L THE NEW SYSTEM OF NAVIGATION. TO THE warren OF THE NOILTHCZN 'VMS. Sir,-1 - .hat hoped that my letter, in the NORTHERN TIMES of Friday, Bth lust., would end, for the present, my encr oachments on that space which you so liberally devote to communications on subjects of interest to the mercantile marine but a letter appears in the Shipping Gazette of Monday 10th lust., and has been widely cir :orbited in other periodicals, which requires - comment from me. My attempt to reform the system of nautical education of the country I find to 'be a work of - increasing labour; but it is particularly encourag ing to think that of the somewhat presumptive statements I have made, as to improvement in navigation, net one person hewing reputation for experience or mathematical attainment has disputed the propriety of my work ; while of the few who anonymously uisturhed me. all, without exception, have, atthe same time, confessed their inability to form a correct opinion, for want of-sufficient know ledge of the eubje3t on which they wrote! It is no less remarkable that those whose position justified interference, grappled -quietly with the Spherograph, and in determined and often severe struggles, -in which " Greek met Greek;" dealt their heavy blows rather from evident desire to try the stability of my defences than to slay me on the spot; thus exhausting their strength., without impairine, my vigour, and at last yielding their weapons with a courtesy evinced only by thdse who are too chivalrous to blush at an honourable defeat. It hes, however, pleased a Mr. M--, of Dublin, late of Liverpool, (I withhold is full name, for his own sake,) to pounce upon the published opinions of one of these higlaminded of, my temporary opponents, and to see in the early remarks of-Mr, John Taylor, of Liverpool, (a gentleman of mathe matical repute among his townsmen;) a pretax - , for direct disparagement of my Spherograph. But my letter iu your columns of the 8:h instant wil! have already informed your readers, and probably'Mr M-- , that Mr. Taylor's remarks (on seeing which I made a friendly call on that respected veteran in science,) had no reference whatever to me or my work. Indeed, a subsequent examination by Mt. Taylor, of the Spherograph and its •capabilities, -showed him sufficient reason to modify, if not to abandor, his general opinion as to the possibility of 'attaining sufficient accuracy in mathematical pro jection for prescribed purposes, and even permitted him to allow me the benefit of his strong reeom mendation. Mr. M--, or Mr. " Any one,"•while he simply attempts to defend the public from fancied imposition, should, while so doing, receive every consideration, but when he descends to .gratuitous depreciation and personalities, and afterwards repudiates friendly request of private explanation, and refuses to correct his statements, merely seeking shelter behind a claim to the right of expressing his opinion on what he properly calls a " -subject of great national importance," and denying privately what he refuses to , acknowledge in public, viz., " any -inten tion whatever of saying anything in disparage ment of the Spherograph,". while he allows the seeds of injury to root arid vegetate in the public; mind to my injury, I say it is his own fault if I, in self defence, ant compelled to call him again before the public. Why, sir, he ignores all the high com mendations he had previously, in the hearing of so meny persons, bestowed on the identical in strument, which. (while it suited his purpose to frequent my office through several months) he had the frequent opportunity of seeing tested by the principal navigators of the port of Liverpool. When Mr. M-- suddenly repudiates all this, and pre sumes on a knowledge of spherics, which I do not scruple to believe has been mainly obtained by means of my own illustrations of the Sphero graph, it is time to ask, to what unfortunate circumstance I may attribute the favour of his hostility. And Mr. M—'s reply, either in public or private, will save me the unpleasant task of .eg conjecture. I should be sorry to act with discourtesy towards any one, but meeting my opponent on his own around of " public" impor tance, I contend that he who tries to influence•a great public question, should be correct at least in his statement. The " public" is a high triblinal, and is, moreover, impatient of endeavours to mislead it. Whether the success of my humble attempt to relieve the United States frigate Niagara of her compass difficulties, as mentioned by your cartes pendent at the time, excited passions peenliar to, and excusable in, " patentees," I leave to your readers to determine; certain it is that Mr. M— has published to the world the following open attack upon me. Referring to the Niagara, he says (in- the &tipping Gazette of the 10th inst., 1 and elsewhere)—" Mr. Sexby had the benefit of sights laid down at great expense by the Liver- 1 pool Corporation, to enable all vessels lying in the, , river to, ascer tain the errors of the compass and, consequently, to find in a feiv se conds, the true bearing of the ship's head. With these aids, -Mr. Saxby's Spherograph appears to have answered admirably. But without these sights, or-any-other object not accurately laid down on a chart., the -magical Spherograph could only serve to involvethe navigator in the most unfathome able depths of the science of errors." And he adds, " Having;no terrestrial sight to commence the working of an abstruse problem in spherics, Mr. Saxby would be compelled to take some celes tial body for his .guide, and then we should have him attempting to -work out with accuracy a spherical problem on a plane. This, most mathe maticians know to .be• utterly impossible; as Mr. John Taylor has dust told the world, that it may answer fin a rough .way, but that is not such an answer as is required in navigation. In this opinion Mr. Taylor will be supported by every man who knows anything of spherics." -I quote thi.s, for com parison, with his note in reply to my remonstrance, -wherein this same Mr. M-- denies any intent to disparage. I aria compelled to dispute Mr. M--'s competency to decide on any question of navigation, spherics, or of the compass. His strange acquaint ance with a science unknown to mathematicians, vise the science of errors, has, fear, unfitted him for clear perception, where accuracy is all essential am afraid that in meddling with spheric pre -seetion, he feels him-self to be in the same category es the little boy, who, in trying to use a saw. found it too much for hint, on account of the teeth. My opponent may have donned a lion's skin, and have found it convenient to further his .umnietakeble views by assuming an aspect of importance, but the dangling claws, and shaggy-mane, as dis played before me, are worse than ridiculous— ( neen i e me, dc., 4-c ) Nosy, every person aequainted with the Mersey well know that no one on board the ;United States' ; ; ,frigate Niagara. whic.h lay off the ,New Ferry, eould possibly have availed himself of the Corporation marks on the dock walls for compass correction, and, therefore. Mr. statement is, to use the mildest word, a •`• mistake," Ought any one, therefore, to be excused for founding a Charge against an invention which is likely to , prove usefut, on a mere ignorant assumption ? I ehatlenge Mr. M-- to disprove that the -Sphere graph cap-able of all ao - lurocy that navigation MI Possibly require—nay, that -its correctness is saperabundant, and fully equals, in most instances, the accuracy at present obtained by calculation. Even Aa the case refereed ta, it will be rerreembered, by those of the public who witnessed the testing -on board the Niagara (where one of the most aceamplished navigators in the U. S. navy, lieutenaut /Sermon, had computed the truo compass error from an altituadn ean e d r poetzsititi ineu e tl; taken just previously) , tha t my answer coincided witk the ealculated ,Wautel as b o _tained by the sailing master, the said Lieutenant Kennon. My work was simply this. Lieutenant Kennon gave me Cle apparent time at ship—with this and he known latitude and declination, Isar five or six seconds, and triaupt calculation, by the Bpherograph the sun's true bearing,; on comparing this with the sun's compass bearing, of course the difference was the gross error of the compass itself in one sum. I ought to mention that the bearing was taken by the aid of a Meath card (Friend's " pe/Drusn, and I trust the Board of Trade will soon see the advantage of considering this instrument superior to the azimuth compass Allen for sea use, as it avoids osoilistiogaiu4..43,llo - 8 THE NORTHERN TIMES.=; - -LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1857. influenced by local attraction. 4 Sueb, then, is the position in which Mr. M—'s assertion is found to be. " Science of errors" forsooth ! I fear the civilised woi r ld will sea no greater accuracy in comparing the above abstracts from Mr. M--'s letter, with his subsequent declaration made to me by note, that he " had no intention whatever of saying -anything in - dis paragement of your Spherograph, and do not conceive that I have anything to retract," I shall beirappv to be spared any farther public reference M--, it rests with him whether I make any further positive statement as to the probable .case of his hostility. 'Does it not, sir, satisfy you that some competent authority" is wanted, to whom it would be a national , benefit . to submit supposed improvements, and whose duty it should be to protect the com munity from those whose odd notions of" science" cast obstacles in the way of healthy progress, and, in fact, disgust us frequently with the name of " patent.' And who would•guard us against those who, from self-interest, ingenerously, and at every opportunity destroy or pollute the " Hay" which they cannot eat themselves,—l have, &c. Rock Ferry, 15th August, 1857. S. M. SAXBY. THE WEST INDIES AND PACIFIC. In yesterday's publication we gave a telegraphic sum miry of the news per the Magdalena arrived at kiouthamp ton the previous evening. We are no 7 in possession of our tiles of West Indian and South Pacific papers, and proceed to supply our readers with a summary of the more important items contained therein : The yellow fever had considerably abated, an 1 there were very few cases during the stay of the Magdalena at St. Thomas's, which she left at 2 p.m. on the Ist instant. She had eight eases of fever on the homeward voyage, three of which terminated fatally. WEST ILNDIgS. Advices from Demerara are to the 25th ult. Governor Wodehouse had left for England on leave of absence, and was expected to return to the colony in about six months. The Hon. William Walkerhad been appointed Lietitenant- Governor, and was to be sworn in on the afternoon of the 25th. The weather during the fortnight had been fine, with smart showers occasionally. The canes were looking well, but manufacturing operations were proceeding slowly on the estates. Ths exports for the fortnight amounted to —sugar, 1,749 hogsheads, 47 tierces, 4231 barrels, 55 bags ; rum, 1,046 puncheons, 167 hogsheads, 41 barrels ; molasses. 369 puncheons, 31 tierces, 16 barrel., 30 casks ; timber, 15 791 cubic feat; cocoa nuts, 31,200; charcoal, 751 barrels ; plantains, 600 hunches ; annatto, 50 ca,ks ; cotton, 120 bales ; flour, 200 barrels ; corn meal, 170 lb. A company was: being formed at Georgetown for the purpose of opening a road to the new gold diggings and prospecting in the interior. In the Court of Polley the Governor, in reply to a question of Dr. Blair, male the following statement in reference to the gold discoveries : —The principal question to be determined, before any actual steps could be taken in this matter, would be as to the exact position of the boundary between the British possessions here and the Spanish State of Venezuela, and wish reference to that question on the 9ch of June last he wrote to the Secretary of State to inform him that the reports of the discovery of gold in Venezuela were of considerable importance, and that it was likely they might be confirmed to a great extent; and there fore he urged upon the ..Home Government the necessity of furnishing the Government here, with the least possible delay, with positive instructions as to what were the boundaries to be claimed between this territory and Venezuela, and at the same time what support her Majesty's Government would be prepared to give in carrying out the decision they might come to. He also took the opportunity, looking at the probability of a road being formed into the interior, of asking that the Government here should be furnished with all possible instructions and directions with respect to the rights of the Crown, the rights of the colony, and the rights of individuals, and generally with the power, of making such arrangements as should be most advantageous to the colony. As he had stated, that des2atch went home on the 9th of June, and mid on'y have reached En eand on the 2nd of July. Bat as to the policy which the colony ought to pursue, his own opinion was that they should take advantage of the prestige which attached to the Engish name, and the security afforded by English insti tutions, to make this place, if possible, a depot for the digging., whether they were in our territory or in the Spanish territory. They ought to do all they could by joint action of the government here and the home govern ment to encourage enterprising people to come here on their way to the tigg nga, and to afford them safety in taking the gold away. They should endeavour, as far as their means went, to establish posts along the line, and means of conveyance from here to Massaroony, or wherever was the nearest point from the diggings, and satisfy parties that as soon as their geld was brought across our boundary, or within our territory, it nfeer be considered to be in perfect security. He thought if they did that they would probably attract to this place an enormous influx of people ; and he believed every class of the population would benefit, He did not think it would by any means follow that the planters would sustain any injury from such a course of proceeding, as in all probability a number of the persons that would come would settle down not only at the gold dig gings, but to other pursuits from which all would profit He would therefore be glad to see the colony, when the time came, making every effort to secure all the advantages of this discovery, which he thought would prove a very fortunate one. On the 29th ult. an extensive fire broke ont at a wharf at St. Thomas's commonly kn Avii as Stublys'a wharf, and owing to the quar. tity of coals deposited there, it very quickly assumed a serrous aspect ; out from the prompt attention of the crews of the Royal Mail Company's steamers Magdalena and Solent, aided by the engines of the company, the larger range of buildings was, after con siderable exertion saved. The coals still continued smouldering when the Magdalena left. The United States' frigate Saratoga was at Greytown, receiving Filibusters. At Barbadoes thefts was not much to notice. The health of the island eontinued good. From Grenada we have news to the 251 ult. A day of general thankagivi! g for a plentiful harvest, absence - of disease, and other "great mercies vouchsafed to the colony," had bean appointed for the following day (Sunday) by proclamation of the Lieutenant-Governor. The plantat ions over the entire island presented a most promising aspect, and the appearance of the whole country was most encouraging. From the other islands there is no news of importance. 'MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday Evening The Cotton Market keeps active, with prices on an advancing scale. Thu sales tc-lay are 10,000 bales, including 3,000 on speculation and for export. _ There was not so much business transacted in the Liverpool Share Market tr.-day, 'and prices must be quoted rather lower. The following were the day's sales !-Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 66; Caledonian, 3EI ; Eastern Counties, 11 7-16; Great Western, 53*; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 991, 991, 991, 90a ; London and North Western, 1021, 1021; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 40, 40*, 401,40 k ; Midland, 841. 841 ; North British, 431; Dovers, 211, 211 ; Dutch Rhenish 48 4a d ; Grand Tunic of Canada, 12* 12 0 -16, 12k, 12 9-16; Great Luxembourg 7 3-16; L;vornool and London Fire and Life, 8 p.

The demand for Money keeps active, and rather higher prices have been insisted upon for tha accommodation required. This is attribwed as much to the operations of those engaged in ship ping specie to India and China as to the wants of the commercial public. On Thursday next the bi monthly steamer leaves Southampton for those countries, and it is alleged that the total amount to be forwarded will approach, if it do not exceed, one million sterling. As the remitters seem to have delayed their purchase till the reception of the overland mails, numerous atrangements have been made during yesterday and to-day, and i tis thought that a large number of bills have been " melted" in order to secure supplies of silver. The tendency of the Money Market is still considered favourable, as trade, although improving, is by no means active, while it is satisfactory to notice that an entire freedom from speculation exists in - almost every branch of business. As the year advances, money will, no doubt, be more in request, but it is not thought that there is any good ground for predicting - the imposition of discount restrintions for some time to come. The market for the Public Funds and Securities to-day was very firm in the morning, but some few sales being pressed, a slight decline occurred in prices. Consols for Money ^losed at 91i to 911. and for the Acconnt, to 911 ; Exchequer Bills, 4 dis. to 2 pm . and the New Three per Cents, 9'i to 914. _ _ In the London Railway Share Market there was a moderate business done to-day,and prices were very firmly maintained. The following were the closing prices :—Caledonian, 751, 761 ; Eastern Counties, 11 7-16, 11 9-16; East Lancashire, 96, 97 ; Great Northern, 97, 98 ; Do.

We may observe, that the subject of the failure, as well as that of the forgery hap been the topic of general conversation in commercial circles. At the , same time, it is but proper to state, that the decease'd gentleman alluded to had nothing whatever, directly or indirectly, to do with the forgeries. The matter will no doubt undergo an investigation, and the mystery cleared up before many days are . over. The Grain Trade was rather brisk to-day, and in the leading articles of consumption there was an increase in price, though to a trifling extent. At the Manchester Market to-day spinners were asking I, per lb. advance, and. obtained fully a per lb., with a quiet demand. The rate of discount at Hamburgh has again risen to 7 per cent. in consequence of further amounts of bar silver having been exported to London. At present prices these silver shipments would leave a loss. Owing to the breaking of the cable, the 1,0001. shares of the Atlantic telegraph, on which 9001. has been paid, aro now offered at 2.501. discount. Just before the accident there were buyers at 51. 'dis count. The London Tallow Market has been Awry excited during the week, and some speculative purchases were made for delivery in September at high prices, 67s having been paid for that delivery on Friday. This advance brought forward sellers, and on Saturday the price declined to 63s 61 ; it has become rather steadier to-day, 64s 6d having been paid, but at the close there were no buyers above 645. The last three months have in some degree followed this advance, and considerable sales were made at-60s to 60s 61; our market, however, closes weak at 60s 31. The price comes higher from St. Petersburgh to-day; 10. e. is quoted on the spot, and 187 r. for August delivery. The exchange has declined to 37d. 14,000 casks are shipped off On the spot 64s 6d is paid for Y. C ; for South American, 63s Oct.; Oiessa, 64s 61 ; town tallow, 64s net cash. Our commercial advices from Valparaiso inform us that the Minister of Finance of the Republic of Chili had issued a decree, which reads as follows : Considering the difficulties that exist for national ships engaged in the coasting trade, to make the voyage to the North of Caldera to take previsions, implements, and other merchandise necessary for the labourers on the mines, and the consumption of the workmen. In use of the authority conferred by Act 15, Chap 1, of the Custom-house Regulation decrees. In addition to the circumstances under which, according to Act 15, Chap 1 of the Customs' regulations under which foreign ships can engage in the coastir"= trade, they may also take to the ports North of Caldera provisions, implements, and other merchandise necessary for the labourers in the mines, and the consumption or the work men. Business had slightly iniproved at Val paraiso. Exchange on London, 60 days, was quoted at 47d par dol., and frieghts to England 2/. 17s. 6 , 1 to 41. per ton. The following Were the rates of Chilean proluce :—Silver in bars, 810,56! to $10,56 per mare. Copper in bars, $1 per qql. lower, owing to late ad vices from England, but stocks are light, and holders refuse to sell at the reduced price. Hides, no transactions ; last sales $2O to $23 per qql.

July 12,a-rival at Panama on the morning of the 21st, with 14 passengers, 400,000 dole in specie, chiefly in silver bars, for England, and the semi-monthly mail from Valparaiso, Callao. and ocher South Pacific parts to the following dates:—Valpa raiso, June 30 ; IquiquA, July 1 ; Callao, 12th ; Paita, 16th. At Valparaiso toe installation of Congress hai caused a little animation. A project was introduced into the Be ate to grant a eomp'ete and general amnesty for all political offe3ces since 1F. 4 51, which was received with great favour and passed by a unanimous vote; but in the Chamber of Deputies the government opposed it, and the prrject was negatived by 30 votes to 16. The political trials that had been so long going on hhd closed ; some of the offenders were condemned to, death, but it was thought that the Government would - 6minute the sentence. The steamer Valdivia broke part of her machinery in a fearful storm she encountered between Lota and.Talcahuano, and was obliged to put hick. A number of houses were destroyed by fire in Cochrane-street, Valparaiso, on the 24th of June ; loss estimated at 200,000 dollars. The only news from Bolivia is that the elections had resulted in favour of the Government, owing, it was said, to the intimidation of the military. The President was shortly about to leave for Sucre, with his escort of 2,000 troops. 'Fries of Peruvian papers are to the 4th of July. The only news of importance is that the Vivanco party, whose head-qua tars were in the neighbourhood of Arequipa, had shown symptoms of vitali.y, and one of those events desig na,ed in the annals of Peru as " a battle" took place on the 29th ult. Both parties claim the vietory, and the loss of life on both sides was very small. The published ac eounts of this action vary very considerably. According to that which was considered most reliable, "Vim= left Arequipa on the 27th, with 2,000 men, and mat the forces of General San Roman on the morning of the 29th. Vivanco, being joined by 2,000 of the peasantry, the fight commenced at 11 a.m., and continued until .6 p.m , and resulted in 40 being killed and 100 wounded. After various evolutions effected on the Ist and 2nd, probably for the object of avoiding each other, a skirmish took place on the 3rd, in which General San Roman's baggage, some monen and papers, fell into the hands of the Vivaneistas. On the sth inst. President Castilla arrived at Aries, and was to take the command cf the army. The government steamer Haaras WAS to take troops from Calico to join the Government forces, and the frigate Apurimac (which still sides with Vivancol was &boo; to leave the Chinchits object of capt ur i ng h er .

The par of ex change being about 38d., a large profit is shown on shipments of Gold to this country, but the actual remittances are limited to very sm.lll sums, owing solely to the difficulty of obtaining Gold in Russia. The Bank professes to cash its notes in coin. but does not act up to its profession • if mer chants want any sums of importance they must pay a high premium to the money changers, who themselves cannot supply Gold to any consider able extent. The telegraphic advices from St. Petersburgh, extending to Saturday, also mention a further advance in the price of Tallow to 195 ro. on the spot, 187 ro. for August, and 184 ro. far Septem ber. The quantity of Tallow shipped off to date was 14.000 cask% against 23,000 to the same date last year. Letters from Constantinople state that the money market had been severely affected by the diplomatic rupture, the exchange on London rising nominally to 147 piastree, and the pride of sovereigns to 144 piastres. When the mail left. on the 6th instant, however, a calmer feeling prevailed. Mr. Gutstiniani, of. Constantinople, had offered to compound with his creditors on terms which would represent about 65 per cent. of their claims. The latest advises from Galatz, dated August 7, state that great activity prevailed in the market for Indian corn, the price of which, as well as freights. were rapidly rising. Orders were arriving daily from the shores of the Adriatic, where the crops have suffered severely from the drought. The Peruvian financial azents advertise the dividend, falling due on the Ist of September, on the Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Debt. The English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company announce a half-yearly dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The annual meeting of the British Telegraph Company is called for the 31si instant. The half-yearly meeting of the Boston, Sleaforth, and Midland Counties Railway Company is called for the 31st instant. The half-yearly meeting of the Blackwall Rtul way Company Was held to-day. The report stated that the sum available, was 151 143 6d, from which thd directors proposed a dividend of 2s 9d per share. The report was adopted. At the half-yearly meeting of the Londonderry and Eniskillen Railway Company to-day, a favour able report was received. The accounts showed a profit of 17,7371 for the half-year, out of which the various Preference Dividends were declared, and the balance remaining for next account was 701 4s 81. The report was adopted.
