In the great contest which is now going on between us " Britishers" and Brother Jonathan for the claim of maritime supremacy, it is pleasing to record any advance. ment made by either party ; for each successful effort is a step further in the progress of ship-building. So far the Americans have, generally speaking, outrivalled us in sailing vessels, and their transatlantic steamers, in one or two instances, have, under very favourable circumstances, outrun our more regular Cunard boats. As regards screw-steamers, however, we still maintain the le a d, the class of vessels of this description turned out by our builders having a superiority of finish, not only of mould and outward appearance, but in the rate of speed attained, over those hitherto sent over here from the United States. And superiority in this branch is of no slight importance, as the question of the adoption of tho screw as a propeller, in preference to the paddle-wheel —particularly for transit ships—is unquestionably settled ; a striking proof of which is to be found in the number of new screw-boats lately come to this port from different quarters, the successive arrival of which it has been our duty to announce, week after week, for some time past, swelling out our fine fleet of that sort of craft, already the largest belonging to any port in the kingdom. Among those of our builders who have made strenuous exertions to uphold the national honour, none hare been more successful in their efforts than the eminent firm of Messrs. John Reid and Co., of Port Glasgow, one of the of which—Mr. John Wood—is recognised as the father of steamship building, and deservedly ranks "A 1 t, lat Lloyd's," and every other shipping authority, as a first-rat-" - • • _ marine modeller. have addue, another evidence of their skill in naval architecture in the shape of a beautiful screw.boat, named the "Tiber," wlich arrived here from the Clyde on Saturday last, and is intended for the Mediterranean service, belonging to the same line as the Frankfort and Arno, also constructed by the z. builders. As the Tiber is much larger than any of her predecessors in the trade, (which, though well known for their symmetry of mould and beauty of appearance, com pared to her, are " old fashioned ships "), we subjoin a few brief particulars of her dimensions, interior fittings, and what our Yankee brethren would call " other fixings." The Tiber is a' three-masted Fehooner, rather stoutly sparred, and rigged " roan.o'- war fashion." Her "sticks" are made of the very best material, and calculated to "hang out" an astonishing spread of canvas for a steamer. Her hull, when seen stem on, presents you at once with the look of a " clipper craft," and a " broadside" view shows the stiffness of her upper line to be relieved by a fine " forward," Although her entrance is remarkably fine, being " sharp as a wedge," there is no " hollowness" perceptible ; and her hull, after swelling into fullner• spring . the waist, becomes again contracted astern, leaving her run as long and clear as could be wished. Though pos sessed of this extreme sharpness, she is anything but a " wall-sided" ship, for her shape is so nicely managed that she is not devoid of that well-roundnd form which is looked upon as a desideratum in all hand some vessels. The Tiber's bow is surmounted by a handsome full-length female figure-head, backed with neat trail-boards, bearing the ship's name engraved in gold, and surrounded by chaste carved-work, richly gilt. Her stern has five oval-shaped windows, and over the lights is thrown an arch of foliated carving, most racy in design, and sparkling with gilt. In the centre of the arch is a shield bearing a liver. Her quarter-galleries are simi larly decorated, but with more elaborate scroll-work. On her sides she carries painted ports, and her funnel is ornamented with a flanged top. On stepping on deck the Tiber's chief characteristic--her great length—is at once perceptible, as well as the great roominess and compact arrangement. Her bulwarks on the main-deck are upwards of six feet high, affording excellent protection from the weather. The main saloon is entered through a commodious companion way, fitted with seats on the outside, under which light is givento the ladies' cabin; indeed ,throughout the whole ship those great requisites, comfort, light, and ventilation, have been attended to more than glitter and show. There are three state-rooms ranged on each side of the saloon, with double berths, ventilated from the ceiling by open metallic fretwork. There are also additional sleeping berths, and she has accommodation in all for about two dozen first-class passengers. The sides of the saloon are panelled in grained oak, and the state-room, doors highly polished, the upper part ornamented with a rich design in fretwork, backed by crimson satin. Her counter is cir cular, and upholstered in dark crimson velvet, as is also the rest of thecabin furniture. Light isadmitted from two lofty cupola windows, with frosted glass, which will lessen the glare of the sun's rays when in tropical climates. For ward of the saloon are the steward's wintry, captain's cabin, (who has also a berth on deck), additional state rooms, and the ladies' apartments. The chief mate and engineers are accommodated on deck, and otherthe officers forward. Her stowage capacity is for upwards of one thousand tons of cargo, and her coal bunkers will hold sufficient fuel for the voyage out and home, a very important r.dvantao in a foreign going steamer, Her machinery is of 150 horse power, manufactured by Messrs. J. and G. Thomson, of the Clyde Bank Foundry, on the direct action principle. The boilers are tubular, heated by six furnaces, and furnished with an extra safety-valve, in accordance with the requirements of the new Act of Parliament. The Tiber is constructed with a view to solidity and strength. There are three tiers of kelsons running the whole length of her midship compartment, supporting thebed -plates of the machinery, and her framing is of thestrongestangleiron. The plating is of I-inch thick nessattheguard board streak,'gradually tapering towards the upper works, and she is double-rivettedthroughout. Take her altogether, she certainly reflects great credit on her builders, for producing such a splendid vessel, and on her spirited owners for ordering a craft of her character. She is one of the line of the Liverpool and Mediterranean Screw Steam-ship Co., and her owners are Messrs. John Bibby, Sons, and Co., Tower Chambers. The Tiber is commanded by Captain Robert Ewing, who has had several years' experience both in screw and paddle-wheel boats, and to his courtesy and attention we are indebted for the foregoing particulars. On her passage round, the Tiber accomplished the dis tance from Greenock to the Bell Buoy in 161 hours—an excellent run—and this against a head wind for nearly the whole distance. which gives prestige of a short voyage from this port to Italy and Sicily, whither she will be shortly despatched.

Large sales of Cotton have been made during the past week, and as the imports have been very trifling, the stock is now reduced 113,000 bales below what it was the same period in 1850. The value of fair American has not under one any change, but the common and middling qualitiEs *d. to +d. higher. The sales on Saturday were ;,000hales, the market closing steadily at unchanged are fr The Board of Trade monthly returns, recently issued, show a decrease of £87,840 in the declared value of our exportations, as compared with the month of October, 1850 ; caused, it is said, by a large diminution in the ship ment of metals. Woollens show but a trifling decrease, whilst cotton, linen, and silk manufactures are all on the favourable side. The import returns show that immense quantities of produce have been received, and as the deli veries for consumption are not in a proportionate ratio, prices must continue to rule, as they now are, exceedingly low. There is not any new feature to notice in the grain trade. The chief articles of consumption have been held ith firmness. The imports, both coastwise and from 1. have been small; but this is caused, in some by the prevalence of unfavourable winds. Parties leg ree, who are well informed, and know accurately the probable movements in the trade, concur in the opinion that the price of wheat will not fluctuate materially, as buyers are not disposed to purchase beyond immediate and pressing requirements. Flour is slightly diminishing in stock, and may probably advance from 2s. to 35. per barrel before the sprini ; but this will altogether depend on the extent of our supplies from Canada and the United States. The trial of speed between the clipper-ships Stornaway and Surprise has resulted in favour of the former, she beating her competitor more than two d a ys. B o th ves sels were built for the China trade, and the advantage obtained by the Stornaway clearly shows that the English built vessels can successfully compete with the American, whilst there is no doubt that. by a fair and honourable rivalry, both American and English vessels are improved. Such competition may, however, lead shipowners and captains to exclaim as did the Athenians of old, " See how we exert ourselves to merit your applause"—for the competition may run away with the profit. The long-talked-of submarine telegraph between Eng land and France has been finally completed, and formally opened to the public, for the transmission of messages. which intelligence can be conveyed from London to Faris, and vice versa, it will tend to check the speculative spirit of certain greedy stock-jobbers, and cause a greater in the price of the same stock in both cities. •' Politically too," says the Britannia of Saturday last, " this novel organisation must have a bearing of the greatest consequence, for no one would have been prepared to hear that within an hour and a quarter from the time of telegraphing at Paris, and the additional five minutes employed in the execution of an order, the success of the operation could be advised by the London agents of the party transmitting it for the purpose. Should the scheme only be permanent, certainly it would be one of the most signal as well as momentous triumphs of modern days, prolific as they have been in scientific discoveries." We perceive that the Electric Telegraph Company have com menced acting upon their reduced and uniform tariff. For the reduction which they have made we thank them % but are confident that a lower charge than the new rates, combined with promptitude and accuracy is the despatch Df all messages would ultimately pay them better; and, what is more, deter competitors from entering the field. The protracted and unpleasant disputes between the London Dock Company and the Customs authorities have at length terminated, each party seeming to " forgive and forget" the past, and agreeing to the adoption of certain resolutions in common, to prevent a recurrence of irregu larities in future. The right of the Crown to make the seizures has been generally admitted, and on that admis sion they have been released on payment of a nominal fine. The tenor of the advices from abroad, during the past week, are somewhat important, particularly the late ac counts from Sydney, setting forth, in glowing terms, the great abundance of gold which has been discovered in several parts of our New South \Vales territory. Already had the " digging mania" sent an immense proportion of shepherds, labourers, &c., to reported fields of riches. Such an extensive immigration had begun to exercise a rather unfavourable effect upon the trade of the colony. In the event of the " diggings" continuing prolific, it would be a wise step for our emigrating population to direct their attention to Australia as well as America, as they would be sure to find ready employment, and ultimately settle down in easy circumstances. Mr. Bennett, who was robbed and assaulted on the Woodchurch-road last week, had three ribs broken, and several severe contusions. He has been confined to bed ever since, but may now be considered out of denier, The abundance of money appears to be telling upon the price of railway securities. We have had during the past week a steady and increasing business in our Stock Ex and the shares and stocks of all the old lines (if we except, perhaps, thoseof the London and Northwestern which are heavy) are much asked for. Until to-day there has not been any marked advance. This morning, how ever, there were some extensive orders to buy Midlands and Leeds in the market, the execution of which produced a decided rise of one or two per cent generally, and the market has closed this evening at the best of the day, with every . prospect of a further improvement. It is said the negoc;ations between the Midland and London and North western are about to be concluded, cementing together in one these two great companies. A large business is doing in mining shares, especially in those of the Californian mines, some of which are likely to prove most lucrative concerns. We annex the day's quotations.

THE LIVERPOOL CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCRIPTURE READERS' SOCIETY. Yesterday afternoon, a meeting of the friends and sub scribers to the Liverpool Scripture Readers' Society was held in the Clarendon-rooms, South John-street, for the purpose of forming a lay committee, in accordance with one of the rules. There was a numerous attendance of clergymen and laymen, amongst whom we noticed the Rev. Rector Camptp.ll, the Rev. Dr M'Neile, the Rev. Messrs. Fielding Ould, Pollock, Barker, Carpenter, Hampton, Rawson, &c. Amongst the laymen present were Mr. Alderman Molyneux, Mr. Alderman Parker, Mr. Councillor Samuel Holme, Mr. Adam Hodgson, Mr. T. T. Glazebrooke, Mr. Grantham, Mr. E. Cropper, Mr. Jones, Mr. Holderness, &c., &c. The Rev. Rector Campbell presided, and the meeting having been opened with prayer, offered up by the Rev. F. Barker, The CHAIRMAN called the attention of the meeting to the simple business they had to transact, which was to elect twelve lay members of the general committee, in compliance with one of the rules which had been drawn up for the government of the society. The Rev. Mr. BARKER having proposed to read the names of certain gentlemen who were eligible for appoint ment as members of the committee, The Rev. Dr. APNEILE inquired what amount of voice or power the general committee would have in relation to the proposed clerical sub-committee. He was anxious to propose a gentleman as a member of the lay committee, bct he knew it would be satisfactory to that gentleman to be made acquainted with the nature of the business he was undertaking. The gentleman to whom he alluded was Mr. Edward Cropper. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that the society was to be conducted by a general committee, consisting of clergymen and laymen jointly. The Rev. Dr. WNEILE.—WouId the general committee have the power of appointing a successor to any member of the clerical sub-committee ? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative, and added that, according to the rules, the general committee had also the power, in the exercise of their discretion, to in crease the number of the clerical sub-committee from five to seven. said the general committee great number of bye-laws to would be subject. DISTRESSING SUICIDE AT THE ADELPHI HOTEL 41W A most melancholy case of suicide has taken place at the Adelphi Hotel, in this town. The unfortunate deceased is Mr. Charles L. Barnes, merchant, of New York. who arrived by the Atlantic, Captain West, on the Friday preceding the sad event, the . particulars of which will be gathered from the subjoined evidence, given at the inquest, before Mr. Statham, deputy coroner, this day week. Mr. Joseph Skeaf, book-keeper, at the Adelphi Hotel, deposed to the arrival of Mr. Barnes at the Hotel on Friday. The wit ness said on Saturday he complained of dizziness in his head, and at his own request Dr. Bickersteth's assistant was sent for, and one of the porters placed in his room until his arrival. After visiting his patient the doctor brought him a written paper from the deceased, of which the following is a copy : " Should serious illness happen to me, or insanity, which I much dread from my present feeling, havingbeen ill on board the Atlantic, address J. W. Branch, care of Ibbotson Brothers and Co., Sheffield, England. Inform him of the worst,—Charles L. Barnes, merchant, New York, America. Inform Brown, Shipley and Co.. Liverpool." On Sunday the deceased sent to me. I went toldm. He was then in bed. Hesaid, " I have passed an awful night, but lam now composed. I feel no pain, and I am sure mortification has begun in my inside." I tried to cheer him up, but be said, " I am certain I shall die," and he gave directions about the disposal of his body after heath, which was to be sent to America. He seemed excited. I placed James Barnard and another man with him, and I then left him. Margaret Clarke, the chamber-maid, deposed to the deceased having rubbed his forehead with his hands, and said he was afraid of lunacy. MAIL ROBBRRY AT BRISTOL OnWednesday night last a mysterious robbery was effected at the Bridgewater station of the Bristol and Exeter Rail way. Just before the arrival of the train the London mail bag, which, with three others, hrd been thrown on the platform by a man who had charge of them, the train being momentarily expected, was suddenly missed, and, although a search for it was instantly made, no clue to the robber could be discovered. It was known that there were several bankers' parcels in the bag, with bank-notes to a large amount. Information of the robbery was at once forwarded to the different metropolitan and local banks, with the dates and numbers of many of the stolen notes. On Saturday a very respectably-dressed young man, who gave his name Henry Norris, presented one of the notes at the Castle Bank, in this city. Information of the occurrence was given to the manager of the hank, who subsequently caused Norris to be apprehended, and he was taken before the Bristol police magistrates, when he stated that he resided at John-street, Bridgewater, and also at Ni:wnham -street, Edgeware-road, London. The prisoner was remanded for the purpose of communicating with the parties who had forwarded the notes by the mail. The other missing property has since been recovered. enveloped h in Kinsale by his acception of his arly opportunity to relieve ues of as it is his mod .risome political la- He will not e of D arvon, the free and inde- nded, organized, and Tits of their new s yet a problem ut whoever comes hand a dust will be the Kapp: 'geant _ Murphy, that worthy ;tiousness in a judge bable, thouzh as yet is pocket When he teful and touching far well to the beautiful city of Cork, and make reom" for a new man, who will, in his turn, get his new place.

I hope and trust we are at last done with thi s said .cox combical patriot, Kossuth. It is really deplorable that Englishmen should ever be the ready dupes of all the foreign adventurers, juglars, and pretenders that are cast by fortune on our shores. There must be some inherent weakness in our nature that renders us liable to this foreign infatuation. Luckily, for our national respectability and character, this Kossuth mania has been principally con. fined to the tag-rag and bobtail, the dwellers n low places, the levellers, and the silly hunters after any sort of noto riety.

POLLOCK would have to draw up a which the clerical sub-c-ommitt important part of the duties entrusted to the general com mittee. It would also be their duty to lay down rules for the observance of the Scripture Readers themselves. The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE observed that in the questions he had asked, it was not his wish to delay the business of the meeting. It was more that some general outline of the intended working of the society should be laid down. The CHAIRMAN wls glad Dr. M t Neile had named those questions. Mr. ADAM HODGSON inquired whether it would be one of the duties of the general committee to point out the most needy parts of the town for the labours of the Scrip ture Readers. The CHAIRMAN apprehended that that duty would more immediately rest with the clerical superintendent. it would be for him to point out those parts of the town which most needed the labours of the Scripture Readers. After some observations from the Rev. Mr. BARKER, to the effect that it would be necessary to appoint several sub-committees for the general management of the society, Mr. E. CROPPER said he considered that all the most important matters connected with the society ought to come before the general committee. The Rev. Dr. 111`NEILE quite agreed in Mr. Cropper's remarks. The acts of the clerical sub-committee ought to be subject to the confirmation or otherwise of the general committee, because that would, in a great degree, exone rate the clerical committee from allowing any cripture Reader to remain in office who ought to be removed. The CHAIRMAN also agreed in this view of the case. In answer to a question from Mr. ADAM HODGSON,. The Rev. Mr. BA.RICER said that he thought the selection of publications for distribution by the Scripture Readers, would fall on the clerical sub-committee. Mr. HODGSON.—Entirely upon them ? The Rev. Mr. BARKER.:—I think it ought to do. The CHAIRMAN expressed a hope that by God's grace the society would do for this town that which had never before been done. Mr. S. HoLmE.—And extend to other towns also. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the following gen tlemen were then elected lay members of the general com mittee :—Mr. Adam Hodgson, chairman ; Messrs. C. Inman, J. Grantham, H. Halbead, E. Higgin. E. Cropper, T. D. Anderson, E. Molyneux, C. Bushell, W. C. Carey, T. T. Glazebrook, C. Grayson. The Rev. Mr. itAnicv.a then proposed that the meeting now proceed to the appointment of a sub-committee, to draw up the by laws. The CHAIRMAN thought that had better be left to the general committee. Mr. BARKER.—Then the business of the present meet ing was at an end. The CHAlRMAN.—Certainly. He considered that the business of this meeting was at an end, and that the work of appointing sub-committees should be left to the general committee when it met. The meeting then broke up, it being understood that the general committee would meet at the Savings' Bank, on Friday next, for the purpose of appointing sub-com mittees and officers.

Had not a good opportunity during the passage of testing the !ailing qualities of the ship, she being tender, from bad load ing. The coals were very inferior, 22i. per cent. of the whole being thrown overboard In the shape of cinders. Had to carry hut little steam, and use but two boilers during the latter half of the passage, owing to scarcity of coals, James Barndrd, the waiter who had been sent to attend the deceased—l sat up with him -all night. When I first went into the room where the deceased was lying, he asked my name. and then he said, "James, you must he very careful, or I shall jump through the window." He talked in a very incohe rent manner at times during the night. About eight or nine o'clock on Sunday morning the surgeon saw him, and, atter he had gone. the deceased became very outrageous, and raved tear fully. It was as much, at one time, as three men could do to keep him in bed. He continued some times quite raving mad, and at other times, at short intervals, he was quiet, an apologised for giving me so much trouble, and he said sometimes he remem bered me and sometimes lie did not. In •he afternoon the deceased became so outrageous that the surgeon was sent for, and Dr. Bickersteth and his assistant came togellif , r. and it took three of us to give him his medicine. About ten minutes past eleven in the morning, the deceased asked for his trowsers. I could not find them, and deceased said, " They are here, under my pillow," and, taking a knife from the pocket, gave it to me, and said " Do not let me have it again until Lam better." I went to him at nine o'clock at night, and got him out of bed, and just then Dr. Bickel steth came in. He remained out of bed about two hours, and the doctor was complimenting him on his being so nicely getting round, and told him he would be all right in the morning. About two hours after the doctor left, the deceased, who was then sitting up 'n the room, asked me for the keys of his portmanteau. I gave them to him, and went with him to the portmanteau, and offered to open it, but he would not allow me. He turned roam!, and said, "James, go and get my bed ready. I will be with you in two minutes," I had just given him a clean pockethandkerchief, which he then had in his hand. I lizard him open the port manteau, and I heard him lock it again, but I did not see what he took out of it. He put the keys on the drawers, and then came towards Me and got into bed. I covered him up, and drew the curtains close round his bed. At his own re quest I put the light away to the farther end of the room, in order that lie might get a sleep. I went down stairs, leaving John Dugg.n in the room. This was about half-past eleven on Sun day night, and I returned to the room at a few minutes past twelve. Duggan, in reply to a question from me, said the deceased had never spoken during my absence. I sent Duggan for some coals; and, in crossing the room, I saw something shining by the bottom of the bed-curtain. On stooping down to pick it up, I found that it was a razor, all covered with idood. I gave the alarm, and the deceased was found, with his hroat cut, lying in bed. The bed-clothes were lying over the throat of deceased, and did not appear to have been disturbed. Mr. Joseph Wild Branch, of Williamsburg, in the State of New York, who had come over atom , " with the deceased, stated that on the voyage he had noticed that he was particularly weak, and very nervous, hut not that he was at all unconscious of his acts. Deceased was badly troubled with sea sickness on the voyage, and continually complained of his head. and of his want of sleep. He took deceased to the delphi and left him there, and proceeded to Sheffield on Saturday morning. They partook of dinner together on Friday, when the deceased appeared to he quite cheerful, but very weak. Witness thought then that the deceased was fast recovering from the symptoms of which lie had complained. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict that the deceased had destroyed himself whilst labouring under tem porary insanity. SPORT FOR TUE WINTER EVENINGS ! ! !
