TIM rapidly-increasing • intercourse between this Country and Ireland has rendered necessary a quicker and more efficient means cf transit than that which has hitherto been employed. To accomplish this deeidera _9pn many attempts have been made, but, up to a very recent period, no scheme had been devised capable of meeting the requirements of the commercial world. About twelve months ago, the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company employed Messrs. Laird and Son, the eminent shipbuilders,, to construct for them four steam boats, in order to effect an improved means of commu nication between Holyhead and Kingstown. Two of these boats were formerly launched ; one from the yard of Messrs. Laird and Son, in London, and the other (a few weeks since) from Birkenhead. On the latter occasion we presented our readers with a full description of the mode of construction which has been adopted, and which it is confidently expected will com pletely fulfill the requirements of the service . for which they are required; the boats being all of the same size, and on precisely the same plan, it is unnecessary to repeat here the details we then gave. The launch of the two remaining - vessels took place on Saturday morn ing at Birkenhead. A large and fashionable attendance honoured the •occasion with their presence: and the fineness of the weather aided in attracting an immense number of miscellaneous spectators. Shortly after eleven o'clock " The Munster" was christened by Mrs. Herbert, and the noble vessel glided gracefully and steadily into her watery element, the band of the yard striking up the National Anthem. "The Connaught" was christened by Miss Laird, who attended in place of Lady Corrie, who was prevented from being present by an indisposition THE DEJEITNER After the launch the party adjourned to Monks' Ferry Hotel to partake of luncheon, which was pro vided by Mr. Williams, of Birkenhead. Mr. Laird occupied the chair, and among the other distinguished personages by whom he was surrounded were the Earl of Enniskillen, Sir W. Wynne, Sir E. Gust, Bart., Sit Cusack Roney, Bart., John George, M.P., Mr. Herbert, M.P., Captain Mends, R.N., Mr. Watson, Mr. Earle, Mr. Reade, &e., &c. _ The heaths of the Queen and Prince Albert, Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family having been enthusiastically given, Th e , C HATRmA y prArneoa 410 44 A. 1,1”/ and NC,ry " In doing so he said that though mechanical subjects sometimes failed there was one thimg which never had and he believed never would fail, and that was the skill of the men commanding them. He had no doubt that when sufficiently good ships were obtained there would be no difficulty in finding men of skill and ability to command them. In connection with this toast he would connect the names of Sir E. Cust and Captain Mends. Sir EnWARD OUST, in responding on behalf of the army, said: Naturally belonging to a r .uresslon to which glory is dear, I re ...sr venture to say that no greater victor -I can be given to the army and navy than br 4 :ne inauguration of these two vessels to catty out And increase the connection between England nrt rieiand. The great enterprise which ohiracteristi t>ie Po.ople of this country *ill, I tialst, meet with no exception in this cash, bVit that the vessels which have this day been launched into the deep will amply justify the expectations of their designers. Captain MENos, R.N., in responding on behalf of the navy, felt very inadequate to convey his feelings with regard to the flattering toast which had been proposed. He had no misgivings respecting the service, but he held that it would not disappoint the expectations of the nation, if necessity demand that it should be called upon, They had just witnessed one of those sights so thiensely interesting to Englishmen. It was his good fortune to sett the first plate of those vessels laid in Mr. Laird's dock-yard; and he would take 'this opportunity of thanking Mr. Laird for the kindness with which he had permitted him to inspect the excellent models Which that gentleman's yard contained. It was but a few months since the first plates were put down, and now he defied them to point otit two more syrattletrical vessels on the waters of the Mersey. lie did not think it would be a very easy task to take those vessels across the Channel at night at the rate of 22 miles an hour. The next toast, " Success to the Munster and Con naught," was proposed by the Chairman. He felt groat pleasure in adding to the toast the health of Mrs. Herbert and Lady Currie. The former had performed her part of the duty in such a manner as to well enti- tle her to this toast. The latter was prevented by ill health from attending, and one of his own daughters acted as substitute. He did not think he need thank his friends Mr. Herbert and Mr. Watson for helping him into the position he now occupied. If they would look at the models on the tall, of the boats built in 1829, 1848, and 1860, for the same service as the ones which had just been launched, they would see a great difference between that of 1829 and their present one in 1860. The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company proposed this line to connect and cementmore closely the connection between England and Ireland. The first vessel was very properly christened by an English lady --Lady Chandos; the others have been christened by Irish ladies, because they were now fairly entitled to do so. He felt greatly indebted to Mrs. Herbert fbr coming from London expressly to be present on 'this occasion. (Cheers.) It showed the great interest that she took in an undertaking which her husband had always had so much at heart. Had it not been for Mr. Herbert and Mr. Corrie, travellers from this country to Ireland would have had to submit for many years to crossing by the present boats, which were admitted to be absurdly small. So much was this the case, that the Cambria, which was built in 1848, was coming to his yard to be lenghthened, and even then she would be only a small vessel. He had great pleasure in drinking the health of Mrs. Herbert, and he hoped she would take the first opportunity of personally testing the l efficiency of the boats. Mr. HERBERT, M.P., said—Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Lady Corrie and Mrs. Herbert I beg to return my sincere thanks for the honour you have just done them. It may seem almost ungracious iri me as the guest of Mr. Laird to begin by finding the slightest fault ; but I must find fault with him for not giving us the opportunity of drinking the health of the fair lady who performed the duty of christening of the other vessel. Greater credit was due to her, fer she required great manual skill. However, she did it so well that I am sure every gentleman here can appreciate the motives of our host in_ not allowing us to drink her health. It is 'the invariable custom for a lady to perform the interesting ceremony which we have witnessed this day; and there never was an occasion, on which ladies could be called upon to take a deep interest in this subject, more fitted than the present. When we consider that the main object of those who have endeavoured to forward the scheme of establishing an improved communication between Eng land and Ireland, has been to diminish the sufferings of the ladies in crossing the channel, nothing could be more appropriate than that the ladies should take a prominent part in the undertaking. Again, we all know the absolute sway which they hold over men ; we all know what an immense benefit it is to man that they should hold this sway over him,--in fact we don't know what we should do without it. ,They hold it by their good qualities and by their charms. It has been said that the two most beautiful things in the world are a ship under sail and a beautiful woman. But as to the ship, there is nothing in which a lady looks to so little advantage as in a steamboat, under a chopping sea. It is, therefore, natural that anything which will conduce to shorten the period in which woman's power is not so great as usual must be deeply interesting to both of us. Before I sit down I have to propose a toast. Fur many years I have taken a deep interest in this undertaking. In the year 1853 I moved on this subject in a committee in the House of Commons. The first person I had the honour of communicating with upon the subject was the gentleman—Mr. Watson— whose name I now venture to associate with the toast of the City of Dublin Steam-packet Company. Wh en I communicated with him we all foresaw the great difficulties we had to encounter in improving the com munication between this country and Ireland ; but we felt that these difficulties might, with energy and perse verance, be overcome. The great object that we had in view was to place before the public, in the shape of a parliamentary blue book, a kind of hand-book of the opinions of professional men of eminence, so that those qualified to express their opinion might see what could be done. I now feel a deep debt of gratitude to those professional men who kindly came forward to aid a man who had no knowledge on tie subject. Mr. Laird, Mr. Payne, Captain Clanton, and Brunel, one and all placed on record their opinions on the subject. When, there fore, our host gave me credit for bringing this subject before the public, I think he but gave himself credit for helping me as he did. I shall propose " Success to the City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company," coupled with the name of Mr. Watson. Mr. WATSON, in reply, said this was the third occa sion on which it had beeu bis privilege to return thanks for the company with which he was connected. This was the third launch, and they had all been successful. He would, in the first place, express his deep acknow ledgments to Mr. Herbert for the manner in which he had thanked the speaker. He had referred to the com mittee of 1853, but he had forgotten that he sat upon a committee in 1850. Mr. Herbert sat in that committee, and that was the first time he (Mr. Watson) had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with him. In speaking about shortening the time of remaining at Chester, Mr. He Th a r b t c e o r n t y m e r ad sa s o o n m w e a r s e t m h e a i c • k a a u s se b the v whic alue induced of the speaker to turn his attention to the subject, and he thought that as their company had been entrusted with the whole of the communication, it was their dnty to improve it as rt. p h o He s s e iGrbbol Herbert et r So mme nsmo eand e tm t iarnadb a yt f o t e p rt r eh sei t . d h e c e dyo.msmnbiTtinitheaettteopdvl plan n a r plan Ni ni ,h u i c c h h t o m as was the identical one which they were about to put in operation this summer. He then described the boats, which are the same as those which Mr. Laird has just built. lie trusted that before the month of July they would have two of the boats ready for trial. Their object in constructing them had been to attain extra ordinary speed, combined with safety and convenience for th 6 passengers. Of their speed they could not yet speak, but of their safety and convenience they could speak. Mr. Laird, on these points, had made many valuable suggestions, of which they bad availed them selves; so that, as far as human foresight could go, they had done everytb.img that lay within their grasp to secure safety, The gallant captain had alluded to com- ing across the Channel at the rate of twenty-two miles an hour; but he thought there would be no need to go at anything like that speed at night. He had already alluded to Mr. Herbert's kindness while on the committee ; and it was very gratifying to find that that gentleman's exertions were now ssccessful in the ful filment of what the public have a right to expect. He (Mr. Watson) thought that the comfort of the public was very important, and that the inconvenieneics of crossing the Channel would be very much diminished, so much so that they would find some little difficulty in getting the passengers out cf the ship, they would find it so pleasant. Be thought that everything would be done with Mr. Laird's assistance to make the thing as perfect as it could be. At the same time. when he looked back to their former ships, he remembered that the same thing had been thought when they were built, and pos sibly the time would come when they Would be with Mr. Laird again, and require him to make &ten larger vessels than the present. Before he sat down, he would thank Mrs. Herbert for coming down from Landon to name the ship. He hoped, however, that she would have no occasion to regret so doing, and that the first time she crosses to Ireland, she would use one of the boats just launched. The Earl of Envibicitinir said.-. 4 pleasing task has fallen - to me to propose the health of our chairman —the proprietor of the yard we have just visited, and the builder of the noble vessels we have ecen launched. It is to such men as Mr. Laird that a great deal of the glory of this country is due ; as a proof of which you have only to look at the great benefit which must accrue to both countries by the acceleration of speed to which these vessels will give rise. lam old enough to remem ber the time when an unfortatia,te passenger, Who Was going from Holyhead to Dublin, was first taken by a ferry-boat from Conway to Holyhead, where there was a small vessel awaiting to receive him, and start—if the wind permitted. (Laughter.) My father once waited at Holyhead for three weeks, and the first land he saw (after being out some time) was Carlingford. After cvc.ins o.aoh , 70€8013 as those, 1 may wall Congratalate you upon the improvement in our vessElt--I , thost have gust seen. With theni WO heed riot anticipate a delay of t*o hones, fthiCh less of three weeks. Mr. Limn, in reply, thanked Lord Enniskillen for the flattering manner in which he had proposed his health. Mr. GEORGE, M.P., proncama- th 6 next toast, which was, " The he ,::tin of the London and North Western tiortpaily." That company was one of the parties to the contract which has been entered into for improving the communication between England and Ireland. He diel.not think that a eingleaCt, - had beef lia4sed of more importani.:o to both countries than -tirat which 'd'tls passed a 'few years ago, to enable the Chester and the London and North-Western Companies to combine and form an independent communication to Holyhead. The .ren dering of the communication between England and Ireland more complete - by means of these steamers would confer a benefit upon the Empire at large. No union could be more complete than that which wilt he produced by the intercourse bet Ween the two ebtititries. That intercourse would now be entire and complete, and he believed that the arrangements of the land convey ance and of the City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company had rendered that communication as complete as any 'thing could possibly be. Anything that might have been done by sea would have been useless had it not been followed out on land ; and when the arrangements were fully completed, they would connect, net only London With Holyhead, or Liverpool with biblin, but England with Ireland ; so thit iio political influence will ever be able to sever the iron. bond Which will connect the two countries. (Cheers.) The passenger will leave London at seven or eight o'clock in the morn ing, and get to Dublin the same night. The efforts of the City of Dublin Steam-Packet Company would he , .ve been abortive had it not been that they, were followed out by the laud companies : it required the co-operation of both to make the scheme complete. In the certainty that the efforts of the two would be combined to render the scheme; effiCaeious, he had great confidence in proposing the health of the London awl North-Western Company. Mr. EARL replied for the rompary. In the absence of their Leal iiaudos, wliO - vas detained in London by business, it was his, duty to return thanks for the compliment which had been paid to the company. ' He had no ordinary pleasure in performing this duty, for, so unaccustomed were the ears of railway directors to hear their efforts spoken of well that the thanks of the present assembly could not but be most gratifying to him. If the company to which he belonged did net originate the enterprise they cordially agreed in its adoption. But they . Were - not alone iu this, for he *as happy to say that they had secured the ee-dperation of the City of bublin Steam Packet Company. Long experience dud successful management afforded the best security for the successful performance of the land portion of thecontlact. The London and North-Western Company had engines inferior to none and superior to many. They had also drivers of great experience. He could scarcely call the present scheme an experiment, as the surest means had been taken for securing success, by employing Mr. Laird to build the vessels required. HO hoped that this would be no drawn battle, bill that Aft. Laird would tarry away the champion's belt, and that the boats which he constructed would be the most com fortable and the most anti-sea-sick ones which have yet been made. Mr. WA.r..roLl proposed "The Commerce of the Mersey." He hoped that it would long be as continued and as progressive as it had been, from the earliest times to the present. ite could well recollect when it *as his privilege to visit, for the first time„ the town of Liver pool. On that occasion he stumbled upon a petition to Queen Elizabeth, which stated that the total number of ships in the port was not more than 150, and that their tonnage was less than 1,000 tons. At the time to which he alluded there was not a hfrget vessel itt the Mersey than that represented by the model of the boat built in 1829 ; and he need not say that if he then felt the con trast to be a most pleasing one, how much more so was it now. With this toast he would couple the names of Mr. Torr and Mr. Btazely. In the absence of Mr. Torr, Mr. Beanly responded. Owing, as he did, so very much to the trade and com merce of the port, it would ill beconie him if he did nr,t respond to such a tout as the one they had just pro posed. In looking at the five miles of docks, of which the port could boast, they might forget that those mag nificent docks were managed by twenty-four men, who devoted their time to that object without any remunera tion whatever. And yet their Manchester friends were not satisfied, bat expected them to do without their dock dues. IN was glad to notice that the toast was " The Commerce of the Mersey"—it used to be "The Town and Trade." Liverpool was now represented by two members, and by the new Reform Bill Birkenhead would be entitled to one; and he knew of no one more quali fied to represent them than their worthy chairman. He hoped that when the time of election came no one would have the bad taste to oppose him, but that he would be returned to represent them in Parliament. The CitAlßlki/N felt greatly indebted to tite many gen- tlemen who had come so long a distance to be present on this occasion. He would propose the health of the " Cheshire foxhunter," coupled with the names of Lord Grosvenor and Sir Watkin Wynne. Sir Wicrxrx WYNNZ thanked Mr. Laird for the toast he had proposed. He did not know how hunting was connected with such a Meeting as the present, unless by the likeness which existed between the hounds in a chase and a ship crossing the ocean. Mr. JOHN GEORGE, M.P., proposed the health of the engineers connected with the design. The toast was warmly received. 'The CHAIRMAN proposed "the Press," which was responded to by Mr. Reade, of the Mechanics' Magazine. Sir CUSACK RONBY, in a humorous speech, proposed, as the concluding toast, " The Ladies," which was received with great cordialty. MISS HILES'S FAREWELL CONCERT. The public of Liverpool are about to lose one of their most popular local songstresses. Miss Hiles, well known at numerous concerts given by the Festival Choral Society and other parties ; also taking the lead of the Philharmonic chorus, officiating at the Asylum of the Blind as leading vocalist, and, we believe, in structress, will take a farewell of her friends, at St. George's-hall, to-morrow night. She will be assisted in her concert by Madame Moritz, one of the finest per-_ formers on the piano-forte at present existing, and a most expressive singerlikewise. Miss Clara Hiles, Mr. Price, of the Manchester concerts, and Mr. E. Cuzner will alsoting. Mr. E. AV. Thomas will play a solo on the violin, and Mr. Best will perform on the magnificent organ of St. George's-hall. The concert will - be given under dis tinguished patronage :—His worship the Mayor ; the commanders of. all the , rifle and artillery companies ; Preston, James Holme, J. H. Turner, Hard ' man Eaxlo, Robertson Gladstone, and J. Aspivall Tobin, Esquires ; and the committee of the school for the blind. The Philharmonic Stadety will, doubtleis ; also support her, and so should the Festival Choral Society, for which she has frequently done good service. Miss Hiles is going to prosecute her studies in her profession, and looks for support to the Liverpool public, which she well deserves, and we trust that in so good a cause she will not be disappointed. NATIONAL CONSUMPTION OF WINE. — The Ministers of Agriculture of France gives the followin g as the consumption of wine in different , countries, in gallons per capite to the population :—Fran . ce, 22 ; Portugal 22, Austria, 13; Switzerland; 13 ; Spain, 7 ; England, one fifth of a gallon. In America, it is too small for calcu lationthat is, the pure juice of the grape. Italy is a large wine producing and wine consuming country, and Theodore Parker writes from Rome that during the four months he has been in that city he has u9t seen a drunken man. • THE SLAVE TRADE IN CHINA. The slave trade in He most odious mid unmitigated form is now in action bet Ween the emits of China :and those of Cuba. At first thete *ere foiind among .the famishing populations of those. crowded coasts ,volunteers for this emigration. The Chinese were not unwilling to go abroad if tkey thought there were reason able phancee of making money and eventually returning home. But after a while this vohintary emigration ceased. The relations of those who went heard nothing of their brethren who left year after year for Cuba. No letters came back, or, if they heard rumours that letters had been received, they got none themselves. No man, at least; returned. Naturally timid and suspicious, they • hung back. Then accounts were spread abroad that. the coolies were illstreated on the .voyage, that many died on the passage, that those who . *did arrive did not make their fortunes as had been promised—far from it, unless, as, poor. wretches, they no doubt esteemed it, it was good fortune for them to die. Volunteer coolies could no longer be got. But the trade was a paying Ole; it paid tiny hundreds per cent. If coolies did not - come forward, agents among 'their own countrymen might be got to Pursuade *them. So much a head was Bid for every reernit*not very much at twat; The . abonbiatiOn of the 'traffic was still :hid; the coolie oiiee on Sears sous safe. The European public in China still looked on without much suspicion. All the crimp had to do was to get the man on board; the captain would see to the rest. Not much was required. It was easy to make a man drunk and carry him off to the ship. The supply was once more equal to the demand, but it•was not long before every one in the neighbourhood became S'easible of the means by IN;hic4 every ease was got to gether. diiinamen are obstinate &ilovi-s,. and thde coolies were not to be persuaded that, once on board, it was better to. ,remain there. They oftentimes deter mined to escape, were it by the massacre of the captain and the crew, or by other desperate methods, adopted, net once, but many times ; awakening all the Chinese population at last to a sense of the nature of this trade. goalies would . not now go on any consideration. Many thitsirig their thildreti httilted e their kidnappers to the death. There was a panic an d a cry of vengeance. The Chineie were seen in some villages tying the Chinese agents to crosses, to be tortured to their end with burning joss-sticks. Others were found by passing villagers starved to death; sometimes a sharp bamboo under their chins, their hands tied behind them, acid a bowl of rice placed so that they, ,could see it;, We ll , it—tans:tiling but get it it: Kidiiii3pitig lied its risks now, and was not to be undertaken lightly. The price for men went up 25 dollars, 30 dollars, 45 dollars, 60 dollars, and even more iand kidnapping went on brisker than fiver. gong of respectable fathers were carried off, sometimes of fathers connected with foreigners, eompra dores, • merchants, and the like. Kidnapping was carried on in open day. ft was unsafe for a Chinaman to *talk about at night. hid an Edrepean resident at Canton want to scud kritesdage after dirk, his " boy" would refthte to go . There was no p o ssibility of s*; t,O fo±row hire hone to reCeive, the money for any purchased article. The terror of the populace had become so great that a suspicion of being a kidnapper was sufficient to arouse the populace against any. indiiidual. Mr. Lay, the most . popular European in China, was horribly mangled by the knives of a Chinese mob for attempting to rescue a wretch who was unjustly suspected of being connected *ilh some liiditappere in the nerth. Now the inconve nience made itself felt to foreigners, silatlittiliint men began to consider. While this was so—while the Can tonese, crushed and cowed by late events,' were still un;• able to.muster up courage to cry out *against the Eu ropean slavers, the affair at Taku gave confidence to the Northerners to denounce the system, which was no less in operation there, and we fear wider the auspices of official Pergend, who eompromised their own and their hoiiiitry‘s hone& by theii Cottdtict in this mat ter, TW6 or three murders mid the threatening of the whole Shanghai community, shoWed the excitement that ` ' vas just bursting; arid' brought these whose business it was to note Mid deal with thde matters to a dente Of their danger. Then it *tie that Lao, the Governor-General of the Ctuangs, sent down a Commission of Mandarins, with an English intapreter, to insist that the coolies on board the ships then lying at Whampua should be examined by them before the ships should receive their clearance. It is from this tOmmissian that the depositions already published proceed. Private correspon4ence describes the scenes that took plate on board these, vessels as of the most, frightfiil 'Character. The imericiart cif:tains *ere bad enough, but the conduct of .a certain Von Carlovitz, who represents the potent maritime State Of Oldenburg, which may or may not have a sea -1 port, but which has, it seems, a 'flag to disgrace, is related in terms which may not be repeated without Very ample verification. - It seems certain, however, that he resisted the proceedings of the Mandarins, and that some of the captives, in despair, cast themselves over board, and were dro*ned, *hen they believed that they were remitted to the hands of their Oldenburg Masters.

ThS at this Fissociation was Meld on Saturday at Willis's Roonis, fdt the piirpose of rectiOirig the report of the committee, and traniatA lug the oidindry business of the society. The chair was taken by Itis Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and there were present the Bishop of Oxford, Sir John Lawrence, Sir Richard Dacres, and other friends of the charity. His Royal Highness briefly stated the objects of the charity, and stated that it was established during the time of the Russian war, for the pur pose of affording assistance to the *Wes and fami lies df soldiers and sailors who were left at home, too often in great distress. The society had rendered great service in this . direction ; but it would be a matter of deep regret if it were to cease to exist, as there Was a large field in Which it might labour with great benefit. The campaign in India, which had followed the Russian war, had made considerable calls upon the funds of the society, and he was happy to find that groat good had resulted from its operations, and he considered the society as, in every respect, deserving of the support of the public. The report read by the secretary gave a detailed state ment of the operations of the association bring the past year. The meeting was addressed by the Bari of Shaftesbury, the Bishop of Oxford, and other speakers, and resolu tions, pledging the meeting to support the society, were unazimonsly agreed to. The beauty of women and the sweetness of the sugar cane bring satiety ; but with the words of wisdom you can never be filled. ►STRENGTH OF ICE.--Recent experiments in Germany show that when the thickness of ice is an inch and a half, it will just bear the weight of a single man; when about three inches and a half ) it will bear detachments of infantry with their ranks rather wide apart ; with a thickness of four and four-tenths inches, eight•pounders can be conveyed over it on sledges ; five and two-tenths inches will bear twelve-pounders ; eight inches will bear treutyfour-pounders ; and a thickness of tweh - e inches will bear almost any weight. CLOVER.—Every farmer should hare e piece of clover, whatever other soiling crops he may raise; it not only makes up the variety necessary to keep cattle in health, but its yield is large and profitable; it takes less from the soil, and more from the atmosphere, than most other green crops, and the portion remaining in the soil contains material to improve its mechanical condition, as well as to progress the inorganic constituents which it elevates from the eub-scrll after sub-6011 plouglziug, and is almost sure of success on any soil 'worthy of cultivation. CATERPILLARS.'—With a little watchfulness and care in searching for caterpillars' eggs, and destroying them before the leaves of fruit trees put out, and before the worms hatch, you thus sate the trees from injury, or a greater amount of labour In killing the worms in the nest after they hatch, and when other work is pressing. A little practice will enable one to detect them on the small branches of the cherry and apple trees. The eggs are deposited end-wise in a little bunch around the limb, and very ingeniously covered with a kind of gum or cement to protect the embryo worms from injury by the weather. THE BEAUTY or THE FEMALE Eiri.---The fashion now so prevalent among the ladies, in dressing the hair, entirely conceals that beautiful organ the ear, and it is to he feared that it will give rise in many' instances to ear disease. It certainly was never intended by nature. " It is as difficult (said Knox in his _Artistic Economy) to find a perfect human ear, as it is a perfect human being." But although we seek not for perfection in human form and features, we are fully aware that nature has provided us with those organs which arc not only adapted to useful but to ornamental purposes. The ear of itself is a beautiful relief to the sides of the face, proportioning the symmetry of , the head to an exquisite exactness. The use of this orgo is as much dependent ou atmospheric influence as the eye. Air is as essential to hearing as to seeing. and yet the air is perfectly excluded from the ear by, the modern style of dressing and encumbering the hair. Folds of bando line, horsehair, wool, and such like artificial commodi ties, which resemble an imitation of a bird's nest in the cage of a goldfinch ov canary, are now employed by lathes to give the appearance of a superabundant crop . of nature's charming appendage to the peri cranium. "The auricle is beautifully adapted," writes Mr. Harvey, "so to collect and reflect the rays of sound, as to conducao the well-being of the race in various rays." We have high authority for asserting that hundreds of cases of deafness among our female population are every week, in London alone, submitted to the opinion of aurists, and are proved to have arisen from this absurd and unnatural fashion of bolstering up the hair with a large pillow of superficial matter, thereby pre venting a free and indispensable current of the external atmosphere, and concealing that beautiful organ which was designed to be one of nature's prettiest attractions. Let young ladies take a hint from these facts, and cease to deform the ear with a bundle of horse-hair and black wool, continually pressing on it , to destroy its shape, usefulness, and beauty,— Weekly Magazine. BELLIGERENT-.RIGHTS AT SEA. Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M.P., reopens this - discussion kith a vievt to- haYiug the question more thoroughly sifted, find also of ascertaining the actual state of the law on the point. He peints out the effect of what. was done at the Paris Conference in 1856 : The parties to the cOnfeience declared privatcering to be ' abolished. Cinieurrently they estatlcsbed the long-contested rights Of neutrals, and declared that the neutral _flag made free goods. and that neutral goods, with the exception of contraband of war, were not liable to capture under the enemy's flag. But they made no attempt to solve the difficult problem as to what goods were to be considered contraband, so that, practically, the plenipotentiaries did little to effect. the very laudable objects they appear to bare had in vier. The effect, however, of the declaration has been that upon the mere rumour of war, the neutral maritime powers least likely to be involved in hostilities command a decided preference in the carrying trade of the world, to the injury of the British ehipowner, and oonsequently of the nation at large. Mr. Lindsay adds : "In considering this question, only t-vc =uses appear to rzn to bE, aim to us. Our shipowners have either a right to be pro tected in the prosecution of their otherwise hazardous occupa tion during war, or the' have a right to demand that private propeity shall be as free from capture traversing the ocean is their ships as it would be in the vessels of any other nation." Ile argues that our colonies will especially feel the dii. advantage in any maritime •tar, and continua : "We are in a grave dilemma. We must either abrogate the dealariiti6n of 13:% or adVinCe a step further, and endeavour to secure the immunity of our merchant ship?, from capture in time of war. To this latter alternative I sin a4iiri that many objections have been raised. It has been said that as We are essentially a great naval people, pre-eminently mighty in mari time resources and power, we should forego the advantages we at present possess of burning, capturing, and destroying an enemy's vessels. But the answer to this appears to me to be, that our risks on the seas are more than commensurate with cur naval resources and power. The chance of loss far exceeds the chance of gain. We have much more property afloat than all the ether nations of Europe put together, and consequently we are more intelesthd ,than city other nation in the main tenance of any internatioarll 'hi eh would protect that property from capture. This is radt shipowner's question.' It is a national one of the highest order. G . Ur merchant shipping is the nursery of our naval strength, and the maineoUree from which our royal navy is replenished." As to the United States : " The Amerioan Government w•ae willing to agree to the propoiitioni trained by the plenipotentiaries at Parie, inclu tbe s'treft:Ca ~ af pfivateeriag, with the preliminary con dition that pritste piWrferty. at sea should no longer be sub ject to capture. But, on the auitOrity,of Lord Palmerston. in his reply to me in the Bonze of Corirtione i it 357, Lana sorry to find that the Government of. the United States had expressed a wish to recede from the declaration of Mr. Marcy and President-Pierce, and that Mr. Buchanan made a com- Mttutcation that 'he did not wish that any answer should be Made ►e the Direouitinn a his preaeces,or_•,• In donchision, Mr. Lindsay says : "At all Oesits if iet tis know in what position we stand. Is the bitBj9ld deattrw.inii inticte in Paris cognisable by cur prize courts without the Queen's especial giaeliniation Will any learned jurist among your readers answer that quegtion It is of the gravest import. If our judges of the admiralty courts ignore or are competent to ignore that declaration, ought not the shipowners to be apprised of the state of the law as it will operate if a war should unhappily break out! The diffi culties which suggest themselves under the state of uncer tainty vitioh exists are incalculable." BARNUM'S LAST SPEECH AT NEW YORK. The other evening Mr. Barnum appeared, and made iii stilistiAte the following retherks, at the closing of his museum, N'ew York, fdr si slick recess LADIES .

But, at the forced sale of my Connecticut real estate, there was a purchaser behind the scenes of whom the world had little knowledge. In the day of my prosperity, I made over - to my wife much valuable property, inelu.ling the lease of this Museum buildmg-- a lease then having about twenty-t•vo years to run, and enhanced in value to mere than double its original wsrth. I sold the Museum collection to Messrs. Greenwood and Bailer, subject to my wife's separate interest in the lease, and she has received more than eighty . . thousand dollar, over and above the sum- , paid to the er?!nere of the building. Instead of selfishly applying this amount to private purpteeed, my family lived With a due regard to economy, and the saving! (stide:flY &longing to my wife) were devated to buying in portions of my estate at the. salience' sales, and to purchasing " clock notes " bearing my enderse mente. The christian name of my wife is Charity. I may well acknowlede-e, therefore. that I am not only a - proper "subject of charity," but that " wit:iont Charity, I am nothing.' But, ladies. and gentleman, while Charity thus laboured in my behalf, faith and hope were not idle. I have b een an yebid s hilt indolent during the last four years. Driven from pillar to post, and annoyed beyond description by ell sorts of legs claims and writs, I was perusing protests and summonses by Say; and dreaming of clocks ran cloWn by night. My head was e'er tctiir.. iii with dislocated cog-wheels and broken Mai nsprings, mY Whole mind (and my credit) was running upon tick, and everything pressing ob. Me like a dead weight. In this state of affairs I felt that I was cf ad hat on thie side of the Atlantic; so, giving the pendulum a swing ; and edeing time by the forelock, I went to Europe. There I fdrtively pulled the wires of several exhibitions, among which that of Tom Thumb may be mentioned for example. I inanagod a variety of musical and commercial speculations in Great Britain, Germany, and Holland. These enterprises, together etieth the net profits of my public lectures, enabled me to remit large sums to confidential agents for the ,purchase of my ohlie gations. In this manner I qUietly extinguished, little by little, every dollar of my clock liabilitieK. * • a a There is one other point on which I wish to ssu. a few words. Many people have wondered that a man Considered so acute as myself should have been deluded into embarraeements like mine, and not a few have declared, in short metre that " Barnum e.*as a fool." I eau only reply that...l never made pretensions to the 'sharpness of a paWnbroker, and I hope I• shall never more entirely lose confidence in 111.:tnin nature as to confider every man a scamp by instinct or a ilgue by necessity. "It is better to be deceivad sometimes than to distrust always ;" so says Lord .Bacon, and I agree with him. Experience is said to be a hard schoolmaster, but I should be sorry to fell that th's great lesson in adversity has notbrought forth frnits.of some value. I needed the discipline that this tribulation has given me. and I really feel, after all, that this, .like • many other " apparent evils," was only a "blessing in disguise." Indeed, I may mention en paszent that the very clock factory which I bui:t in Bridgeport, for the purpose of bringing one hundred workmen to that city, has been purchased and. quadrupled in size by the Wheeler and Wilson Seeing Machine Company, and is now filled with intelligent New England mechanics, whose families add two . thousand to the population, and who are doing a great work in building up and beautifying that flourishing city. 6o that the same concern which prostrated me seems destined as a most important agent towards my recuperation. In conclu sion, I beg to assure you and the public, that my chief plea sure, while health and strength are snared me, will be to cater for you and their healthy ttansementand instruction. I have established connections in Europe which will enable me to produce here a succession of interesting novelties otherwise inaccessible. Although I shall be personally present much of the time, and hope to meet many of.my.old acquaintances, as well as form many new ones. CATS.—At the expense of being considered hyper critical, and following up in the wake of fine financial calculations, I would, with all deference, recommend our renowned Chancellor of the Exchequer to impose a tax on that universally favourite animal, the cat.

HARRISON.-011C of the passengers by the steam-ship Canada brought a beautiful gift to the widow of the late Captain Harrison, of the Great Eastern, from a number of the citizens of Boston. The present consisted of a black enamelled brooch and ear rings, all richly set with diamonds, arranged in wreaths, round a large centre brilliant. Upon each of the three pieces is engraved the words "Presented to Mrs. Har mon, from the friends of Captain Harrison in Boston." THE CALORIC ENGINE.— fIIC consumption of coal for an 18-inch piston ,two-horse power engine, working ten hours each day, for a week, would be about 3401b5. It takes about thirty minutes to fire up, and after the engine is put in motion it recc.iires no other care than to supply the ;rate with coal, and to keep the machinery properly oiled. Its management cen be entrusted to any careful person, however inexperienced. The cost is about £llO. A CHINESE BATTLE is as good as a farce. Some of the little fights at Shanghai were very amusing. One day, when a great many soldiers went out, I saw more of the combat than was pleasant. Having got into the line of fire, I was forced to take shelter behind a grave, the bullets striking the grave from each side every second. Why they et ne my way it was difficult to discover, for they ought to have passed on the other side of a creek, about twenty yards distant, to the people they were intended for; but to see the dodging of the soldiers, then of the rebels, each trying to evade the other, was almost amusing. One fellow, ready primed and loaded, would rush ep the side of the grave-hillock, drop his matchlock o:er the top and without taking aim, blaze away. There is no ramrod required for the shot they use ; the bulet or bar of iron is merely dropped in loose upon the polder. There was a fine scene on an occa sion when tie Shanghai rebels made a sortie ; one of the men wet cut off by an imperial skirmisher, who had his piece loafed. The rebel had no time to charge his, so he ran round and round a grave, which was high enough to kep his enemy from shooting him when on the oppositeside. Hare hunting is nothing to it. Red ' cap described hosts of circles, and the Royalist was fast getting blovn, when the gods took pity on his wind, for, by some unlucky chance, the rebel tripped and fell. The soldier was at him in a moment, and to make sure of his prize, put the muzzle of his matchlock to Red cap's head, fired, and took to his heels as fast as he could go ! It is lifficult to say who was most astonished when Mr. led-cap did exactly the, same ! The bullet that droppid down readily on the powder, fell out as easily 'whet the barrel was depressed. The rebel got off with a pod singing of his long hair.—TweNe Years in Gana, MUSICAL, DRAMATIC, LITERARY, AND ARTISTIC NEWS AND GOSSIP. - The Pyne- and Harrison English .Opera Company will appear at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, this evening, in Meyerlyeer's opera of " Dinorah."

The Royal Academy has voted the sum of £5O in aid of the rentale School of Art in Gower-street. This act (says the AtArwe , fia) is not only valuable to the Gower street Institution on account of its generosity, but also on account of its exattiple. Government has withdrawn from this school its small grant in aid. The school must, therefore, for the present, work on ita own re sources, or not at all. Among the prompt and muniffeent Mends of a very useful institution we are glad to mark the members of the Royal Academy. LAW REPORT. dittT OF CIIANCtRY, APRIL 19. (Before the Lard Chaneettor and the Lords Justices • of *peak) PEARCE V. LINIPSAY. ' . . The plaintiffs in this suit are shipbrokers at Liverpool and the defendants shipbrokers in London, and the hill_ was filed for an account of all dealings and transactions between the parties at the port at Havre since the 13th day. of February, 18.51, in respect of the chartering Ameliven vessels to carry cargoes of iron to the American market., and the commissions received thereon ; and also as account of all dealings and transactions in respect to Anierican vessels in any business whatever carried on -since . the leth of January, 1852; either at London or at any English oritporte, or through ' agents 'in the United States of America, and of the commissions earned by the defendants iu respect thereof, except as to vessels proved by the defendants not to have been influenced by the plaintiffs. The litigation, which has been of a very heavy and expensive character, was brought in the first instance before Vice-Chancellor Wood, and thence on appeal to this Court, and resulted practiCally in favour of the plaintiffs. The decree, iiifer Itti,;, directed an inquiry to ascertain whether the arreugement of 185, and whether' the arrangement for exclusive correspondence, or either of them, were or was at any and what time determined or abandoned by either the plaintiffs or defendants with the kuowledge and acquiesence of the others. The effect of this direction was brought under the considera tion of the Vice-Chancellor, and his Honour, in giving . judgment, said that the Court of Appeal by its decree had determined that exclusive correspondence did exist between the parties, but modified by the arrangement, and as he was_ unable to discover any proof of such exclusive c'eriespOnderice having been put an end to, he must hold that it existed down to the date of the decree._ From that decision the present appeal was brought. Sir H. Cairns, Mr. Gifford, and Arr. it. Con appeared for the appellants-(the defendants) ; Mr. Reit, Mr. W.: M. James, and Mr. Turner supported the order of the Viee-Chancellor. e —judgment reserved. - - _ rrauct V. LIND3A.Y. This was another motion in the same suit relating to the taxation of ,the costs. It appeared that upon the hearing before the Vice-Chancellor - only two counsel were retained for the plaintiffs, but three counsel ap peared for them on the hearing of the appeal. The de fendants wete condemned in the 'costs of the appeal, and before the taxing master they insisted that by the rule of the court - the -- cost 4 two' counsel only could be allowed between party and salty. The Master, however, thought the case an exceptional one, as the' correspondence alone extended to 7,500 folios, and the hearing of the appeal had occupied the Court seven days, and allowed the extra counsel.. The defendants then appealed to the Vice-Chancellor, who reversed the decision of the Master on the ground that he was of opihion that the rule wat; inflexible. From this order the plaintiffs appealed. . Mr. W. M.... James and Mr. Turner were for the appellants ; Mr, G.,iffard and Mr. H. Cox for the respan dents. The Lord Chancellor said that, without doubt, the rule of the court was that the cost of only two counsel should be allowed on taxation. This rule, however, was not inflexible, but it was the duty of the patty ask ing for its relaxation to satisfy the court that it was a proper case to allow the fees of three counsel. The case cited proved that, in certain instances, such a deviation from the rule was permitted, and therefore all that the court had to look at in the present case was whether orsnot it came within the exception to the rule. Considering the enormous length of the pleadings, and the time the case occupied on the appeal, ha WU of opinion it was most reasonable that the costs •of three counsels should be alloWed. The order of the Vice-Chancellor must therefore be•varied to that extent. The Lords Justices concurred. A general meeting of the shareholders of the Northern Railwif has been appointed for the 21st of May next. . THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. — SuIeendy do we hope that Mr. Tennyson's example may retard the downfall of the noblest living language. Our . most popular writers are most vicious in style. Lord Macitalay's balanced antithesis and empty glitter of metaphor, have had enormous influence; the style is a mechanical one, and the numerous gentlemen who write - Mies leaders out-Macaulay Macaulay daily. Mr. De Quincy and Mr. Landor, who can write prose, are little read. Mr. Carlyle writes simple common-places in a vulgarly arti ficial and inverted and inflated style. Mr. Ruskin ' in whose writings " what is true is not new, and what is new is not true," drowns his meaning in.terribly long sentences, full of wonderfully euphonious words. Mr. Dickens never could write English. Mr. Tbackerav mistakes slang for English. The only popular and influential writer of undefiled English is Mr. Tennyson. ---"ldy/is of the King," ih the Constitutional Press. COUNTERFEIT BANK 'or ENGLAND NOTE:S.—At the Wolverhampton Police Court, a full-faced, tall young woman, respectably attired, and who gave her name as Sarah Jones, was placed in the dock, charged with passing four counterfeit Bank of England £5 notes to as many tradesmen, all drapers—two in Wolverhampton, one at Westbromwich, and the fourth at Great Bridge, also in South Staffordshire. The authorities of th e Bank of England prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended. It seemed to be the practice of the prisoner to make purchases of drapery goods to the value of about '2os, and then tender a . £s note in payment. Iu th ree of the eases she -was'quite successful, but in the fourth. Mr. Edwards, draper, of Wolverhampton, expressed his doubts as to the genuineness of the note to the p r i soner, who replied that c her husband had just given it to her, and left the house professedly to find him. Meeting a " friend," the necessary amo unt was given to her, and the prisoner tried to get the note back. By this time the police had arrived, and Jones was arrested. The prisoner subsequently admitted that she was unmarried, and there is no doubt that she was the tool of the man who found'her the money in the street. The notes had an impressed water mark, instead of the usual water mark. She was committed for trial, on all the charges, a t the put Staffordshire assizes. TOM SAYERS ON 'CHANGE. Last Saturday the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange r -London, ....presented .an unusual appearance of activity ; crowds of per r ions were assembled in all the thoroughfares leading td place of business, anxious to witness the arrival of the Champion of Eng land, who, it was announced, would be received by the members of the Stock Exchange, to' be pre. seated with a purse of a hundred guineas, which had been subscribed for him, as a mark of approbation by its members of the great courage which he had displayed iu the _recent pugilistic contest, The hour stated for the arrival of the Champion was two o'clock, but Sayers made his appearance at a quarter to twelve ; but although two hams earlier than the time publicly stated, there were large numbers of persons pre sen t. Tom Sayers, with one of his backers, Mr. Ben nett, was introduced to the Stock Exchange by one of its most active members. Immediately on his entering the room all business was suspended ; the brokers left the desks and crowded around their distinguished visitor, anxious to catch a glimpse of the man who has been the sobject of conversation for the last four days in every part of the country. T om was somewhat taken aback by the extraordinary reception given to him, and as be was conducted round the room was evidently more surprised than when receiving puni s h.. meat from the Benicia: Boy. After having made the tour of the room, Sayers was mounted on a table in the French Market, and gracefully acknowledged the repeated cheers of the members, and in a few homely and earnest words thanked those present for the kindness they had dis played towards him. 'He seemed much affected by the extraordinary scene before him, and those who were standine close by might have seen a tear or two trickling down iris face. His appearance showed no signs whatever of that tremendous castigation which he was stated to have experienced ; and but for having his arm bound in a black silk handkerchief, there was nothing whatever to indicate that he was in the least disabled. One of the members of the Stock Exchange expressed his surprise that he should be looking so well after the twenty knock-down blows which he was said to have received, and to this Sayers replied good-humouredly that it was a bit of a wonder to himself, but he said he was sorry he had not had ten minutes more with his opponent. Another gentleman asked if it was true that his opponent was so much disabled as had been stated, it having been reported that Heenan was confined to his bed, and even that he was dead. Sayers replied that it must have been a very sudden affair, for that he had passed a Dart of tho previous night with him, and there then mensal to be nothiug very serious the matter with him. The "house" was unusually crowded on the occasion, and Sir Hobart Carden and most of the principal members were present. On leaving the Stock Ex change Sayers was accompanied to the cab by one of the members of the Exchange most active in getting up the subscription, and a bag containing about 100 guineas was handed to him. The members of the St oc k Exchange have almost unanimously considered that this tribute to the courage of the Champion was entirely in the way of business. The " pluck" which he displayed in the encounter is claimed to be an attribute of John " Bull," and the hugging which he escaped from the hands of his adversary was considered but an operation of a "bear." It is held, too, that the courage and skill of Heenan, at first at a "discount," is now at " par, " an d the science and endurance of Sayers may be quoted at, a "premium." During the contest the exchanges" fluctuated with great rapidity, and the transactions on the successive "falls" and "rises" of the Champion created great activity in the market. The "settle ment" was, it is said, a very. heavy one, and the "continuation," if the fight is resumed, will a ff or d opportunity for great speculation. Of this there ca n b e no doubt that for some time past there has not been a visitor to the city who has been received with greater enthusiasm, and that Sayers may reckon among the stockbrokers of the city, many who are grateful to him fOr having saved their bets and enabled them to close their accounts Without loss, and who are still prepared to " invest " largely iu any future enterprise with which he may be associated CASE OF EMBEZZLEMENT. On Friday afternoon Mr. Wm. G. Pullinger, chief cushier of the Union Bank of London, and who has beet connected with that establishment since its forma tion, Was carried before the Lord Mayor, charged with misappropriAing a sum of £360 belonging to the bank. It is understood that the prisoner admits" that he applied the money —to meeting losses on . Stock Exchange. This is, unhappily, only one !int Of several charges against him. -- The total amount embezAled will, it; is feated, be found to reach a considerable sum. A committee of the boutd are now engaged in an investigation. The prisone'r's ealaty was £6OO a-year. The discatery of this lamentable affair has--excited a very painful sensation, After the detection of Robson and Redpatb the com mittee of the Stock Exchange issued a notice to their members, cautioning them against transacting any speculative businetss for account of clerks employed in' mercantile banking or other establishments. The present appears to be a case Imposing on the committee the necessity of enquiry. ir*, .SarxigOip.:.4o...eat4s.
