The constructive department at the Admiralty is
entirely engaged in designing new ships for the navy. The
Let vessel ordered to be laid down is the Volags, an iron
frigate of 8 guns, 2,322 tons, and 600 bores-power (nominali ;
she is to be built by the Thames Shipbuilding Oompsny,
and it would seem, from the fact of the engineers who
originally tendered for engines having been called upon to
send in estimates for another pair that it is intended to
build another vessel of precisely the mine dimensions by
contract.—Ariny and bay!, Gazette.

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON. H. WADDINGTON.—
This morning the death is announced of the Right Hon.
Horatio Waddington, who was for many years Under-
Seeretary of she Home Department, a poet from which he
retired only a few months sines. Mr. Waddington was
educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his
R.A. degree in 1820 when he was 18th wrangler, being the
last on the list, and consequently "the golden spoon."
He was raved last VIM to the rank of a privy councillor.

MR. PERCY WYNDHAM, M.P., ON THE ADMISSION
OF WOMEN TO THE FRANCHISE—At the dinner after the
Whitehaven Agricultural Show on Thursday, Mr. Percy
Wyndham said the chairman had referred, in jocular
terms, to the vote be had given upon the admission of
women to the franchise. (Laughter.) He bad always
avoided giving any defence of that vote ; but he never
gave • vote for any idle or fickle reason. An im-
mense amount of misapprehension existed as to whet
the effect of that vote was. Some seemed to think
it would entitle every woman to a vote. No doubt
they would have given very good ones, but that was
not his intention. Assuming, however, that a wo-
man had property and paid towards the burden of
the local rates, he thought she should have a voice. Let
them take a case. They had in view at Whitehaven the ,
election of their local governors, and every single woman
or widow in the town who bad property would have a vote.
Why should they not vote for members of vtrliarnent ?
(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The present law acted with
very great injustice. People thought • great deal of poli-
tics in this country, and many farmers were aware he
spoke with truth when be said their wives were as good
farmers as themselves. (Laughter.) Now, it frequently
happened —he never heard of an instance in this
county, but he had heard of them in Sussex—where,
when a farmer died, and his wife remained with capital
sufficient to carry on the farm and ability to farm it as
well as her husband, the landlord came and said, "I em
very sorry ; I know you have capital, but unfortunately
we wish a vote for this farm ; and, therefore, although
you are • very good farmer, you must leave the farm."
Everyone would agree that was a hard case ; and it was to
amend cases of that description he had given his vote, in
order that women with real property—not wives and young
ladies—should have votes ; and when the jocularity of the
occasion had worn oft it would be found to rest upon a
basis of truth and justice.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT GUISIIRO9.—A GIRL

OAKSTHE COLLIERY.—BARNSLEY, FRIDAY.
During the last day or two the mon have been engaged
in cleating out the bottom of the pit as far as the stopping
and to the boa-hole, where there has been • very biro so
cumulation of broken curves, forced from the en-
gine plane, and other rubbish, .o that the road
can be kept clear for going to and fro. When
that is done • second wood stopping will be
put up • little way down the engine plane-head, beyond
the No. 2 shaft, to be followed by • brick one sloes to it,
the latter being done with the aid of lamps, after which
nothing will probably be done until the scaffolding down
the No. 2 shaft is taken out, when one of till two former
down-east shafts will be made into an up-east, so that
the ventilation arrangements will last for some time, in
all probability, and so admit of a search being safely con-
ducted for the recovery of the bodies, without necessitating
the long delay which would occur had the furnace shaft
to be opened and the ventilation arranged as it was before
the explosion. Until the No. 2 shaft is opened out, it has
been arranged for the air to be pumped down by steam
power, for which purpose an engine has been put down,
whilst there is plenty of atmospheric piping fixed in the
shaft for its conveyance. The body of Alfred Hoyland,
miner, Barnsley, was found to-day in the box-hole, and
was identified by having only one arm. The deceased was
• married men. The features and clothing were good. A
shilling was found in the pockets.
