church which visits with ecclesiastical censure such conduct on the part of a Clergyman as was narrated by, Sir Calling Eardley. I therefore undertake to enable your Isprdship, on your making a regular complaint, to proceed against any Clergyman of my diocese whom you may charge with any ecclesiastical offence whatever. Meanwhile, your Lordship must permit me to express my astonishment, that if not your feelings as-a Church man, yet at least your courtesy as s gentleman, and even your sense of ordinary decency, did not restrain , you from venting such a menace before such an assembly against one whose office at least entitled him, to some respect. And this astonishment is not diminished by; my finding that, even when your words are brought to-your notice in an hour of calm consideration, you, seem tchbe perfectly unconscious of having violated even common decorum. And yet your Lordship ought not to need-to.be reminded of the well-known rebuke given by a wiser man than I am to a nobleman not less eminent or less wise thanyourself— " When men in your rank lose decorum, they lose every thing." At the same time the Bishop enclosed to the Noble Earl a copy of a letter, written by him. to.a gentleman at Stonehouse, in answer to an application, on the same sub ject, of which the following is the substance : I am very sorry to find thatoccasion of scandal has been given by Rev. Prynne, and I shalt not be backward in taking such a course as shall seem. to be due both to the. Church and to him. You must, however, be aware that a Bishop has not (and certainly ought not have) a des. potic power over any of his Clergy. He can proceed against them only for actual offences against the law, not for matters in which the law leaves a discretion to them, even though the Bishop himself, as well as others, may think that they do not exercise a sound discretion. It is also necessary, before the Bishop can take any.pro ceedings, that there be a regular complaint, founded on the positive allegation of some offence against ecclesiasti cal law, and this by parties connected with the parish. Statements in newspapers cannot properly be made the ground of any proceeding. I have not seen, nor am I likely to see, nor should I attend to, any statements in the newspapers to which you refer me. Common jotice re quires that Clergymen be dealt with in the same manner as other persons, both as respects the admissionof charges against them and as regards their protection against irre gular accusations. I have thus informed you of the course which I feel it my duty to observe in all such cases. If any parishioner of Mr. Prynne shall make such a charge,, and in such a form, as shall be fit to be entertained, he will find sea ready to entertain it. The Earl of Shaftesbury has since addressed to the Bishop the following rejoinder : Lord Shaftesbury presents his compliments to the Lord Bishop of Exeter, and thanks him for a sight of the letter addressed by him to a gentleman at Stonehouse, which, however, Lord Shaftesbury cannot regard as by any, means satisfactory. Lord Shaftesbury had no intention of giving offence to the Lord Bishop, and he regrets that his Lordship should consider himself aggrieved ; he trusts, however, that the Lord Bishop will find relief by the letter that Lord Shaftesbury has had the honour to receive from him.

OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK Stove, Conservatory, Greenhouse, &e.—ln our last we recommended an early application to the securing a stock of young plants for autumn, winter, and spring display ; we also alluded to such plants as were struck from cut tings : we now call attention to those which should be raised from seed, and which, if sown at the proper time, are now ready for potting, such as Chinese primroses and cinerarias, which are worthy attention. Very many plants would be available for spring show, if properly ma naged ; thus polyanthuses, hepaticas, scillas, winter aco nites, the beautiful shrubs Deutzia scabra, Jasminum nudiflorum, Forsythia viridissima, and two or three of the Berberis tribe, never look so well as when cultivated in pots and slightly forced ; they can then be brought into the greenhouse, and assist much in supplying that want of flowers so much felt in the spring of the year. Flower Garden.—The excessive wet leaves little to be done besides mowing grass and keeping the borders free of weeds, which appear with magical celerity. Biennials, where they have shed their seed last season, will be springing up in all directions, and these self•sown plants should be secured and carried to the reserve ground, or planted where it is wished they should flower. They always form the beat specimens. Those sown in the seed beds should be picked out without delay, the weather being so favourable. Kitchen-Garden.—The ground is gradually ykfcling the various crops with which it has been stocked ; as it becomes clear prepare it immediately for others, as celery, savoys, kale, broccoli, &c. MISCELLANE CFUCORY will turn out to be one of the most important agricultural as well as horticultural roots that, perhaps, Nature has ever given us. Every part of it is of great value—top and bottom, blanched for salads ; green for cattle, sheep, and lambs; roots for cattle as well as for coffee, 8.3 c. Immediate attention should be given to it. Every seed merchant possesses the seed of it, and it is exceedingly cheap. If chicory was largely grown by the cattle and sheep farmers, much less-disease would prevail, and more milk and butter would be produced, and more healthy meat, as it is so fine a bitter and purilier of the blood. This root is largely grown in Yorkshire, to mix with coffee. Our fault is, that by trying to get a large crop we injure the flavour.—James EstThill , Camberwell. ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIIONS. BVRNING THE BIBLE. For some time past the streets of London have been infested by a parcel of dirty people in the dress of Roman Catholic ecclesiastics. There are few of our metropolitan readers but must have come across some of these gentry in our most crowded thorough fares. They generally hunt in couples.- A more unpleasant sight cannot be encountered in the course of a mornings walk than a brace of these dirty creatures as they glide about amongst the people with downcast eyes and hasty step. Of course, the object is to familiarise the public with their presence. if Cardinal Wiseman and his Privy Council in Golden-square could once, in defiance of the English law,- establish the custom,. we should soon have our street crowds diversified with every conceivable costume of monkery. It is- notorious that when the ROman Catholic Relief Act was passed a clause was introduced, enacting- " that no Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, nor any member of: any of the religious orders, communities, or societies-- of the Church of Rome, bound by monastic or religious vows, should 'exercise any of the rites or ceremonies of the Roman Catholic religion, or wear the habits of his order; save within the usual places-, of worship of the Reiman Catholic religion, or in private houses." Such' is the law of England, and' it is perfectly well known to the persons who have for some time past set it at defiance. It cannot be said that'this is an old worn out regulation. such as. the one which forbade - undertakers to- bury the dead in-linen shrouds.. The same provision was, no doubt, introduced into various old statutes ; but when thee-Roman Catholic-R e li e f Bill was passd in 1829, its was retained,, and solemnly re-enacted. Nor is there any reason why such a provisionshould he suffered to fall into-, desuetude. The , Roman Catholic- chieftains have not eontentei themselves , with sending their noisome emissaries , about the streets ; it would seem as though they had issued. orders directing them to disturb the Protestant con gregations -while engaged in the celebration.of public worship. To put the existing law in force is, then, . a simple act of self-defence. But evemewere it not for this. additional aggravation, the reasons for maintaining the law in 1852 are stronger than they were for enacting it in 1829:: It was supposed at , the time-that the presence of Roman: Catholic priests—the-passage of &imam Catholic-precessiona , through the-public streets—naight lead to a violathre, of the peace. The same danger exists still, and to: a yet greater extent. We do not praend- to argue the point as feeling any espedal sympathy for per.- sons who, .with their eyes -open, set the law at defiance. Still it would be a deplorable' thing, and a great reflection upon those who arecharged with the duty- of maintaining the public peace, if, from want of timely forethought, any broil . should occur in the thoroughfares of the metropolis-. It would only need, It:brace of P-e.eeeslionists, a rabble of little boys, and a gang of Irish badmen, to-get up a :ow which might lead to the most seeious casualties, possibly‘to the loss of life. It wilt be seen that the Queen, by a proclamation issued on:Tuesday, has expressed thedetermination of the government to put down thenuisance. The proclamation itself will be found subjoined. It is therein, stated that the Roman Catholic ecclesiastics do wear the habit of their orders in places of public resort—that Roman Catholic processions, with all the pomp,. pride, arid circumstances usual cm such occasions, do perambulate our streets—that banners are displayed—symhoh elevated:in the publieeview, and that consequently the peace of the town is en dang.ered. The offenders are solemnly warned that the law will be put in force against them to its fullest extent if they, give further occasion of public scandal. We trust that strict orders may he hence forth issued to the police to conduct them to the nearest station-house.. We would not—all consi derations of turmoil apart--have the streets of London become as the streets of Rome, along which swarms of unwashed-beings in robes-black,, white, brown, or grey, are.to be seen passing_ at alle hours of the day, like clouds over a landscape. The ; . Roman Catholic priests.must make up their minds. ;to submit to the same regulations as.. practically, -affect the Protestant clergy. Although it is. not 'illegal, no one ever saes a Protestant clergyman bustling about Fleet-street or the Strand in pudding sleeves andta square cap. There ise no , law on4the subject, for- none is. needed. The tacit good. sense of the Protestant clergy prevents them from. drug ging their sacred, vestments through the mud, and even running the risk of exposing religion to con tempt in. the persons of its ministers- merely on a question of costume. Let the Roman Catholic clergy follow the wholesome example.. So, again, with, the practice of out-ofedoor processions and ceremonials—the thing is simply impossible in England. However much the moderation of the bystander& may endeavour to stave off such a result, the moment would surely have come when a shower of black mid would lime expressed the state of public opinion upon this. feature of " Papal Agres . sion." . Much more is this likely to be the case if the processions are absolutely directed as hostile movements against the tranquillity of a body of Protestant worshippers.. It has been reported tous that in the immediate neighbourhood of Orchard street, Portman-square, a platform is erected,, on which, from time to time, copies of the Protestant Bible are committed to the flames. We warn the promoters of such proceedings, as they value their own safety, to hold their hands while it is yet time. The Times. By the QUEEN'.—A PROCLAMATION. VICTORIA R. Whereas by the Act of Parliament, passed in the 10th year of the reign of His late Majesty King George IV., for the relief of His Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects, it is enacted that no Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, nor any member of any of the religious orders, communities, or societies of the Church of Rome, bound by monastic or religious vows, should exercise any of the rites or cere monies of the Roman Catholic religion, or wear the habits of his order, save within the usual places of worship of the Roman Catholic religion, or in private houses ; and whereas it has been represented to us that Roman Catho lic ecclesiastics, wearing the habits of their orders, have exercised the rites and ce r emonies of the Roman Catholic religion in highways and places of public resort, with many persons in ceremonial dresses, bearing banners and objects, or symbols, of their worship, in procession, to the great scandal and annoyance of large numbers of our people, and to the manifest danger of the public peace ; and whereas it has been represented to us that such viola tion of the law has been committed near places of public worship during the time of divine service, and in such a manner as to disturb the congregations assembled therein, we have, therefore, thought it our bounden duty, by and with the_ advice of our Privy Council, to issue this our 11 those whom it ' to protect our subjects in the undisturbed enjoyment of hts and religious freedom, we are determined Fences sion'of all 4 security of our dor this lsti 2, and in the e year of our L ‘66 - b - i1;:e - the QUEEN CORRESPONDENCE.

CARDWELL AND THE NAVIGATION LAWS To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—Tn the Liverpool Journal, 24th July, 1847, there is an account of a m eeting of the Shipowners' Association, where Mr. Cardwell attended to have a conference on the Navigation Laws. After some conversation, the following dialogue took place on the subject. of Mr. Ricardo's motion for a com mittee on the Jih February, 1847 : "A shipowner asked.—' Did you vote for the appoint ment of the committee ?' (Hear.) " Mr. Cardwell said,—' He really did not think the house divided upon it.' " Shipowner said,—' He was going to ask if the mover made out a prima facie case sufficiently strong to justify its appointment.' "Mr. Cardwell said,—' Why the rule of the house was, that when a committee was moved for, the question of assent was left with the executive committe.' " Shipowner.—` I beg to ask Mr. Cardwell pointedly, did he vote for Mr. Ricardo'g motion ?' " Mr. Cardwell.- 4 To the beat of my opinion there was. no vote taken.' " Another shipowner.—` Were you favourable to the appointment of a committee ?' Mr. Cardwell.—` Well, I may sap. I thought there was no great necessity for the committee." I❑ the Lonrltlz Times, 9th and 10th r,hruary. 1847, we find Mr. Ricardo moved, seconded by Mr. Hume, " That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the ope ration and policy cf the Navigation Laws." The whole question was most ably debated, and' occeupies eight closely printed columns of the Times. The ayes, 155 ; noes, 61. Majority for appointment of committee, 94. Mr. E.

The speakers were—Ricardo, Hume, Gibson, James, Bright, Labouchere, i eel, Russell, Hutt, Liddell, Thomp son, Sandon, Bentinck, Mitchell, Harris, LVlsraeli, and 'mason. It took two nights to select a committee, and excited great party spirit.—Yours, truly, Liverpool, June 21, 1852. A SHIPOWNER. THE ROYAL PROCLAMATION To.'the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, Sri,-4 am a Liberal in every sense of the word, bat still sin of opinion that restraint, to a certain extent, as regardsßoman Catholic ecelesiastics,is wise and necessary. If you sa - y` that religious impressions are spiritual halluci nations and ought not to be physicafly restrained, but left to mental' culture and force of friendly persuasion, I would say, then, do away with armies, and trust to your persuading .Louis Napoleon and' other tyrants from ever invading yotr shares, or from perpetrating an unprovoked offence • for tyrannical usurpation and cruel and remorse less conduct are nothing but mental deformities, the result of a bad education or the want of a good one. I would go so far as to - say, do not punish criminals, but instruct them, feed them,• and encourage them to do well by kind treatment. This would be all very'well, as far as simple minded moderate offenders were' concerned, but, it unfortunately happens, that there are desperate and reek , less offenders ever prowling abont 'ready to carry out the most daring schemes and to go any length. These must be physically rest: dined, for the safetrof the community at large, and there must be a limit, beyond' which it shall be cons, idered felony to• trespass. So it is with religious com rnunities. They may eacrry out their religious polity, so far as it does not trench upon the public weal. Joseph Prince may fancy and calf himself what he pleases, and have a new spouse everrweek, as long as-this is done privately within the walls of the. Agapereone,. though it may appear rather questionable - morality ; hut as soon as he or his satelites call at rich widows' houses to carry them off noiens-volens to the - "abode of love," or if they were to exhibit their proceedings to the pubiiCseandal, it would then be high time that a' tittle gentle hint from physical authority intimated that they were carrying their religious views rather too far. Sb it is with regard' to the public exhibition of Roman' Catholic rites- and ceremonies. These trench upon and are obtrusive to the religious feelings of the country, and are the well known prelude to more' daring claims and usurpations. Again, a gentle man might leave the grounds open about his house, and even the doors of his- mansion unbarred, so• long as he knewthere were no desperadoes about the neighbourhood ; but, as soon as he learned' that certain , diitinguished free booters had taken up -their quarters upon. the green pastures of his domain-, and began to lay chain to spiritual sway over his tenantry, and to lead them into all kinds of extremes ) . it would then be time for him to lock up his old manorial rights, and say to the usurper--" Thus far shalt thew go, and no further." You cannot instruct a thief in the ways of honesty without :first putting him under restraint. And ' there are some minds holding religious tenets who are not content without carrying them into an, extreme to the annoyance and subversion of the principles of other people.

The note concerning , which all my correspondents have made ialuiry, namely,, that on Deut. zvii; Ff . -12, is thus mutilated: The criginul note, asquotecl in my lecture, reths thus : " Here we perceive what authority God was pleased to give to the church guides of the Old Tc.stament, in deciding without uppeal all controversies relating to the law, pro misinz that they should not err therein, and punishing with such as prvisalk refused obeigihair decisions, and surely He has not done less for the church guides of the New. Testament." The-mutilated note, as given in Dri Denvies edition, reads thus :—" Here we see what authority God was, pleased,tagive to the churri guides-of the Old' Testament, in deciding without appeal all controversies-relating tothe law, promising that they slaeuld not - err therein.; and surely He has. not done less-for the church guides- of the New It will be perceived' that the obnoxious clause—and platiJAin9 with dezp.,'lth as psNmdly ye, esed to obey their,deesions—is here omitted. Had the doctrine con tained in this clause beery formally repudiated as unchris-. tian by competent authority in the, church. of Rome, we would have hailed tile fact with joy, as-a first step towards realdimprovement,. boasted infallibility notwithstanding,• and we would never•afteawards have quoted the origi:•al neta as authority. But no such ieputliation of the intolerant assumption has ever been made;. and, therefore, for the suppression of it in this country, we can give the• church of Rcme credit for skilful management on4..deceiving and embar rassing unwary Protestants, and not for• any sincere repel), tance or amendment. _ _ "...My correspondents, comparing. the note as I quotadlb from the original. with the note as-theythemselves read.it, are among the deceived and embarrassed.

MR. CARDWEWS PROMISES AXD, PERROIiMANCES ! To the ALECTORS gf..the•BOROUGH of L.MERPOOL. GENTA.Ewiv,—I am the best friend Mr. Cardwell has got, and task you an. act of kindness to.him, and of justice to yourselves,,to• place him at the bottom of the poll. His political careen has been one string.of inconsisten cies. And here is-• the proof Nothin;. like facts, you know, in such atall , important matter as Promise.—To equalise taxation. Performance.—ile supported an increase of the income tax, and opposed its more equitabla adjustment ! Tradesmen, and , shopkeepers, and book-keepers, how do -jou like that ?; Promise.—He induced you to belleue he would at least oppose a total repeal of the navigation laws. Performance.—He spoke in favour of and voted for a bill; that swept every vestge of them away ! a bill which is now fast throwing yown•shilyping trade into !ha bands offoreigners ! If you are thus made dopen. dant upon foreigners for food and ships, think seriously what will become of you in the event of war ? Thank Mr. Cardwell amongst others !•!. Shipowners and patriots, how do you like this consistent and most successful legislation ? Promise.—To support Protestantism. Performance.—Voted against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill ! and is now supporting the Puseyite candidate for Oxford University ! ! in opposition to Dr. Marsh= ' who has been brought forward solely to vindicate EVANGELICAL PROTESTANTISM ! ! ! Now, then, you have the indictment ;: more counts might be added ; but upon one or other of these I think you will pronounce Mr. Cardwell " guilty !" He is only young ; "a juvenile offender ;" and, if you administer a little timely chastisement now, I think there is hope of reformation. Unfortunately, he has got with bad corn. panions. You can safely gather a man's character from " the company he keeps ;" and, therefore, you will act kindly to him, and justly towards your country, if you will at once separate him from them ! He will then see the folly of his course ; he will have time for reflection ; and as he has had a tolerably good education, he will be able then to discern that his past conduct,—for which he is now on his trial,—tends to social disorganisation, moral depravity, and a forgetfulness of every thing that is marked by honourable and straightforward motives ! Let no morbid sympathy induce you to violate the promptings of your conscience; you may depend upon it, if you let him go this time, he will be much worse when he next comes before you ! For that, I will give a " PLEDGE" for him, if you run the risk ! ! I have little doubt, however, but that you will check him in his downward course ; and you may rely upon it, that when he becomes an older, and I trust a wiser man, no one will more sincerely thank you for the punishment of his youthful transgressions and reckless tendencies, than the individual himself, who, at the time, protested so strongly, and pleaded so earnestly, for acquittal !

WE take some credit for the fact that, from the first in troduction of the screw as a propeller in ocean navigation it was contended in our columns that its ultimate success was certain. The comparative failure of the early at tempts would probably have served to depress the spirits of most men. Mr. F. P. Smith, however, the patentee of the screw, was confident in the soundness of the princi ple ; and its now assured triumph, exhibited in both the outward and homeward voyages of that splendid specimen of naval architecture, the Great Britain, is the fitting re of the engineering skill and perseverance of that gentleman.

Connected with this voy- age considerable in',lerest has been excited on both sides of the Atlantic, by the race homewards between the Great Britain, and the Sonthampton Company's steam-ship Humboldt By the who was a passenger, we are able to give auther.tie particulars of that trial of the respeeth.e speeds of the- two ships, the Mr. Smith says Me- Humboldt sailed at precisely the same time as the Great Britain, viz., 12' at noon, on the :ith instant, being ab half a mile ahead, having to a distance of 3,13 - 1 o Cowes , which she accom- plished in 2 hours, at an average rate of 11,7 , knots an hour. The Great Britain had' to go to Liverpool, 3,380 ,t the rate of 1L75 knots per hou The tonnage of the Great Britain is 3,500, that of the Humboldt being 2,200 tons. The for mer, however, has only 500 horse power, while the latter carries 850' horse power."

Madame Amphitrite : ..ITROD'UCTORY ADDRESS, READ ON BOARD THE GREAT BRITAINSTEAM-SHIP, JUNE 11, 1832. Roll back time's curtain for a thousand years, And say what vista to your sight appears ; An island, known as desolate and rude, — The natives harb'rous, fierce, savage, and rude : Say, then, what's there for poet to commend ; Look history down, and see what fate will send._ Though conquered oft, though often overrun, A race at last comes forth, their hearts all strung : To honour's high behests, to glory's deeds,— Fulaing which, they are all the poet needs; And Britain midst the nations takes her state,. With reverence and justice nam'd the Great. So is the history of our noble ship : As yet misfortune 's tracked her from the slip; Imprisoned, first, within the granite wall, 'Tis long before her mast and pennant tall Float free upon the wave..and then proceed To conquer ocean, and all others lead. But yet, alas ! more direful woes at hand„ Our good ship hapless lies upon the strand.. But yet once more revolving, checquer'd fate Joins her again to ocean, as her mate. And,now she rides triumphant on the wave— Oh, God, protect ! Oh, thou, high heaven, save ! Never abandon her, and ne'er forsake, Making her, like her old and great namesake, Something of which her children proud may Queen of the waves, and mistress of the sea ; And give her more, a higher destiny, To join in one strong link of amity, Two people—nations that should ever be One in their hearts, and one in unity. A. CHILD , OP TON. The entertainments,. we understand ,went off with great eclat ; and the cirmaistance speaks loudly in favour of the Great Britain as a comfortable and easy ship. _ It will be observed that this noble vessel is destined hereafter to form one of the Eagle line of packets des patched by Messrs. Gibbs. Bright,, and Co., to, Australia. Most confidently we augur her success, in her new voca tion. She is all that can be desired for such a voyage ; and from her great size she will carry almost a colony in herself. We cannot but conclude with reporting that the urbane conduct of Captain Mathews and her officers dur ing her recent voyage met with, the gratitude and appro bation of the passengers, which was expressed on their ar rival here in, the shape of a handsome address and pre sentation, copies of which are subjoined, At a meeting held on board the Great Britain Steam ship, on, Tuesday, the 15th June, 1552, the following re solutions were moved and unanimously adopted by the passeagers:— . _ . . Rlsotved,—" That this opportunity be taken to express our unqualified approbation of the judicious arrangements that have been made for the comfort and safety of the passengers." ResOived,—" That to Captain Mathews we tender our sincerest thanks :or his kindness and gentlemanly conduct, at the same time expressing our warmest admiration of the ability with which he performs his arduous and re sponsible dr i ties as commander of the ship." Resolved,—" That to the officers and crew we are also desirous of expressing our approval of the manner in which they fulfilled their respective duties, and more especially of good order and discipline everywhere mani fested." Resolved,—" That our experience during the passage from New York to Liverpool, has convinced us that no vessel has ever crossed the Atlantic to equal our noble ship in strength, safety, and comfort. or in point of speed as a propeller." Resolve,l,—That a copy of the above resolutions be forwarded to the leading journals of Liverpool and New York for publication." Signed on behalf of the passen w 4 qn. New York, U. S. J.
