The results of the experiments are exhibited in a voluminous series of tabular statements, which occupy the bulk of . the bOok. It would appear that a good deal remains to be'done in the matter of iron, and that we are only now on the eve of vast improvements in. the manufacture of cast iron and cast steel. Some very fine results have been ob tained from cast material - prepared by Mr. Bessemer, ,which s promise well, and generally the attention of those . , connected with the manufacture and use of iron is bein, directed to the subject. SINGULAR ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—OR Saturday, Mr. _Mark - Lemon _attended at Guildhall Police-conrt, and produced two letters which had been left at the Punch office,' Fleet-street, in one of which the writer had :enclosed a Crimean medal, with two clasps, for the Russian campaign, and 30s. in gold, which he desired might be placed to the account of Punch, as a journal he much admired, and to which he left it as a legacy. He had determined to end his life, as he had so many enemies that he found it, impossible to keep ,any situation he got into. Mr. Mark Lemon said, as it was evident the writer intended to 'commit suicide, he felt it his duty to give information. This led to a visit from the police to the address in the letters—namely, 8, Griffin-street, York-roafil,. • Lambeth, . where, in an upper room, the constable found a man in"bed in a very exhausted state, and en the floor a recently-discharged pistol. On turn ing down the bedclothes he found the raan saturated with blood, and a wound over the left breast. He had been lodging there a few weeks, and was very re served; no one knew his name even, which, from the letters, appeared to be Dennis Leahy. The officer called in Mr. Todd, surgeon, of the Westminster -road, by whose advice the man was removed to. Guy's Ilospita/, where he lies in a precarious state. .In the room was founcla letter stating that he had paid his landlady, and owed money to no. one ; that he had been previously injured and annoyed by some of the most_ worthless and contemptible. Tie wished he could forgive some of them, but he would leave them to their own . consciences, irthey had any, to .do .justice ,when: he was gone. It was iigned,Li.

ADAMS'S One Shilling Box of STATIONERY Containing SIXTY SHEETS GOOD NOTE PAYER, SEVENTY-FIVE ENVELOPES, PEN & HOLDER, WAX, PENCIL, & BLOTTING PAPER 63, CHURCH STREET, LIVERPOOL A REAL CASE 'OF DISTRESS.—A REVERSE OF FOR TUNE.-Some, few clays ago a lady named Hope, residing at No. 10, Hereford-villa, Kensington, applied to Mr. 'Dayinan, the then sitting magistrate, at Hammersmith, 'for his advice and assistance on behalf of a poor dis tressed female, who was entirely destitute, and unable to earn her own livelihood. The applicant .was accom panied by the woman in question, and she appeared to be qiiite imbecile. The lady stated that the poor crea ture was'the daughter . of Lieut. Ryall, R.N., who died 'on his homew'ard_voyage from Leghorn in 1797. Her age..' - was now 68, and.her husband (Mr. Win. Redsdale) died r • fourtebn'years ago, :leaving her with an only child, and the sum of i5OO for their support. Her husband had held.. a_situaticui -in . StaMp-offiee, Dublin, for 25. years, - 'and was-universally respected. Her son soon afterwards went to, California, where he died in 1852. She came ' to live with her about three years ago, and at that time she was in the receipt of about £3O per annum, derived, from • the property bequeathed •by her late husband. ;Since then the unfortunate woman has -. been deprived 'of her slender income through the' inSelvenCy of thoSe to-Whom` she had lent her money. She was. now whop .IPcoy the_frimdsh.ip _of Ille,applig4iit i , was at a . loss to knew what t. de.. She had-inain 'tainea- her for some , considerable time ; but, having herself experienced unexpected events, was now really :unable any longer to continue. that faveur. The .un-z happy woman had not a single relatiVe living, and all she received was an annual donation of £5 from the Naval Benevelent . ,; Society. She' was so weak and infirm that she. was quite past all labour, which had been very materially mereased by the *shock she had sustaineor: upon finding : herself reduced to that Tearfill. condition. • The applicant further said that she !was desirous, if possible, to save the poor lady from being _ compelled to enter the workhouse, but she was sadly afraid that unless same kind friend came forward on her behalf she would be .reduced to that necessity. Mr. Dayman took great pains to ascertain- the truth of the ship, nearly 100 - fe,et inn and ~w itb 1,6'00 bor power, goes very little faster, while the Orlando, another single-decked ship,. 50 feet longer than the Mersey,- with working Workin up to 4,0( 4 )0 horses, has only been pro pelled about 111 f a knOt more than the Agamemnon. On the otherrliancl,.we' have the Himalaya doing 16 knots. with 700 horse-power, only partially exerted. There are anomalies here which ought not to be. Either the model of the ,Himalaya is superior to that , of the Mersey and. Orlando, or there are disturbing.-causes, which should' be inquired into. It cannot be the material of which the ships are built, for although the. Himalaya is iron, the General Admiral, built in America for Russia, is said to go fifteen knots, and is a wooden ship. These' are matters which demand the fullest possible attention: and investigation. We go on building and altering, without any visible improvement. Ships and eines are constructed at an en ormous cos t, an d whera competed' we find no perceptible gain. The impression left in our mind by the experiments on board the screw frigates is that there is a considerable excess of power developed, which is, in fact, wasted, and that the waste retards rather than accelerates the speed. A curious exemiolifi cation of the injurious excess of power has lately been shown • in two 'ships belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Co. On of them, the Yectic, employed on the Mar seilles line r had 400 horse-power, and the highest speed attainable was 14 knots. That speed, however, being con sidered unnecesary, as the contract did not stipulate kr more than 11 knots, the directors determined to reduce. the power to 250-horse. The reduction was effected, and the result of the reduction was a quarter not gain ! The Yectis, which would only steam 14 with 400-hone power, goes 141 with. 250. Similar results were ob tained some ten years ago on board the-Terrible and Retribution. Judging from these premisses, we see no reason to doubt that the Orlando would attain a higher rate of speed with 500 or 600-horse power, moderately used, than with 1,000. Her model is symmetry itself. She is a sort of giant Alarm, and, if not overpressed with masts, yards, engines, and boilers, we should have nothing equal to her. The Masts and yards of the Orlando weigh eighty tons. Her mainmast is 3 feet 1 inch in diameter and all her other spars are 'in proportion. When under full speed the vibration must necessarily be terrific ; and this fact suggests avery important investigation. Experienced sailors are well aware of the damaging effects of vibration upon a ship's sailing qualities. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the vibration occasioned by men walking about the decks is injurious ,• but how much More must a vessel's speed ;be affected by the. shaking Occasioned by the action of the screw i Is it not possible w te reduee the screw power to a point at which the vibration caused by the revolution of the screw Would not be seriously detrimental to. speed ? We have often been asked,. why, give the- Orlando only three masts ? Why should s h e Ro t b e r i gged .like the Himalaya ?. A ship's importance is not increased by the tauntness of her spars. But no department of the pub e service seems so hard to move as the naval architec ural braneh. Adherence to old rules seems to have keW,Strono , root there. Progressive seamen have long ince condemned the ship-rig for long vessels ; but it - is;•inevertheless, retained, and in spite `of the 'most fdreible- arguments ' against it. The Admiralty will, yve •hope, look narrowly into this steam question when at Portsmouth and Plymouth, and will, perhaps, insti tute inquiries likely to clear 'away the doubts surround ingic it. In order to determine whether and to what t the tent masts and yards affect a ship's motioi , i t r pn water, end the an d O rylaranddao across shou l d ; a b n e d tr ag ied and topmasts . struck and 1 t 7that there were legs If the latter experiment s helve 't would be sutficientto vibration and greater spee d ck a i rds have a bad effect.
