LAUNCH OP A FIPTY-OCN STEAM FRIGATE.—
Yesterday the Imperious*, commenced November 23, 1860,
was launched at Woolwich, in the presence of Lord Adolphus
Faze'arctic° and other nasal officers, and christened by
Lady Walker. The following are the dimensions of the
Imperieuse, which has the figure-head of an
woman:—Length from the fore part of the Sgurelfevelantot
the aftside of taffrail, 245 feet ; length between the per.
peaieulare, 212 feet; length on the upper-deck, 216 feet
If inches; length of the keel for tonnage, 180 feet 74
inches; breadth, extreme, 60 feet 04 inches; breadth for
tonnage, 49 feet 64 inches ; breadth moulded, 48 feet 84
inches; depth in hold, 16 feet SI inees. 13urthen in tons,
old measurement, 2,357.68.94; burthen in tons, new mea-
surement, 1,G(2.80; burthen in tons of the engine-room,
342.73 ; register tonnage, 1,120.07.—The Impeneuse is to
be towed to Woolwich -day, to be fitted with her screw-
propeller engines of 360 horse power, by John Penn and
HARNESS You HER MAJESTY.—There is now on
view at Mr. Dinedale's saddle and harness establishment,
314, Oxford-street. a set of harness for four horses, which
has been made at the repress desire of her Majesty. The
leather is, of course, of the best quality, presents a beautiful
polish, and is richly mounted with silver, but the novelty of
the set of harmer consists in ita being inlaid throughout
with cuttings from the quill ends of peacocks' feathers,
which gives an elegant appearance to the whole.
A FEARFUL ACCIDENT happened on board the
the Peninsular mall-packet Iberia, a few hours before she
arrived at Southampton, on Tuesday night. An elderly
man, belonging to the engine department of the steamer,
got one of his feet entangled in a crank that is near the
ground, and it literally tore the foot oft, and with it dragged
away sinews, 16 inches in length, that ran up the leg. he
bad just given signs of consciousness when the packet
arrived in dock. As soon as possible he was conveyed to
the South Hants Infirmary, but it is feared that he cannot

THE MADCAP who recently leapt from the Niagara
Suspension-bridge, and received colorcolor severe injuries, is
nearly recovered, and is determined to risk his life again by
leaping the Niagara Falls.—Montreal
TRAVELLireO iN 1852.—The improvements effected
in " Rail and Steam " communications with the continent
have rendered it perfectly easy on any slay to breakfast at •
seasonable hour in London, to judge of the skill of • French
chef de cuisine at an early dinner in France, and to be
again in London in time for an evening party, all on the
same day. This may be accomplished by taking the Dover
express train from the London. bridge terminus at 8.10 a.m.
This train arrives in Dover at 10.36 a.m., and half an hens
afterwards a fast steamer sails for Calnis, and lands her pas-
sengers on the French 'Oil at about a quarter to 1 o'clock.
The steamer returns at a quarter past 3; upwards of two
hours can therefore be spent in Calais, besides two in Dover
on the homeward bound journey, and yet the traveller will
be again at the London-bridge terutinus at 10 p.m., having
left Dover at half.past 7.
SAVE Int PROM MV FEIENDB.—At the dinner of
the Royal North Lancashire A ricultural Society, at Pres-
ton, one Mr. Michaelson, in his anxiety to bespeak a good
reception fur a toast to Earl Derby, overshot the mark, and
hit his patron When he was asked to propose tbe
health of the Earl—(tremendous cheeringl—he thought it
was an honour that no man who had a ha'p'orth of puck
about hint would refuse. (Cheers.) Amongst them 11(.70
persons of different religions and politics ; but they could
meet together, and throwing politics and religion to the
winds, could freely enter into discussion upou agricultural
interests. It was on those genntils—it w..s on those princi-
ples—that he undertook to propose to them the health of
the Earl of Derby, whose ancestors had many a time been
drunk in Preston." (Roue of laughter.)—Birosinghant
