TRH E SVN,

Sir J. PAKINGTON said, as he had several times
answered questions on this subject in the most distinct
manner, he hoped that he should not be thought guilty
of disrespect if he did not go at length into this subject,
considering that the great object was to get into
supply as quickly as possible. He could only
rev at that the Government were making
all the arrangements they possibly could. With regard
to the remark which had fallen from the Hon. Member
who had immediately preceded him, he could only say,
as he had said betore, that the Irish proportion of the
emigrants conveyed by the Emigration Commission was
largely in advance of the other parts of the kingdom.
The report on the remaining votes was then agreed to.
ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL.
Oa the motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Sir B. HALL made an explanation relating to his
speech of yesterday on the Capitular Estates Bill, in the
course of which he had cited the Cathedral of Rochester
as ono where the triennial visitation required by the
statutes had never been made. The Bishop of Rochester
had calledinponlhim this morning, and while complaining
of a report which had to some extent misstated
what he (Sir B. Hall) had said, had acknowledged
that he had not made a triennial visitation of the ca-
thedral, but had included it in his triennial visitation of
his diocese.

POST-HORSE DUTY.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the House resolve
itself into a Committtee on the post-horse duty, and
tax on carriages let for hire, with a view
to the modification of the same. The case of the
postmasters was one which was deserving of the atten-
tion of the House' inasmuch es the Right Honourable
Gentleman the Member for Portsmouth (Sir F. Baring),
when Chancellor of the Exchequer, in 1840, attempted
to relieve them, bat instead of that the measure which
he brought in had increased the duty which they paid,
and had left them in a worse position than they were
before. He had had the honour, accompanied by a de-
putation of postmasters, of having an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, who had listened certainly
with great attention to their representations, but as he
had since made his financial statement, and had not pro-
vided in it any relief for them, he (Mr. Duncombe) felt
it his duty to press their case on the consideration of
the House. There were now about 14,000 postmasters,
and what they themselves proposed was that each should
take out a yearly certificate, paying for it 101., which
would bring in a revenue of 140,0001. As the present
revenue from this item was only 170,0001., the loss to the
revenue would not be very great.

said
on it
this subject, and that he had promised to take the case
into consideration. He was afraid that the scheme pro-
posed by the postmasters, like many other schemes de-
vised by tax-payers for their relief, was one in which
the relief was more certain than the security to the
revenue.—(Hear, hear.) As far as regarded his
not having proposed relief for the postmasters
in his late budget, he thought the fact of his not having
a surplus was a sufficient reason for that, and as the
financial arrangements of the year were now made, he
appealed to the Hon. Gentleman not to disturb them by
pressing this motion. He would promise to take this,
as well as every other case into consideration, and if it
were his lot to propose another budget he would attend
to every claim which he thought founded on justice.
Sir G. PECHELL thought this was certainly a case
for relief, and was perfectly satisfied with the promise of
the Hon. Gentleman to look into it,
Mr. SPOONER thought, as this was a case where the
harden had been increased by the legislation of' that
House, it was a claim for justice and not relief.
After a short discussion, in which Lord Dudley
Stuart, Mr. Slaney, Mr. Frewen, Lord Ebrington, and
Sir F. Baring took part, the House divided when the
numbers were—

(No observation was made in reply to the Hon. Mem.
ber by the Government.)

COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE.
An alarming accident, attended with the loss of two lives,
occurred on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire
line, on Tuesday afternoon, near to the Woodhouse junc-
tion, and within a short distance of the spot where a colli-
sion occurred last year between a Great Northern excur-
sion and a goods train. It appears that about two o'clock, a
ballast train, laden with sleepers, left Grimsby for
Sheffield, a passenger carriage, containing seven or eight
men in the company's service, being attached to
the last waggon. Nothing occurred until they arrived
at the Kiveton-park station, when, in consequence
of the piston-rod breaking, the engine became dis-
abled. Efforts were then immediately made to
bring the trains to a stand, but in conse-
quence of the line at this point being on a steep
incline this was not accomplished until some time had
elapsed. The moment this was done, all the men except
two left the passenger carriage, and a messenger was
dispatched to signal an approaching luggage train.
which was then due from Retford, and the steam whistle
of which was then distinctly heard, but which, in conse-
quence of a sharp curve in the line, was not then visible.
Before hehad proceeded more than twenty or thirty yards
he came in sight of the train, the driver of which, as
soon as he became aware of the danger, instantly re-
versed the engine, shut off the steam and applied the
break, after which he, together with the stoker and the
guard, leaped off the train and escaped without any se-
rious injury. On the collision the engine of the goods
train was thrown off the rails and sustained considera-
ble damage. The passenger carriage and several of
the ballast waggons were smashed to pieces, and the
two men who were sitting in one of the compartments
of the carriage, unaware of the danger, were killed on
the spot. Their names are William aler and John
Walker, married men, residing at Brigg. Their remains
were conveyed to foodhouse, where the affair will
undergo an investigation before Mr. Thomas Badger,
coroner. The line was speedily cleared, and no inter-
ruption was occasioned to the ordinary trains.

BRIGHTON ELECTION.—Mr. Trelawny attended a
large meeting on Wednesday, and explained his political
views, which seemed to be well received; but although a
requisition to him has received some 500 signatures, he has
not issued any address to the constituency. In this state of
uncertainty, a gentleman who has, we hear, been for some
time in communication with some gentlemen in the Liberal
interests, has stepped forward and issued an address. The
gentleman in question is Mr. John Ffooks, whose political
opinions run almost on all fours with Mr. Trelawny's. Mr,
Ffooks was bred to the law; he succeeded his father as clerk
of the peace in Dorsetshire, and on becoming the chief part-
ner of the " Great Western Brewery" at Sherborne, quitted
the profession and took an active part in promoting Reform
in his locality. Sir G. Pechell has issued an address solicit-
ing his re-election.

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 5 per mille prem. (according to the new tariff'), which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lop. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.291; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.421, it follows
that gold is about 0.51 per cent. dearer in London than
in Paris. By advices from Ilamburgh the price of gold
is about 4301 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. lop. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.71; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13.91, it follows that gold is about 0.80 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at ISlew York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of England.
And, after making allowance for charges of transport, the
present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold
from the United States.

A COLLIER BRIG DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On
Monday night, at eleven o'clock, information was received
at the River Police-station, North Shields, that a vessel
was in flames at Jarrow, about two miles up the Tyne.
The police immediately unmoored the river engine, and had
it towed up to the scene of disaster. The vessel was lying
off the Patent Slip, and was in one sheet of flame. Shortly
after the engine arrived the masts fell by the vessel's side,
and, notwithstanding an immense column of water was poured
upon the buring vessel, it was not until fGur o'clock in the
morning that the fire was extinguished. The vessel was a
total wreck. She was the Countess of Durham. belonging to
Messrs. Storer, of Bedford-street North Shields. The fire
had originated in the cabin, it is supposed by the carelessness
of the cabin boy.

military expenditure were exhausted, he had the satisfac-

thought it his duty to place before the House when he
made his financial statement.—(Hear, hear.)

Mr. J. BELL said he thought proper to inform the
House that he had placed in the hands of the Sergeant-
at-Arms two certificates which confirmed the opinion he
(Mr. J. Bell) had expressed yesterday, that the Hon-
ourable Member who was in his custody required
medical advice in reference to the subject
of prison discipline. He thought it his duty
to take this step, for he believed the Honourable
Member was in an unsound state of mind, and that
it was only proper the House should be in possession of
facts on medical authority, more particularly as the
medical and legal profession were at issue as to
the precise line of demarcation between sound-
ness and unsoundness of mind. It therefore became
an important question where the line was. He
made this statement not as a friend of the
Hon. Member—indeed he been informed he had no
friends—but becaus he considered it was deeirable the
facts should be known in order that justice might be
done.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT WESTE R N.
A special me, ring of the Great Western Railway
Company was held at the Padeinp,ton Station yesterday
afternoon, in pursuance of the standing orders of the
House of Lords, in order to teko into consideration an
Act to euthonie traffic arrangements between the Great
Western, the Sbrewehury and Birmingham, the Shrews-
bury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Hereford, Ross,
and Gloucester Railway Companies.
Mr. RUSSELL, the chairman of the company, presided,
and, in opening the proceedings, said that when the
proprietors were called together a week aince, the
directors were not aware that it would be necessary
under the Whaencliffe standing order to submit this
Bill to them. The Standing Orders Committee of. the
House of Lords had, however, taken a different view of
and present meeting was held in defe-
rencetheir decision. It would, of course, be nee:2s-
Yta submit to a Similar ordeal the Bills of the other
cstahormeepaonoies which were required to carry out this ar-
rangement. Ho did not think, howeverlthat the Com-
mittee would ies!st upon the strict observance of the
standing order, for if they did he feared it would be
impossible to obtain a continuous line of communication
between London and Birmingham. At the meetings
of the two Shrewsbury companies, which had been
held within the last week or ten days, it was clearly
shown that although the directors could command a
largelt
majority of their proprietors, in fact equal
o o
fths, in favour of their arrangements, they
obtain the assent of four•fifths, as required
by the standing orders of the House t)f Lords; al-
though not e e
that consent was merely required to agree-
mentsrwhich had been already sanctioned by the pro-
prietors. These results the directors broadly and dis-
tinctly ascribed to the number of shares which were
held in these companies on behalf of the London and
North Western Railway Company, and upon these
grounds they had prayed that the standing order should be
dispensed with upon the present occasion. That ques-
tion was now under investigation by a Committee of the
House of Lord!, and it would therefore be extremely
improper for him to advert to it any farther than by
saying that he confidently believed teat they would be
able to establish the allegations in that petition, and that
they had full reliance upon the justice of the decision of
the House of Lords upon every case that was fully and
fairly laid before them.
A resolution approving the Bill was then unanimously
agreed to, and the proceedings terminated.

SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.
A special general meeting of the proprietors of
this company was held at Shrewsbury yesterday, for
the purpose of approving or disapproving (in obe-
dience to Lord Wharncliffe's order) the following
Bill, introduced into Parliament during the present
session :—" A Bill to authorise Traffic Arrangements
between the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Bir-
mingham, the Shrewsbury and Chester, the Shrewsbury
and Hereford, the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Che-
shire Junction, and the Hereford, Ross, and The Hon. R. IL Clive, M.P., presided.
The CHAIRMAN, before he called for the reading of the
Gloucester-
shire
Reuwsys
Bill, begged to allude to an important meeting which
bad taken place at the Board of Trade on the preceding
day, and which he hoped was the harbinger of a better
state of feeling among themselves, as well- as
better arrangements with the London and North-
Western Company. At the meeting to which he
alluded it was arranged that the Stour Valley line
opened on the 20th of the present month,
-five hours' notice should be given to the
BtshhoiloaturlddihoibrfetYTrade for its approval; and he (the chair-
man) had to add that Mr. Glyn and himself were to
have the appointment of the station-master at Wolver-
hampton. He (the chairman) hoped that this augured
a better and satisfactory state of things, and spoke
wet for the future. The chairman next explained
why they had again been called upon to assemble at
ShrewsbArY that day. The directors had intended to
include the present Bill in the notice by which the
w"ti6g of Tharaday last was convened ; but they
were tld by their Parliamentary agents that such
a course was unnecessary, but it was subsequently
di.covered that the approval of the shareholders under
Lord Wharneliffe's order was essential, and that was
the reason they were called together that day. The
chairman observed that the title and preamble of the
Bill gave all necessary information as to its objects,
and he was consequently not required to enter into
further explanation. After alluding to an unfair and
one-sided report of the proceedings of the meet-
ing on Thursday last, inserted in a provincial jour-
nal, he concluded by moving that the shareholders
do approve of the Bill authorising traffic arrangements
between the Great Western, Shrewsbury and Birming-
ham, Shrewsbury and Chester, Shrewsbury and Here-
ford, and Hereford, Ross, and Gloucestershire (with the
exception of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire
Junction) railways, and also to authorise the directors
to submit to such alterations as they might deem expe-
dient during the progress of the Bill through Parliament.
Mr. HILL seconded the motion.
Not the slighest observation was offered in opposition
to the motion, and the CHAIRMAN declared the motion
carried by a show of hands.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURIAU THR WEEK.
(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
A thousand deaths were registered in the metropolis
in the week that ended last Saturday, showing an im-
portant increase on the previous week, in which the
number was only 883. In connexion with this result
it will be remarked that the mean weekly tempera-
ture fell from 52.7 deg. end 55.6 deg. in the second
and third week of May to 50.8. deg. in the fourth, while
last week it was 52.5 deg., having been during the last
fortnight about 6 degrees below the average, to which
atmospheric change the increase of mortality is probably
to be attributed. In the four weeks now mentioned the
rain that tell amounted to 2.21 in., though in the pre-
vious twelve weeks the entire amount was less than one
inch.
In the ten weeks corresponding to last week in the
years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 877,
which, if raised in proportion to the increase of popula-
tion, becomes 965; the present number therefore ex-
hibits an excess of 35 above the estimated emeunt.
A comparison of facts in the last two returns shows
an increase in some epidemic complains—namely,
measles, which rose from 16 deaths in the preceding
week to 23 in the last, diarrheee which rose from 13 to
20, typhus, &c , in which the numbers were respectively
38 to 49, whilst scarlatina increased from 41 to 63.
Pnemonia also rose from 46 to 58, whilst the mortality
of bronchitis was stationary. Phthieis suddenly became
more fatal, rising from 119 to 150 cases. Last week
the deaths of 4 children and 3 adults were registered as
caused by syphilitic disease.
In the present return the number of cases in which
small pox was fatal amounts to 40; those of 32 children
and 8 persons of 15 years of age and upwards. Five
of the sufferers are reported to have been previously
vaccinated; their ages were 6 months, and 5, 15, 16, and
35 years. Two deaths were registered in the Small-
pox Hospital ; of these the following aro the parti-
culars :
On 31st May a labourer, aged 32 years, from Brook-
green-terrace, Hammersmith, died of " small-pox, con-
fluent, unprotected (15 days)."
On 3clJune a female, aged 13 years, from James's-
gardens, Clerkenwell, small-pox, confluent, unmodi-
fied (16 days)." Vaccinated in London when seven
years old, but the operation took badly and left no
cicatrix.
Mr. Watts, the Registrar, states that " this hospital is
still full, having had during the past week eighty patients
occupying beds. But at the Fever Hospital only one
death has occurred since the 18th ult., and the number
of patients had decreased to ninety-two."
At 5, Hope-place, Islington, the son of a drover,
aged 13 years, died of " small-pox, confluent (16 days),
not vaccinated." The parents entertained an objection
to vaccination. In the east sub-district of Islington
three children died of small-pox, none .of whom
had been vaccinated, a cireumstanco which Mr. But-
terfield ascribes in two cases to " ignorance," and in
one to "prejudice" of parents. At 5, Amelia-
place, Aldgate, on 3d June, the son of a tailor,
aged 5 years, died of small-pox; be had not been vacci-
nated. Mr. Spencer adds that two other children who
had been vaccinated have escaped. The place is "close
and unhealthy." In the south sub-district of West
London, at 6, Union-court, St. Andrew's, on 30th
May, the daughter of a labourer, aged 5 years, died
of "small-pox (12 days)." Mr. Nason remarks that
"this is the second death in one family, the first
having occurred on the 27th May. The deceased were
the only two children in the family, and neither
of them had been vaccinated." At 3, Raymond-
buildings, Gray's Inn, on the 30th May, a Solicitor,
died of "small-pox, small-pox, confluent
aged thirty-five years,
(eleven days)." His father, who is a medical man,
states that he had been twice vaccinated. In Lam.
beth, at 3, Harriet-street, the son of a stone sawyer,
aged sixteen months, died of "small pox (nine days)."
The following is Mr. Daw's note:—" Deceased was
not vaccinated; another child in the same house
lies dangerously ill of the same disease. Infor-
mant states that small-pox has been constantly in Har-
riet-street for the last three months. Two deaths from
small-pox in Harriet•street were registered in April last.
It is a dirty crowded street." At 13, St. Oeweld's-
place, Lambeth, on 26th May, the daughter of a slater,
aged 15 years, died of " coe fluent small-pox (9 days);
after vaccination." Mr. Wheatley mentions that " this

with good effect." arentl
In Mile-end Old Town, Lower, at 6, Feteediy_piace,
on 27th May, the daughter of a letter-carrier, aged 2
years,
,died of " scarlet fever (4 weeks); cynanche (2
weeks). Mr. Castleden writes as follow,s;_e This is
the second death from scarlet fever in the same house
within a month, the remaining four children are now
very ill with the disease, and the Mother attributes
their predisposition to illness to a foul drain running at
the back door hit° the garden. The landlord has
been spoken to; he came, took up a brick or two, very
but leaving, it open, the nuisance is
partially cleansed it,
now worse than before. I have written a note to the
constable, asking him to interfere." Two sons of a car-
penter died at 23, Walnut-tree-place, Lambeth, of " scar-
latina" and " scarlatina maligna" on the 26th and 27th
of May respectively.
In the sub -district of All Souls, Marylebone, at 14,
Castle-street East, a boy, aged two years, died on the
29th May, of "mesenteric disease.' Mr. Wallington
makes the following observations:—" Many months ago
I reported the unhealthy condition of this house. I
am informed that it is still in the same state. The
drainage and ventilation are very defective. There are
three adults now under medical treatment for diseases,
probably induced by these circumstances. A family sleep
in the kitchen which is damp and low. All the medical
men who visit patients at this house are of one opinion
as to its state of disgraceful unhealthiness."
At 54, Hexton-square, the two daughters of a coach-
maker, aged one year and four years, died of "pneu-
monia," one after 7 days', the other after 6 weeks' ill-
ness. " This house (says Mr. Pearce) is badly drained,
and adjoining is a court witk several houses ill venti-
lated, very badly drained, and densely populated."
Last week a man, aged 69 years, died from "stroke
of the sun (20 years auo), tic douloureux, general de-
cay." A man, aged 70 years, died of " opistaxis (pos-
teriorly) at intervals (3 weeks), suddenly from suffoca-
tion; paralysis (3 days)." A girl, aged 9 years, died of
" cynanche parotidme (7 days), internal haemorrhage,
asphyxia." A man died of intemperance, and a woman
from refusal to take food.

Cap:ain Charles Talbot (1830) has been appointed to
the Meander, 44, as commodere of the second class and
Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope station,
vice Wyvill, in the Castor, 36, whose term of service has
expired. Commodore Talbot has served 18 years
afloat. He was born Nov. 1, 1801; is second son of the
Very Rev. Charles Talbot, D.D., Dean of Sarum
(grandson of Charles, first Lord Talbot, Lord High
Chancellor of England), by Lady Elizibetti Sorneret.
daughter of Henry, filth Dake of Beaufort, and grand-
daughter of Admiral Hon. Edward 13oacavven. He en-
tered the Royal Naval College August 19, 1851, and
embarked Dec, 7, 1817, as a volunteer on board the Pro-
metheus sloop; was nomiteated Oct. 17, 1822, acting
lieutenant of the Dispatch, 18, Captain William Clarke
Jerveice. His promotion being confirmed on the 7th
Jan:, 1832, he was next appointed to the Euryalus, 42,
and Rtiubew, 28, and attained, April 30, 1827, the
rank of commander. Towards the close of May, 1829,
Captain Talbot commissioned the Helicon 10, but that
vessel being found defective, he was transferred to the
Algerine brig. As a reward for the activity he had dis-
played in the performance of a detached service in South
America, he was, Nov. 25, 1830, promoted by the late
Sir Thomas Baker, Commander-in-Chief, into his own
fiag-ship, the Warspite, 76. On the night of April 6,
1831, an insurrection having broken out at Rio de Ja-
neiro, he bad the fortune to rescee and bring eff from
the Palace of San Christavao their Imperial Majesties,
also her Majesty Donna Maria of Portugal, and suite,
and the Marquis and Marchioness ,of Loulii-a service
which Don Pedro IL subsequently acknowledged by pre-
senting him with the decoration of the Brazilian order of
Cruzero. His next appointment was to the Vesta!, 26,
in which vessel he continued from Nov. 2, 1843, until
paid off, in July, 1847. On August 18, 1845, being off
the northern end of Borneo, Captain Talbot was in-
trusted by Sir Thomas John Cochrane with the command
of the Maluda enterprise, when the loss they sustained
was great, extending to no less than six men killed end
fifteen wounded. It is scarcely necessary to add that
the distinguished gallantry and good conduct exhibited
on the occasion by Captain 'Talbot and his brave com-
panions had the effect of drawing from the Admiralty an
expression of its great admiration and satisfaction.
Captain Talbot married, Dec. 11, 1838, Charlotte
Georgians;, widow of Lieut.-Colonel Stapleton, and
daughter of the late Major-General the Hon. Sir Wm.
Pousonby, K.C.8., by whom he has issue a son and two
daughters.
Commander Henry Phelps (1849), who was lucky
enough to got appointed to the command of the Ferret,
8, at Davenport, for coast of Africa service, has been
still more fortunate in obtaining the appointment of com-
mander in the Sanspareil, under that highly-favoured
officer, Captain Dacres.
Commander John A. L. Wharton (1848) has been
appointed a mail agent in a Cape of Good Hope screw-
steamer.
MALTA, JUNE 2.-On Saturday last the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer, with the outward India
mail on board, arrived in port, having performed her
voyage in 8i days; she continued her route to Alexan-
dria on the afternoon of that day, the Banshee, with the
portion of the India mail sent through France, having
arrived, and performed her trip in 50 hours, 22 minutes,
from the moment the order at Marseilles " Go a bead"
was given, till " Ease her" in the harbour of Valetta.
On board the Bentinck was Lieutenaat-General Fergus-
son, appointed to the command of the troops, vice Lieu-
tenant-General Ellice, who has resigned, and who will
leave us by the Bentitiek on her return from Alexandria.
General Fergusson landed early, having declined all the
honours intended for him, and proceeded to the house
lately occupied by General Ellice, and which he had
vacated for Morell's Hotel. Captain Pocklington, the
Military Secretary of the new General, and Captains
Denison and Whitmore, as Aides-de-Camp, also arrived.
Yesterday the General assumed the command of the
troops at 8 Aar., and received a salute from Fort St.
Angelo.
The Fury is still in port, as are the Indefatigable and
Terrible; bat it is thought they will immediately pro-
ceed to join the Admiral, who, by the last advices, was
at Port Mahon.
Extract of a letter from Port Mahon, May 18t-
" You are aware we left Malta on the 24th, and on the
28th were joined by the Fury. On the 30th the Tra-
falgar, having carried away the slings of her mainyard,
we anchored off Port Farina (Tunis), until the follow-
ing morning, when we again got under weigh, the ren-
dezvous being Cape de Gate On the 4th of May we
had a heavy squall, accompanied with thunder, light-
ning, and hail. On the 10th we communicated with the
English brig Queen of the Tyre, from Newcastle, bound
to Tunis, from which vessel we received information
that she had seen a squadron of five sail off Cape de
Gatt, and that on the 7th she had passed a steamer. le
the evening, when in let. 37° 28' N., and long. 2° 015°
E., Cape do Gatt bearing S. 77 W. 214 miles, we were
joined by the Vengeance, Albion, Indefatigable, and
Phreon, certainly a splendid addition to our squadron.
" On the 11th spoke the English schooner Gwaine
Maid, from Girgengi, 11 days, having, while reefing
topgallaht sails, lost her toretopmast, and two men over-
board, in consequence of which we supplied her with a
spar to replace her topmast. I have forgotten to men-
tion she belongs to Fishguard, and that we spoke her
in let. 38 deg, 28 min. N., long. 2 deg. 40 min. E.
We have had the usual exercise at quarters, reefing
and furling sails, &c., of which it is usetees to give au
account, sometimes one ship being first, sometimes an-
other. We anchored in Port Mahon on the 15th, where
we found the Antelope. The Firebrand has had to do
all the work in towing, the Fury having had her ma-
chinery out of order three times during the cruise, being
twice taken in tow by the Firebrand and once by the
Bellerophon. On coming into Mahon, the Fire-
brand towed the Britannia, Trafalgar, and Bel-
lerophon. Tho Antelope rendered similar friendly
services to the Phaeton, Albion, and Vengeance, The
Terrible urrived on Sunday morning from Cape de Gatt,
bringing dispatches from the Admiralty, in conse.
quence of which the Fury was dispatched to Mar-
seilles t,
the same evening; and yesterday morning 'a •
(Monday) the Terrible and Indefatigable were sent to

PEMBROKE,
JUNE 7.—The near completion of the
line of battle screw steam-shi p
p, the Windsor
Castle, on the stocks in the Pembroke Dockyard, ,r
cites, at the prettent time, a vast anr)unt Weal
throughout the naval and maritime service,
of her stupendous size. Without exception, she is the
iarmtst vessel in the world, many hundred tons larger
then the Great Britain, the Hitnalaya (now buildit
for the Oriental and Steam Navigation Compaq, „r
Blackwall), and the celebrated American built steamer
the Pennsylvania. The Himalaya is 3,200 tons (27
tons more than the Great Britain), and the Penusylvanlis
is nearly 3,300 tons.
The annexed statement is an official return of tb°
Windsor Castle's dimensions. Originally she was, al„;
tended for a 120 gun ship. The alterations that bane
recently been made in her afford, we understand, o,ccote
modation for no fewer than 140 guns, on aCCO%
