pellih to a man, let it be in presence of the
, enemy, where they may sell their lives dearly;
I let them feel that they "do and die" for-the
glory and safety of England ; but let them not
be uselessly expended through the obstinacy or
incapacity of our rulers, and drowned like so
many rats in that cranky leaky old tub called the
Transit. We can scarce restrain our indignation
while we think of the danger and delay already
incurred, and of the yet greater danger that may
await the men who are thus going forth to do
battle for their countrymen, and to maintain un-
tarnished the banner of England. Better correct
this thing now, than by delay leave us only to
regret what we can no longer amend—better at
once send safe transport for our soldiers than
offer to Parliament and the public useless expla-
nations for omitting to do the right thing at the
right time. There may still be time to prevent
the worst,

LaatscH.—A handsome screw steamer, named the
Berenice, was launched from the building yard of Messrs.
William Denny and Brothers, on Tuesday last. She is
the property of the Royal Netherland Steamship Company
of Amsterdam, and i 3 of the same dimensions as the Rem-
branch. The builders of the' Berenice are about to

ATTEMPTED BUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, be,ween
twelve and one o'clock, a young woman, wh..ise name is
unknown, was found in Oldhall street, in a state of insen-
sibility. In her band she retained hold of a bottle which
still contained a portion of laudanum. She was imme-
diately conveyed to the Northern' Hospital, wh-re the
stomach pump was applied with effect, and. this Was sue-
ceeded by the application of other remedies, and last
night she was in a fair
,way cf recovery. It appears this is
the second time the same individual has attempted self--
destruction by means of laudanum within two or three
weeks. On the former occasion she was taken to the
Southern Hospital.
Oua GANGWAYS.—Much as has been written and said
with reference to our present landing stage, it is not a
little singular that the above useful appen /ages have scarce
ever been brought into notice. Seeing that there has been
a great omission, for which •some one is to blame, we par-
pose remedying the evil by' asking for a return of the
quantity and quality of the gang ways use at e ng
stage, Liverpool. In our opinion the return, the
whenland iti ia
given, will show not only that the supply is perfectly
inadequate, but also lamentably inferior. And when' we
state the fact that the want of a proper number of gang-
wets, compels people frequently on Sunday evenings to
wait ten minutes on board the boat until the whole g t out,
the proper authorities will know what we mean.,
