Shipbuilding on the Tyne,

A large iron steamship, the largest carrying ship
built on the Tyne, the screw steamer Erie, the
property of the National Steam Navigation Com-
peny, will be launched how Alessi's. Palmer Bro-
thers' iron shipbuilding yard at Jarrow on the 18th
inst. She is 3,200 tons burden, 3601 t. long in the
keel, 3851 t. over all, and 281 t. depth of hold. Two
other large iron steamships, of exactly the same
model as the Erin, are also building at Messrs. Pal-
mars', and three others will shortly be laid down of
larger size, ell for the National Steam Navigation
Company. Iron shipbuilding generally on the Tyne
is brisk. In addition to the abovementiened 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 in the Tyne
deck 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 return
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 ot 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 dozen years ago. During
the past few days one of the Black Ball liners, the
Castlemain, belonging to Liverpool, sailed from the
'Fyne laden with 82i keels of steam coal, and a new
iron ship, the Lancashire, left the port laden with
77 keels of coal; 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 acme places the raiu fell
in 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.

The driver consequently stopped at Twickenham, and in-
formed the station master, who immediately snit a body of
men to the spot where the Min 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 The Forester. It
is proposed to station the boat at New Quay, on the Car-
digam-hire coast.

THE HOME AND FOREIGN REVIEW, the pubilea-

to re-appear, probably, in that case, with an altered title :
its Editor, Slr JoLtu Dadxry Acton, Bart , proposing.,
it is understood, in the event of this re-appearance of the
Review, to restrict himself and his contributors to the dis-
cussion of subjeets purely literary and ocientifie.

PARIS, JUNE 11.
The Constitutionne/of this morning, in an article
signed by M. Limayrac, observes that Denmark
consents to a sacrifice, since with Germany the
question is more or less of increasing her territorial

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