PARIS, JUNE n.

The Constitutionnel of this morning, in an article
signed by M. Limeyrce, observes that Denmark
consents to a sacrifice, since with Germany the
question is more or less of increasing her territorial
acquisition.

The writer continues—" The situation of the two
parties is entirely different, the one making a sac-
rifice should clearly inspire more interest than the
one making an acquisition."

Shipbuilding on the Tyne.

A large iron steamship, the largest carrying ship
nut on the Tyne, the screw steamer Erin, the
property of the National Steam Navigation Com-
pany, will be launched from Messrs. Palmer Bro-
thers' iron shipbuilding yard at Jarrow on the 18th
inst. She is 3,200 tons burden, 360 ft. long in the
keel, 385 ft. over all, and 28ft. depth of hold. Two
other large iron steamships, of exactly the same
model as the Erin, are also building at Messrs. Pal-
mers', and three others will shorty be laid down of
larger size, tdl for the National Steam Navigation
Company. Iron shipbuilding generally on the Tyne
is brisk. In addition to the abovementicned vessels
and others, Messrs. Palmer are building nine large
vessels under Lloyd's survey, and the other large
iron shipbuilding yards on the Tyne are propor-
tionally well employed, The importation of Spanish
grass, which is now extensively used in paper-
making, is assuming large proportions on the Tyne.
Large warehouses are being erected i❑ the Tyne
dock for its stowage, and many thousands of tons
of it are stacked on the wharves of these docks. It
is brought into the Tyne by the vessels engaged in
the Spanish coke trade, which bring it for re►urn
cargoes at a few shillings per ton, and the rail•
ways deliver it to the paper manufacturers in most
parts of the country. The northern coal trade is at
present in a very healthy condition, and most of the
collieries are well employed. There is also an ex-
cellent demand for coke. The enormous dredging
operations—there being nothing like them, it is
supposed, in the country —which are being carried
out by the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners,
are having a wonderful effect upon the trade of this
river, as vessels can now sail at all times of the tide,
and large ships can now put to sea with cargoes of
coals never dreamt of a dozkn years ago. During
the past few days one of the Black Ball liners, the
Castlemain, belonging to Liverpool, sailed from the
Tyne laden with 82i keels of steam coal, and a new
iron ship, the Lancashire, left the port laden with
77 keels of coat; a number of large ships of equal
tonnage are loading steam coals in the Northum-
berland Dock. It is anticipated that on the 24th
of June, or thereabouts, the foundation stone of a
large dock, specially intended for the accommoda-
tion of vessels of great tonnage, will be laid by the
River Tyne Commissioners at the Lowlights; at the
low, or seaward end of Shields harbour. Messrs.
Stephens' steamship, trading with and between the
Tyne and London, and the fleet of steamships
trading between the Tyne and Hamburg and Rot-
terdam, owned by Messrs. John Ormeston and Co.,
are being absorbed into a limited liability com-
pany.

THUNDERSTORMS.—The Vales of the Rye and
Derwent, Yorkshire, were visited with heavy thunder-
storms on Friday afternoon. In some places the rain fell
is torrents, but generally very nice showers fell, which
will immensely benefit the crops. Beyond striking a few
trees the lightning does not appear to have done damage.
SHOCKING SUICIDE UNDER THE WHEELS OF AN
ASCOT TRAIL—A shocking affair took place on
Thursday evening, about half past 7 o'clock, on the Lon-
don and South Western Railway, at a spot nearly midway
between the Richmond and Twickenham stations, when a
man, about 60 Sears of age, named John Bunce, who acted
as under gardener to the Duke of Buccleuch, was killed by
one of the up special trains from Ascot, the wheels of the
carriages nearly separating the head from the body. It
appears that the driver of one of the down special trains
from Waterloo, when about three quarters of a mile from
Twickenham station, saw the body of the unfortunate man
spring froze the up rails, as the train which had killed the
deceased passed along, and fall by the side of the railway.
The driver consequently stopped at Twickenham, and in-
formed the station master, who immediately sent a body of
men to the spot where the man had been killed, when it
was found that his head had been nearly severed from his
body. The remains were conveyed to the Crown Inn,
where they await an inquest. It is stated that the deceased
was seen to place himself in a lying position on the rails
before the train passed.
The Ancient Order of:Foresters has forwarded to
the National Lifeboat Institution £255, to be appropriated
in the purchase of a lifeboat, to be called Tho Forester, It
is proposed to station the boat at Now Quay, on the Car-
diganshire coast.
THE HOME AND FOREIGN REVIEW, the pubileq,
tion of which was recently discontinued, is said to be about
to re-appear, probably, in that case, with an altered title :
its Editor, Sir John Daibery Acton, Bart., M.P., proposing,
it is understood, in the evert of this re-appearance of th©
Review, to restrict himself and his contributors to the dis-
cussion of subjects purely literary and scientific,
