NEW STEAM FRIGATES.—Great exertion LI being
used at Pembroke to flnish the Orlando, screw steam frigate
of 60 gum She is now so far completed that a few months
will make her reedy for launching, and this event is likely to
take glees early In
the summer probably at the commence-
ment et June. TM magnificent frigate will be the first
lanneled of the half d 0740 ordered to compete with the
sosatir American frigates, and, from her great size, immense
samileg, cad armament, there is no doubt that she would
preys • mem formidable opponent. She is the largest fri
is the service, being about 360 feet in length over all.nt
other first-clam skips, the Revenge, 91, line-of-battle screw,
and Aurora, 61, first-Mee screw frigate, are also very much
advanced in construction, and could be completed in a snort
time. It is probable that they will be launched this season.
The Shamrock screw gunboat is to be placed on the Pembroke
station as a Mader to the Bogle Coastguard skip.
Her Majesty'. frigate Melampus, which for the
last two years has been stationed in Southampton Water
for the purpose of exercising and instructing the meat guard
and volunteer seaman, has been removed, and the screw steam
frigate Arrogant will shortly be stationed in Southampton
Water in her stood. The Hamra' was not fitted to go to

emergency.

WOOLWICH, Maim 11.
EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH ARSENAL.— Thu
morning, at 11 o'clock, a series of Interesting experiments
were carried oat at the government Feinnice attached
to Woolwich Arsenal, in order to tett the smaiiaoy of the
improved disphragro shell, which will be introduced tato
general use as the most destructive missile yet invented for
siege operations or in the face of an erre, fa the fad. A
number of navel and military officers were preeine, in
addition to the officers of Royal Artillery forrnfag the Wea
committee for experiments, including Colonel 0. A.
Maude, C. 8., commander of the Royal Horse Artillery,
Captain Freeth, deputy-assistant quartermaster-geaeral,
and the beads of the various departments of the Royal
Arsenal. The object of the experiments was to ascertain
the exact flight of the missile, the degree of accuracy of
its lIIDE/SiOU on arriving at a given point, and its probable
power, of destruction upon an army in the field.
A number of teats were erected for the sommmodation of

the numerous spectators, atttltitsarrea gemaatawese tinder
the superintendence of Colossi Pickering aid Captain Boger.
At the far end of the peacflos range, end coverts( • serfdom
of 400 yards, were erected 100 targets, which were placed at
various distances, and so arranged as to represent an army
drawn up on the field of battle. The shells were fired with
the ordinary fuse from 9.pounder guns, and on arriving
within 20 feet of the supposed enemy each shell exploded In
the air during flight ; the impetus thus given causes the shell
to progress until it has showered down its fiery and destruc-
tive contents, when it falls. The result of the experiments
was considered to be in every inspect satishetory, sad an im-
mense number of these shells are now being manufactured for
shipment to India.
By a recent arrangemeat Messrs. Cox and Co., army
agents, have ceased to act as paymasters to the regiment of
Royal Artillery, sod paymastershave been appointed at
head-quarters and at various stations, from the quarter-
masters of the regiment who have recently retired on the
hammy mak of captain.

Mr. OW= SlONdel the motion, considering that the only
loner arida( from imp was when it was allowed to amn-
ia large quantities.
Mr. F/433TH, of Karylehoue, did not consider the proposed
sense a barna no:smearfor sanitary purposes end waa
of maim that the public health would -be not at all bene-
fited, bat rather injured, by the tunnel sewers. Besides that
conideratioa, the pecuniary objections were most lesions and
hourmomatable.
Mr. Pante said the feeling in the neighbourhood of
Kilo. end Old Town was decidedly adverse to the position
which had been maimed by Sir B. Han. There bad net
been • proper inquiry into the matter. On the contrary, it
had been • one-aided and jobbing inquiry. Not lees than
100,000 permooa wart living and sleeping on the water, and
be datled any one to prove that dus&a bad arisen from the
effects of the Theme* water. The tarrying out of the pro-
jected scheme would be one of the greatest curses to London.
But *VIM if it should be carried out, the outlay wee mach
more than was at all neomeary. If the sewers, bread of
emptying themselves on the banks of the river, were carried
down to low-water mark, all came of complaint would be
removed.

Mr. Doyen, of Baker-area, wished to know whether the
Dreadnought was 'applied with Thames water or with water
ben the shwa
Dr. Banana laid the drinking of the Thames water was a
very Care= thing from inhaling the air arising from it.
No meta of discretion would think of drinking the Thames
water unless it had undergone purification. A few years ego
the Dreadnought was supplied with Thames water, which
was pumped to when the Ude was low. In those days the
Dreedeot was not a healthy ship. The ship to which he
was ter wee the old Dreadnought, and the unhealthiness
wee attributable to the state of the ship itself. Mass he had
bees cesseoted with the Dreadnought the venal bed been
supplied bine of the weeer companion sad the water was
elated. subisse tedhre Me writing might be viewed in
four aspecte—fret, the sanitary necessity of the measure ;
.seerozsdydi , whether the interception of the sewage woulde
a y for the evils complained of ; thirdly, the
ing omits of the question ; fourthly, its fluandal position.
With the two latter point@ he had ' to do ; and would
merely remark, that there was em mach er between
the opinions of engineers as between t e opinions of.
doctors when they differed. (" Hear," and a laugh.)- With
respect tithe indite= of the Thames on the cause of
disease, he would salt what the Thames disease was ? It
might be said that it aggravated cholera, the diarrhoea,
and fever, or that it affected the whole metropohtan
mortality in a manner which could not be &Geed
by the name of a disease. Now, so far as cholera
was concerned, London did not suffer much more
thee other places which bad no Themes to Name, and the
parts nearest the river did not suffer much more than some
parts at a distance. Lambeth, which was situated on a horse •
shoe. bend of the river, received Thames air and nothing else,
and stood second or third, in point of health and salubrity,
among the metropolitan parishes. When the cholera raged
there, in certain parts it wee attributed to the drinking of
foul water taken about Battersea-bridge. In other parta,
where a better supply of water was obtained, the mortality
was remarkably low. With regard to diarrbma he had ar-
rived at s similar conclusion. The great causes of that were
the changes of temporise= acting on the skin. In looking
at the mortality of London some remarkable feats would be
found. From 1848 to 1657 inclusive, the mortality bed been
steadily falling (hoar, bear)—and yet during that time the
Thames had been getting worse and worse. The average
health of London had been better than that of 117 town dis-
tricts. (Hear, hear.) These facts showed that the Thames
might not to be considered as a centre from which dimes
and death spread themselves over the metropolis,. The "vi-
deem of peewees living on the river and practical experiment
of medical men showed that no disease arose from the I
Thames. The statements of Captain thunders of the Dread-
nought, and of the resident surgeon, proved that there was
nothing in the river to came dames, and the operations
which hid been performed on board that vessel had
been attended with greater success than those per-
formed on shore, showing that the wards were in •
sound and healthy state. In the oases of fever
the patients got on remarkably well. There were about SOO
Custom-hoe/se officers employed on the Theme., and their
health was remarkably good, and they did not at all suffer
from any impurity of the river. He thought it most de-
sirable that the neer should be embanked, and that the mud
banks should be removed, for they were the great cause of
amoyance. Since the commencement of the deeper agita-
nos there bad ben a great reaction in public opinion towards ,
inquiry, and tbere was arcing and accumulating evidence to
prove that the Thames wee not injurious to the health of the
metropolis. (Hear, hear.) Dr. Letheby had come to the
eceobasion that his former opinion was beard on error, and
wee willing to retract the theory advanced by him two years
NM Before keg there wee very little doubt that the dreier
age scheme would be spoken of only in terms of condemns-
tbs. (Hear, hear)
Mr. Howe thought the best thing to do was to do nothing
at all. He believed the contraction of tunnels, which would
be difficult to cleanse, would be far more injurious to the pub-
ho health then the state of the Thames, which was self-
eleasiug twice a day, by mean of the tide. He thought an
embankment throughout the metropolitan area, so constrao-
ted as not to interfere with the commerce of London, would
be of immense advantage, and that the effect of such an em-
bankment ought to be tried before expending an imagine
sum of money on the asetruotion of works which might I
eventually prove unmeneomfol. (Hear.)
Mr. F. Dou iron, of Lambeth, said the question was Nur-
rounded by doubt and =certainty, end the estimates of dif-
ferent engineers had roe on increasing from one million to
more than Eve millions, and he bad very little doubt that the
text estimate would be still higher. (Hear, hear.) Coed-
dewing that doubt and uncertainty he thought that no plan
ought to be carried out without further inquiry. Plans had
been recommended by Mr. Basal kr the pro
the of I
the outlets, to the extent of some 70.0001., and ha (Mr.
audits) thought that some el them ought to be immedi-
ately carried out. (Hear, Mar.) AMOR moron for delay
was that a commission had keen aggefated to inquire into
the best disposition of the creep of towns, and he believed
their report would contaie • pea goal of valuable informa-
tion. Under these oireumenemme he trusted the scheme of
Mr. Slider sad Mr. Hawkers, 111111111 not be pressed for-

The resolution was then put and *grew to.
Mr. MATH, of Holton, moved the second resolution :
" That it being Omitted that the improvement of the bed
and banks of the Thames within the metropolis is highly is-
sizable, and this meeting believing that such improvement,
if propnly designed and executed, would increase the nevi-
and commercial capabilities of the river, and tend to
remove any malicious influences now liable to arise from ite
waters or Its banks, considers the outlay of thelarge stun of
Bey proposed to be expended for the interoeppt on of the
poNrfrom the liver within the metropolitan area as im-
hrand unnecessary."
Mr. DOIILTON seconded the motion, which wee agreed to.
Mr. Morgues moved, "That this meeting do petition the
homes of parliament to appoint a committee to take evidence
and report upon—lst, the influence of the Thames upon the
hada of the metropolis, and the state of the river generally ;
2nd, the sanitary merits of the proposed sewage interception
and main drainage of the metropolis ,• 3rd, the expediency of
placing the control of the river Thames under the sob
authority of the Metrispolltan Board of Works ; and 4th, the
most equitable mode of obtaining funds for the purposes of
