government notes, probably such as are known to our
readers by the sow familiar term "greenbacks." Several
months ago information was communicated, enoopoonaly,
to the police sod the American minister, that an engraver
in this town was doing a brisk trade in the manufacture of
American notes. This information was communicated
about the time when the great reward wee offered for the
discovm, of the Bank of England note forgers, and it is
supposed that the informer had in view a similar goldea
reward in this case. Further details were given, in a letter
signed with the real name of the writer, and the infor-

LONDOTI, TUESDAY, APRIL 14.

In his prose-epic on the Crimean War, Mr.
KINGLLIZ speaks of the Guards going into action
as an event of far more than merely national
importance; as something only comparable to those
Homeric episodes in white a god or a goddess is
engaged in combat with mortal foes. A list of
killed and wounded in a regiment of the Line fills
many ordinary English homes with mourning, but
when a battalion of the Guards takes its privileged
place is the foremost ranks of danger and of
death, a thrill of agony is felt through the se-
leetesteireles of England, and the "cream" of Society
is shaken, and its habitual superiority to vulgar
emotions made to feel what wretches feel when their
dear ones die. The distinction which the writer
from a Pall-Mall point of view' and with
skew mythological instincts, would draw, is one
which, whether on behalf of the Guards or of any
section of English society, we should most un-
willingly accept. This nation knows no graduated
morrow for the brave men of high or of humble
birth who die at the post of duty in the service
of their country. We should be sorry to imagine
a "fashionable column " devoted to Guardsmen
fallen in action, or to "set class against class"
among those who lie together in the proud equality
of heroic graves. But if there be one national
loss more than another which stirs the hearts of
Englishmen all over the world, it is such mithat
which last February struck the great communities of

our countrymen in the South Pacific, and fell upon
its here a week ago. It is happily so seldom that
one of Her Mmierv's ships is lost, that an e►ent
like the wreck of the Orpheus is felt like the
sudden death in a family of a siren son, full of
health and hope, and in the prime of his days.
There is everything to make the loss of • British
man-of-war the most unexpected of all accidents
within mortal ken, the mart difficult to &mount
far. In the case of • merchant ship it is easy to
conjecture mamma, or negligence, or went of
skill, or unseaworthiness. The ship may ha►e
been too eager to make a pump, or to discharge
a valuable cargo ; she may have been ill found,
ill-manned, ill-handled. But in a man-of-war
every precaution against all calculable mischeroes
which skill, and science, and discipline, and perfect
equipment can provide, is always primmest and
always in active operation. It seems like an in-
jury done to the laws of Nature when one of her
Msreerr's ships founders at ma and is no more
beard of, or strikes upon • ehoal or reef un-
marked on the charts, or goes to pieces on a
harbour bar. Bran when there is no loss of life,
as in the case of the Conqueror, we all feel it as •
sort of domestic misfortune; but nothing like this
km of the Orpheus has happened sines the
Avenger struck a sunken rock sad went
down with all hands in the Mediterranean.

Assuredly, in such a case as this, it is net the
met of the ship and her armament that we begin
to count, though the Orpheus was a crack ship of
her clam, and it was her first commission. It is
the grievous and irreparable loos of one hundred
and ninety as gallant men and lads as ever trod
a deck, out of a ship's company of two hundred
and sixty officers, seamen, boys, and marines, that
is mourned in every English household, as to each
and all a private and personal lem. Ships we cm
replace ; but seamen, such as those who met death
as calmly and as dutifully an the shattered
wreck of the Orpheus, in the broad day-
light, and almost within hall of a friendly
shore, as in storm or fight—how shall this true
defence of England be spored? Who can read
this short, sad story, as it is told in the simple,
manly language of Lieutenant Hxr.r.'s Report,
without the pang of a miser from whom the most
precious treasure is wrung 1 If there is any con-
solation, it is to be found in the noble example of
the lamented Commodore Bonwerr and Com-
mander Burrow, who refused to leave their sh;p
till the last, and in the resolute and even joyous
constancy and devotion of the men, who gave
three cheers as the masts fell over the aide. Every
man on board the Orpheus, from the moment of
her striking on the bar to the moment when she
parted asunder, behaved as if each was responsible
for the honour of all, and as if all were sealing
with their deaths an inheritance of honour.
Still it becomes a duty, when the tribute
to the dead is paid, to inquire how so pievous
a disaster came about. Her Marnerr's ship
Orphans was admirably officered and
manned, a happy and a smart ship, and
had won good opinions in every port where she
had touched since she sailed from England in the
winter of 1861, convoying the Melbourne trans-
port to Halifax, in the crisis of the " Trent
" affair." Her first and last cruise was
destined to be throughout an eventful
one. She encountered a tremendous gale
on her passage across the Atlantic ; at St.
John's, we believe, she got ashore, but same off
without damage. When the Trent affair blur
