TRIAL TRIP OP THE PRINCE OP WALES.

A very satisfactory trial trip was made yesterday
from Tilbury to the Mouse Light and back in a new paddle
steamer called the Prince of Wales, built by Mr Charles
' Langley' of Deptford, for the Hunter River Steam Nevi-
ptioo Company. In obedience to the requirements of the
well-known Australian river, the Prince of Wales is of light
draught, but preseuta a very beautiful appearance in the
water. Her lines are peculiarly good, and her whole op-
penance rather that of a fist-rate steam yacht than of a
vessel intended for commercial purposes. She is a
paddle steamer, worked with oscillating cylioders,
and her dimensions and specifications are as follows :
Leagth between perpendiculars, 211 i ft. ; breadth extreme,
25ft. ; depth, 13 ft. ; register tonnage, 530; builder's
tonnage, 650, with a raised quarter-dock 2 ft. gin. Her
after cabin is °ft. Sin. between decks, and her fore-cabin
Eft. gin. The vessel war designed and built to float on a
draught of Eft. water, with 30 tons of coals on board, and
to carry' dead weight of 200 tons at Ti t. draught, at a speed
of 13 knots per hour. She has accommodation for 36 pas-
seems in first-class cabin aft, and 12 in ladies'
cabin; 40 in forward cabin, and 10 in bailee' cabin.
This boat is No. 66, built by Mr. Charles Langley, who has
constructed vessels for all parte of the world, including the
Thunder for Calcutta, the Cape mail boats, one of which,
the Briton, is built ce his patent unsinkable plan, acid will be
ready for trial in a fortnight. This vessel is exciting much
attention, being so constructed as to give perfect security
against the liquid fire, for protection against which no pro-
vision has been made in the royal navy. Besides the ad-
vantage above referred to this unsinkable plan all adopted
in the Briton claims several others, two of which are, per-
fect security against fire, and freedom from any accident in
use of collision. Mr. Langley soots short time since read,
at the lostitation of Civil Engineers, a paper elucidating
his unsiokable plan, anti received the marked attention and
apprubatio of that scientific body.
The engines are a pair of oscillating.opee of 175 horse.
power ; diameter of cylinders, 45i inches ; length of stroke,
5 feet ; fitted with tabular Loden sad with feed heating
apparatus of • novel construction. The number of revoler
tines made were 35, with steam at 30 lbs. pressure, and
vacuum at 'AI deg. The engines were made by Minus. J. and
W. Dudgeon, of SlillwalL
The vessel started from Tilbury punctually at twelve
o'clock, having on board Messrs. Redfern and Alex-
ander, the agents of the company ; Mr. Dudgeon. the
' engineer ; Mr. Brett, Mr. Lang, Messrs. Joseph,
Hartnoll, Bristow, Bateman, Cab, Langley, Clarke,
J. S. Holland (Admiralty), and several other
I scientific and commercial gentlemen who take au
lutenist in steam navigation. There was some little
delay in starting in consequence of the crowded state of the
river, but as soon as the ship got sutticieut sea room, her
performance was unexceptionable, the speed reaching
against tide the niaximum which had been expected, and
the engines working without the slightest vibration. The
weather was beautiful, and the trip was • source of enjoy.
meet to everyone on board. On reaching the Non, Mr.
Bowman, the surveyor, commenced marking the time, and
it was aacertaiwed that between the Nore and the Mouse,
a distance of eight geographical miles, and back again, a
mean speed (with and against tido) of fourteen miles an
hoer was attained. In the course of the afternoon the um.
pay sat down to an excellent cold collation, provided by
Mr. Farr, of the Ferry House, Tilbury, and at six o'clock the
excursion terminated.

'Hie trade for which the Primo of Wales is intended is
one which of late years has been rapidly growing ia impor-
tance. The verde of the Hunter Hirer Company navigate
the Hunter at all periods of the year from Sydney to a ter-
minus situated about 50 miles up in the interior, and 6nd

premiers is also very great, and is annually increasing.

formance he will repeat the extraordinary feats on the choir,
which he first exhibited on the low rope in the centre
transept, in the preemiee of the Chancellor of the Exche•
quer and other notable., and which must have given even
that functionary a profitable lesson in the attaiument of a
correct balance. The band of the Coldstream Guards will
attend asusual.

THE REPEAL OF THE PAPER DUTY.—MT. Brig
late of the Branthwaite paper mill, has commenced build'.
ieg an extensive paper manufactory at the head of the Cid-
locks, near Wokingtoo, a portion of which has been leased
from Lord Lonadale for that purpose. The foundation
stone was laid by Mr. Cockbain, of Maryport, with the
usual ceremony, and the buildings are being pushed forward
with all the expedition that hands and mosey can accom-
plish. The locality is particularly favourable for such au
establishment, affordiug abundant supply of water, while
steam power will be used in the' manufactory, two engines
of about fifty horse-power each, sad one of about ten
horsepower, being in contemplation.—atiaGerfand Putquet.

VOLUNTEER CADET REVIEW AT TEE
CRYSTAL PALACE.

ITALY.

Yesterday a novel and very interesting spectacle
was offered to the visitors at the Crystal Palace. It con-
sisted of a review and field-day of a large body of cadets
attached to several of the volunteer corps. By whomsoever
projected, it was carried out with complete success. The
Crystal Palace Company undertook to convey to and admit
into their building and grounds any number of cadets that
might be brought together, and they allotted the area of
the cricket ground for the evolution. of these "ratans des
troupes." In pursuance of the arrangements there appeared
on the ground the following cadet companies, and in
about the subjoined numbers :—The Queen's West-
minster, 90 ; the London Rifle Brigade, 100 ; the South
Middlesex, 120; the First Surrey, 46 ; the 33rd Middlesex,
65 ; the 7th Middlesex, 50 ; the 13th Kent, 50 ; the 21st
Kest, 35; the 2nd Tower Hamlets, 50; the 4th Tower
Hamlets, 50 ; tho 20th Middlesex, 90 ; the 29th Middlesex,
90 ; the 40th Middlesex, 36 ; and the Douro House School,
St. John's-wood, 46 ; altogether, including a cadet brass
band, and the cadet drum and tife bands of the different
corps, there were above 900 youthful aspirants assembled.
The force was under the command of Major Mayne, Adju-
tant of the Queen's, Westminster, who directed the evolu-
tions which were performed. Soon after three o'clock the
column was formed, and each corps marched on coverers
placed right in front ; after which coverers were thrown out
in open column right in front, sad the companies marched on
their respective caverns. and wheeled lift into line. This
movement was made in a manner that evidently took the
spectators by surprise, and was followed by • burst of air-
planes and clapping of hands, which must have been very
encouraging to the young soldiers. Opal column was then
formed, left in front, and the battalion wheeled left into
lne and halted. The line then advanced, and it is not too
much to my that nothing could have been steadier, nor •
better front kept than in this movement, and again plaudits
rang over the ground. The column then passed from the
right of companies by fours to the rear, halted, and pro-
ceeded to form square on the leading company. This
was done somewhat slowly, but apparently without
confusion. The front tanks were selected from
these of the corps who were provided with car-
bines, the others having only side arms ; and although
one missed the usual glitter and bristling of the
bayonets, which were not in use, at a little distance and by
a slight exercise of the imagination this body of youths
seemed to have risen to the dimensions of men, and pre-
sented a front which cavalry (of the same size) would have
hesitated to attempt to force. After some minor mermen-rem,
the battalion deployed, formed open column in rear of the
left company, wheeled right into line, and advanced with
still greater regularity and steadiness, if possible, than
before, the time in miltchiog being admirably kept. Having
formed quarter distance column on the right centre company
advanced and wheeled to the left, the battalion counter-
marched by subdivisions round the centre, • movement
which tried the training of the cadets, but which they per-
formed exceedingly well ; and having deployed on • central
division, line was again smartly formed and advanced at
quick time ; the cadet brass band, of which mention has
been made above, playing in the meet spirited and ea
livening manner. This was the longest advance in line, in
point of duration, that was made, and was decidedly the
best executed ; the appear ace of the force, as it moved
forward, eliciting the most enthusiastic cheers from the
by-Standen. The battalion then formed quarter distance
I column right in front in double quick time, with excellent
effect. The crowning effort of the day then took
place—namely, the marching put in columns of
companies—which was gone through in a way
that would have made the Guards stare; and
which must have gladdened the hearts of those drill-
masters and officers of the different corm who watched and
assisted in the proceedings of the day with palpable care
and interest. Of course it must be understood that here
and there in companies little mistakes were made, and
there were instances of individual blundering, which were
soon set right by the zealous instructors present, who
seemed to be endowed with übiquity, and always to be at
band to remedy failings ; but as a whole, and speaking of
battalion movements, they were all executed in • manner
to exc;t4) at once surprise and admiration. It should be
mid that all the companies are officered by cadets,
who girded to, rather than with, swords of portentous
length, hovered about their respective charges with great
activity, and their boy voices were heard giving the cont-
pony words of command in capital style. At the conclusion
lel the evolutions the battalions formed square, and Major
Mayas addressed the young volunteers in • brief but stirring
speech. He expressed his gratification at the idea of a cadet
review having been aimed out, and said that he wan sure
that these gentlemen who had projected it must have felt
themselves amply rewarded for the pains and trouble they
had tekeu in the matter by what they had that day wit-
nessed. He stated to the cadets that, as a whole,
the capability they had displayed reflected the utmost
credit on their instructors and on their own assi-
duity and attention to their drill and although the

young officers and noo-commissioned officers who had
charge of the companies were nut accustomed to battalion
drill, and could not be expected to be perfect in their un-
dentauding of that part of their duty, yet they had con-
ducted themselves surprisingly well. He would venture to
say that there were some volunteer corps, who did not think
a little of themselves, who were nothing to be compared in
officering to the body of youths which he had that day had
the honour of commanding. He hoped that this review of
cadets would be followed by others, and if there was no
other penon who could undertake the direction of them, be
would be heartily wilhog to give his services again. He celled
on the come to give three cheers fur their instructors and for
those gentlemen who at some trouble and expense had
been instrumental in the formation of so promising a body
of rising volunteers. This speech was much applauded,
sad the cheers asked for were given with excellent will
and voice. The cadets were then dismissed, and the diffe-
rent corps proceeded to enjoy the refreshments which were
provided for them, and afterwards dispersed about the
palace and grounds, enjoying themselves like ordinary boys
who had never beard the stern accents of a drill sergeant,
until the bugle calls rallied them to their colours, in
order that they might return to town with due military
observance. In observing this body of some SOO youths,
of ages varying from ten to sixteen, exhibiting so many
of the finalities of trained soldiers, one could not help think.
lug that here were the elements for remedying fame day
one of the acknowledged deficiencies of our volunteer forces,
namely, the want of skilled officers. It might to be added
that the lands of the let Surrey and South Middlesex
Volunteers gave their services, and that the playing of the
drum and fife bands of abs manta was much commended.

phreys, met the jury last evening at six o'clock at the
Vestry-hall, St. Pancras-rod, for the purpose of going
through the neetwary forms to conclude the inquest. The
Coronerinformed the jury that their duties were on this
occasion simply ministerial, and consisted only of signing
the fourteen inquisitions. This having been done, the wit-
mimes were bound over to appear when called upon to give
evidence at the Central Criminal Court against Ileury
Raynor, the sigoalmun, who is charged with manslaughter
of the fourteen persons killed by the accident. The
Coroner then informed the jury that be was able to dis-
charge them, as on inquiry Ise found Cur wee doing ex.
coechugly well, and that none of the other sufferer* were
likely to die from the effects of the accident. In reply to
the Coroner, Mr. Murray, ftbe summoning officer, mid be
had endeavoured to execute the warrant against Rayner,
charging him with manslaughter, but up to the preesat
moment he had been unable to do so. It is stated, how-
ever, that Rayuer is likely to surrender as won as be has
arranged with patties to become bail for him.

ROMAN STATES.

ROME, Sur. 1.

Many of our own country people cherish a
placid, mournful remembrance of the little pro-
testant burial-ground overlooked by the Pyramid
of Cabin Castes, and shadowed by a few pines
and cypresses, close to the southern gmte of Rome.
Some touching incidents of English literary bio-
graphy are recorded by the simple monuments of
Keats and Shelley in that lonely and hallowed
spot. There lies the mortal frame of the young
poet, whose sensitive and aspiring nature, sorely
wounded by the rough denial of sym-
pathy and appreciation, descended in the
humility of self-renunciation to beg that
the words " his name was writ in water" might be
the epitaph on his Italian grave. That sentence
bitterly passed by his dying lips upon the sunny ge-
nius of Keats has been reversed, and long ago, by
a truer school of criticism. Forty years have elapsed
since he breathed his last in the arms of a devoted
friend. Twenty years since Mr. Severn left this
city, where he had resided for an equal period,
often visited by the English lovers of poetry, for
the sake of his connexion with the memory of one
untimely-blighted English poet of that age. He
has now just vesarned to dwell in Rome, bolding
the office of British Consul, and the reconstruc-
tion of Keats' monument will be an early object
of his care. In place of the simple headstone with
the nameless inscription, erected in 1821, there will
be a Greek altar bearing on its front a medallion
portrait of John Keats, and the desponding sen-
tence, which he last pronounced, will be read with
a commentary of truth and kindness, such as his
admirers may be pleased to repeat. It is also inte-
resting to know what becomes of the tomb of Shel-
ley, whose heart only is there, having been pre-
served in a classic urn when the drowned body,
cast ashore by the waves of the Gulf of Genoa,
was solemnly consumed by the purifying flames.
The flat slab, overgrown with a bramble,
exhibits the name and dates, "Born August 5,
1792 ; died July 8, 1822," with the Latin motto,
Cur Curdium, and the couplet from Ariel's song :
But doth suffer • Rea change
Into something rich and strange.

I learn that the present baronet, Sir Percy Shelley,
the poet's only surviving son, intends to visit Rome
this winter, for the express purpose of erecting a
new monument, more easily found and of more
elegant design. These examples of reverent
tenderness for the earthly resting places of
gifted Englishmen in a foreign land must
be sratifrug to all who enjoy the fruit of their
genius at home. The cemetery where they find
place is not, however, appropriated to the English
alone, but is a general receptacle allowed by the
Papal government, as a favour, for the heretic
dead. A mile distant from the modern city, and
above two miles from the English church, tolerated
outside the Porta del Fopolo, the excom-
municated burial ground lies beyond that famous
Monte Testaccio, which was anciently formed
by chance heaps of rubbish, shells, and potsherds
cast out there from the streets and houses of
populous imperial Rome. The flowers of spring
present their fragrance, however, from the turf
which covers the protestant children of England,
Germany, or Denmark, or those of the Russian or
Jewish faith, not lees sweetly than if they grew
in Papal consecrated soil. But even in this seques-
tered retreat of broker.-down mortality the harsh
bigotry of priestly rule finds occasion to intervene.
Every sentence of private affection and the praises
of the loved and lest, every expression of religious
trust and comfort which the piety of survivors would
mark on the fatal stone, is previously to be sera-
' r tinised by a double censorship ; nor ie this regula-
tion merely au innocent form. The same fearful
guardianship of Catholic Church interests, which
dreads the study of history as much as a free
theology, excluding standard works of learning,
' forbids even the inscription of a word of Christian
hope and divine mercy on the graves of these who
dissent from its creed. It is very true that several
such inscriptions may be seen on the protestant
tombstones here ; but in every such case,
I believe, the permission has been obtained
either by. bribery of the officials, or by
personal interest with the government. The
matter is often got over by altering or omitting
some portion of the English epitaph in the Italian
translation which must be submitted for the censor's
approval. For instance, I know that such a device
was once resorted to with a view to get in the liith
verse of the 48th Psalm, " But God will redeem
my soul from the power of the grave, for He shall
erosive me." The Italian version improvised and
sent to the authorities was modified thus, "Font
Die mi prerulf rd del peters; della sepoltura ;
sir me riceverk." By introducing the word " per-
haps," a sure promise of eternal salvation was
turned into &dubious possibility, which the clerical
censor, by no great stretch of charity and faith,
might admit for theme beyond the ecclesiastical
pate. But where the inscription is in Latin their
vigilance cannot so well be eluded ; and I au' as-
sured that " requiescat in pace," a common and
almost heathen sentiment as it is, was disallowed
by the censor, with an endorsement or verbal re-
spouse as follows, "This cannot peas, for there is
no peace for them." In another case lam told
that the sculptor sent the copy of an epitaph
with the simple and sufficient text " God is love" ;
and you may scarcely believe that this declaration
of Christianity was rejected by the officials of that
government, which, claiming a divine origin, belies
the sacred truth by its daily acts of tyranny and
corruption. The censorship, as above said, is two-
fold, namely, ecclesiastical and civil. The former
jurisdiction belongs to the Master of the Sacred
Palaces, and the latter belongs to the municipality
of Rome, a mere creature of the political
government of the Roman State. The office of
" Master of the Sacred Apostolical Palace," which
involves the control of all public inscriptions of a
religious purport, appears to be denoted in a recent
certificate shown to me by the initials S. P. A. M.
attached to the name of the Rev. Father hMron.
Gigli, enclosed in au oval stamp. The other
censorship—the civil or communal—is exer-
cised by one Pietro Rossi, who sits in
judvneut at the Capitol, cud signs his
decisions in the venerable letters S. P. Q. R.
A verse of the Bible, carved on the marble cover
of a new grave in a remote spot, beneath the outer
city ramparts, is considered as a publication of
doctrine to be jealously scanned by the conserva-
tors of orthodoxy here. I had almost forgotten one
instance related to me directly by a person con-
cerned : "God so loved the world, that Ho gave his
only begotten Son, to the end that we should not
perish, but have eternal life ;" it is • fact that
permission to write this in the non-catholic grave-
yard of Rome was refused by those who administer
the local dominion of the Vicar of Christ.
In answer to this description of a system,
which is proved by the testimony of many lung re-
sidents in this place, it may bs asserted, I again re-
peat, that unniutilated texts of scripture, and other
evangelical inscriptions, are to be seen on many of
the tombs. The system, however, remains with
the rule to prohibit any expression implying that
Protestants are to be saved hereafter. In the ex-
ceptional cases where a bereaved family have suc-
cord behind them turning away iu their grief from
moiled in procuring the solace of leaving such a re-
the last dear look, at the sepulchre they own by a
holy and natural claim—in those exceptional cases
Mies been obtained by the favour, or negligence—
or perhaps ignorance—of the Pontifical functiona-
ries deputed to this ungracious office.
