Naval and Military Intelligence,

most fastidious can desire, especially for the ladies and chil-
dren. The main deck, on which the troops will be berthed,
is of great height from the planking of the deck to the lower
part of the upper de.ck iron beams, and the means of venti-
lation, in which the roomy hatchways of the ship largely
assist, are as perfect as con be wished for on board ship.
The arrangements of the messes and the sleeping arrange-
ments are according to the excellent regulations laid down
by the Horse Guards and tho Hon. Council for India. The
rank and file are messed and sleep forward of the main
hatchway ; next aft are the staff, nen-commissioned offi-
cers, &c., and abaft all, and screened in to themselves, are
berthed the women and children. The officers and crew of
the ship are berthed on the upper deck, the former in the
usual house cabins amidships, and the crew under a roomy
forecastle forward. The upper deck of the ship is very
much arched with sluice waterways below the level of the
deck, so that no large quantities of water can ever be washed
across it in rough weather at sea. The stock of water car-
ried in the hold is 244 tons, and the ship also carries a fresh
water distilling apparatus in the galley capable of furnishing
60 gallons per day. The fore and mainmasts are of iron, and
the mizen is of wood. The rigging and gear aloft are to all
appearance of the best quality. The fora and maintopsails
are Cunningham's patent. The boats are fitted with Clif-
ford's patent lowering apparatus, of the efficiency of which
at sea the officers on board speak, from their past experience,
in enthusiastic terms. The ship's ground tackle consists of a
Trotman and common anchor in use, with the usual spare
gear, All the cables on board were officially tested before
leaving the Victoria Docks. In the gale of Friday the ship
was brought to an anchor under Dungeness, the Trotinan
anchor being let go. This, the ship's officers state, never
moved an inch after touching the ground, although it was
their belief that the common anchor would not have held
the ship in the position she was then in against the gale.
Should the weather be favourableOhe•King Arthur will
start on her voyage from Portsmouth this afternoon.
The Rajah of Cochin, hired transport, is expected to ar-
rive at Spithead at an early hour this morning from Liver-
pool, and will immediately on arrival be towed into Ports-
mouth harbour and embark the remainder of the 55th Re-
giment and detachments for Madras.

The screw steam transport Sea King, taken up by the
War Department for the conveyance of troops and artillery
supplies for Auckland, New Zealand, yesterday shipped a
large portion of her stores, consisting of one complete bat-
tery of 12 pounder Armstrong guns, and one 6 pounder bat-
tery, for effective service in the bush and over the soft and
cultivated part of the country infested by the insurgent
tribes, and inaccessible to the ordinary artillery. She like-
wise shipped 40 sheep, 30 pigs, 100 dozen of poultry, and an
abunndant stock of preserved meats and milk, for 151 days'
supply, should any unforeseen mishap prolong the voyage
beyond the anticipated term of 60 or 65 days. Lieut.-Col.
Williams, under orders to proceed in the Sea King to take up
the command of the Royal Artillery in New Zealand, has
been provided with commodious accommodation for himself
and family, but on account of the indisposition of one of his
children his family will follow him on a future opportunity.
On account of the for ward state of the embarkation the
order for their departure on Thursday next was yesterday
changed to Wednesday. The battery will consequently go
on board this morning, and the ship will leave the pier on
the following morning for Gravesend.
The Royal factories at Woolwich have commenced ma-
nufacturing guns of the new kind ordered by the War De-
partment. A number of the old hands discharged some
time ago, have been re-engaged, and the work is ordered to
be carried on night and day to insure despatch.

THE DRAWING OF PRIZES WILL BE ON THE
PRINCIPL E OF THE ART UNION.
Any one purchasing or aiding in selling 25 tickets will be
entitled to a large Engraving, either of the Death of St.
Joseph, or of Bb ased l'aul of the Cross, which will be
forwarded by post upon receipt of 4 postage stamps.
Catalogues as well as tickets may be lead on application at
St. Joseph's Retreat, Highgate, and at 39, Rue de Berri, Paris.

OELEBRATiON of the TERCENTENARY of

had never seen one of the insects, which weie de-
scribed by the natives as a long-bodied fly, which
became very plentiful after the rainy season, and
sometimes decimated their flocks of goats. The read-
ing of the paper was concluded amid loud applause.
An interesting conversation took plac?, in which
Mr. M'Queen, Captain Maury, Mr. Crawford, Sir
E. Belcher, the Bishop of Natal, and Earl Donough-
more took part.

The Baron von DECKEN, in reply to various
questions, said there were no hcirses nor donkeys in
the regions about Kilimanjaro, but there ware
plenty of cattle and sheep. Corn, potatoes, and
bananas grew there, and the sugar cane in the
lower parts, but he saw no wild coffee plants. The
rainy season lasted for 10 months out of the 12.

The CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the meeting, thanked
the Baron von Dacken for his very interesting paper.
Mr. TINNE,':a relative of the Dutch ladies now
travelling in Central Africa, stated that he had re-
ceived letters from them dated the Ist of July, in
which they announced that the whole party were
in excellent health, and intending to proceed to-
wards a mountain they had heard of called Caznrja,
of which there was no geographical knowledge. The
country through which they had passed, south-west
by west of Khartoum, was very picturesque, and the
Nyam Nyam country to which they were bound
was. said to be very fruitful. The ladies had left
their boats on the Nile, and the rainy season lasting
until November, they did not expect to return to
them before January or February. The latest de-
spatches from Dr. Baikie to Earl Russell, and a
letter from the late Dr. Vogel to his mother, which,
although dated in 1853, was interesting, as giving
an account of the habits of the natives, were also
read, after which the meeting adjourned.

OPENING OP THE SPANISH CORTES.

The following is the speech delivered by the
Queen of Spain on opening the Cortes
Senators and Deputies,—It is Nays Ni ith great
pleasure that I see myself in the midst of the Na-
tional Representation, an institution accessible to
all constitutional opinions who exercise a legitimate
and advantageous influence over the Government
of the State and a secure guide for the throne,
which, with its support, pacifically solves the most
arduous problems, and wards off the most formi-
dable conflicts. Let us, therefore, continue to
devote ourselves with solicitude to the improvement
of our institutions.

" My Government will take the initiative in pro-
posing to you reforms recommended by experience,
with the assurance that my most ardent duty is to
be acquainted with the sincere expression of the
national wish, in order that I may successfully
fulfil the exalted mission which it has pleased Pro-
vidence to confide to me.

At the expiration of the legislative mandate of
the last Congress, fresh elections took place within
the delay fixed by the Constitution. The electors
came in great numbers to deposit their votes in the
urns without any complications, which I deplore,
having disturbed order in the midst of the natural
animation of the equal struggle of ideas, which is
that which constitutes the real life of free nations.
This is a proof of the progress which constitutional

representative regime. with the exigencies

harmonise the administration of justice with our
fundamental institutions, all the jurisdictions re-
mainingwithin their natural limits, and with the
practical application of the principle of judicial
immovability the watchword of the constitution of
the monarchy.

"To those bases will be united those of the criminal
jurisdiction, in which, without diminishing the rights
of society and of defence, but on the contrary giv-
ing them more security, the administration of jus-
tice will be facilitated, and, by the help of appeal
for cassation, the observance of the law will be
maintained, and its interpretation rendered uniform
in all the tribunals. As a complement of those
bases, there will be also submitted to you the
organisation of the tribunals of commerce, and those
bills taken together, when they shall have become
laws, will constitute one of the most important and
the most devoted of my reign.

"My Government will also submit to your ex-
amination the law on municipal authorities and
corporations, in which, by following the spirit which
presides over that of the organisation of the pro-
vincee, and by giving more latitude to the action of
the municipalities, local and general interests will
be reconciled. The march of the administration
will be thus rendered less embarrassing, and the
work of decentralisation will be completed so far
as it shall be compatible with tha moral, political,
and permanent interests of the State, and with the
duty of the Government to watch over the execu-
tion of the laws.

" I rely on your giving your attention to the
bill which will be presented to you by my
Govern-
ment relative to the exercise of the liberty of the
press, and to another measure of public order,
which, by removing all that is doubtful and arbi-
trary iu the present regime, will subject to fixed
rules the suspension of constitutional guarantees,
and even establish by that excentional situation
enactments to protect individual rights.
"Other important projects will be laid before
you, and among others that of the electoral law,
the codification of the waters, military substitutes,
the creation of the rural guard, expropriation for
works of public utility, grants for irrigations,
abolition of the monopoly of powder,
and the re-
form of the octroi and tax on industry.
"In execution of the provisions of constitu-
tion, there will be submitted to you for examina-
tion a, bill which fixes the strength of the army
and navy, and the amount of the State budget.
You will find in it no reductions as compared with
preceding budgets; the inevitable increase of the
ordinary wants which actually coincides with the
decrene,:in the colonial surpluses, causes a deficiency
which cannot be filled up except by reforms of
such taxes as are susceptible of being made more
productive.

was living an old man who had for many years
been employed at Soho, and who related how the
wise men used to come there at each tall ruooli, and
used to sit very late at night, and that he remem-
bered Mr. Boulton and some of them once took a
picture of the house, and had to go into a dark place
during the process.
So far the evidence as to the metal plates, which,
if subetantialed, will go far to prove that the die-
cover" of Niopee and 1) guerre wore anticipated
by Boulton. It may possibly prove more; filr the re-
semblance between these plates and the early pro.
ductions of Daguerre is really marvellous if only
accidental, and it' no link be Lund to connect the
two processes. But the further evidence already
obtained as to the pictures on paper discovered at
Soho presents quite a tangle of curious circum-
stances. Frcm invoices and other cube papers, all
bearing date about the end of the last century, it is
evident that these pictures, however produced, were

number of them at the present time, scattered
through various collections and portfolios. The
glazy surface,
the porous, rough, water-marked,
foolscap paper, bearing Whatman's impress and
the reversed figures, will distinguish them; for their
appearance on cursory examination very much
resembles that of the common coloured mezzotints
which our grandsires so much affected.
It appears that Sir William Beatty painted
Boulton's portrait about 1794, the picture being
subsequently exhibited at the Royal Academy. He
was horrified on being shown a number of paper
pictures similar to those recently discovered; and
he got up a petition, signed by a number of artists,
entreating that the manufacture of these pictures
might be stayed, as it would inevitably ruin the
picture trade. A sort of foreman of Boulton's, named
Edginton, appears to have superin tended the produc-
tion of these pictures, if he did not actually discover
the process by which the transfer to paper was done.
Several of his letters are extant:referring to the subse-
quent colouring which some of the pictures under-
went ;:none of them, however, afford any clue as to
the original method of their production. But a
little later, and after the alarm was taken by the
artists, we find a talk of granting Edgington a
Government pension. This fell through because of a
curious autograph letter of Matthew Boulton's
which has been fortunately found. In this letter,
officially addressed to the Minister, he claims for
himself the discovery of the process on account of
which Edgington's annuity had been eontemplated ;
he intimates his knowledge that the grant was only
intended to ensure the discontinuance of the pro-
cess, suggests that he could arrange this in a
much more certain way, and concludes his letter
with a strong hint that he is open to be dealt with.
Whatever ensued as the result of this letter, it
seems very clear that the production of the pictures
was thenceforward discontinued.
Here the evidence comes to an end so far as re-
gards these curious paper pictures, and the silvered
plates which the highest authorities refer to about
the year 1791. In this same year, Thomas Wedg.
wood, son of the famous potter, was certainly at
work on photography, as is shown by his bills and
orders for apparatus and chemicals. At the meet-
ing of the Photographic Society there was exhibited,
side by side with the above-mentioned metal plates,
a photograph of a neatly laid breakfast table, taken
upon paper by Wedgwood, and the information
about it tended to the conclusion that it also was
done in the year 1791. Thus far we have written the
history of this curious discovery in accordance with
the evidence laid before the Photographic Society;
but still there are many links wanting before it can
be taken as proved that the pictures found at Soho
were produced by photography. If it shall be shown
that they were so produced, then it will also be
established that at that time photographic feats
were done which we cannot now-a-days accom-
plish. For it has been proved by chemical analysis
that these pictures do not contain a trace of silver,
and must, therefore, if of photographic origin, have
been lost to us. That an art promising such great
rssults should have been suffered to die out, is in
itself curious in these days of diffusion of know.
ledge; but stall more remarkable is the double co-
incidence existing between the independently pro-
duced metal and paper photographs of Boulton
and Wedgwood, of 1791, and of Daguerre and Fox
Talbot in 1839.

That desirable tranquillity has not been disturbed
except in the island of Santo Domingo, and my
Government has sent the necessary reinforcements
and funds for that conflict.

" The honour of our fLig must he preserved in-

preter of the national sentiments in sending from
this piece the testimony of my gratitude, and of my
sympathies to the brave soldiers who, trampling
under foot a thousand sufferings, maintains in all its
eclat the honour of our arms, and shed their gene-

" My Government is occupying itself with the
improvement of the administration of the colonial
provinces, which are the constant object of my soli-

pose will powerfully contribute to the development
of their prosperity and of their riches, with the
same zeal with which it has endeavoured to repair
the disastrous effects of the earthquake at Manilla,
which has left on my maternal heart such a pain-
ful impression.

" I hope, gentlemen, senators, and deputies, that
God, in his mercy, will farour my projects for the
happiness of our dear country. I rely on your co-
operation, full of confidence in your Spanish loyalty.
My gratitude is equally great towards this great
nation, as jealous of its independence and of its
glory as it is worthy of being happy and pros-
perous.
"It has surrounded my cradle and defended my
right, imposing on myself the sacred duty, which I
fulfil with eagerness,
of giving to its happines prio-

Lastly, it has invested me with the personification
of its new social state, and has identified me with
the constitutional institutions of which I shall
always be the shield and the support."

The Addresses of Loyalty from Lithuania.

The C:as publishes addresses to the National
Government, signed by 249,646 inhabitants of
Lithuania, protesting against the measures adopted
by Mouravieff in extorting from the nobility ad-
dressgs of loyalty to the Czar. The following is a
translation of the address from the palatinate of
Wilna

The Inhabitants of the Palatinate of Vilna to the National
Government.
In the midst of the bloody war of independence against
Russia, in which all classes of society in Lithuania take an
heroic part, the late marshal of the Wilna palatinate drew
up an address to the Czar of Muscovy, expressing senti-
ments of loyalty on behalf of the nobility, after which the
Muscovite authorities called upon the nobles to confirm
this base document by their signatures.
The noble-hearted men who by refusing to sign suffered
the loss of their property, exile to Siberia, or a martyr's
death, have already given to the world a glorious testimony
of the means used by Muscovy in obtaining signatures.
Their blood innocently shed, their boundless sacrifices,
proved on the one hand how Muscovy feels herself deprived
of every lawful footing in Lithuania; how, having no real
rights, she strives to invent imaginary ones ; and how she
can only obtain these by the use of the most savage com-
pulsion—and on the other hand, that addresses and signa-
tures which aro obtained by armed force, by threats of Siberia
or the gallows, by murder, destruction, and imprisonment
lose all the significance they might otherwise have had.
But even an apparent abandonment of the country's
cause is painful to the hearts of Poles, in whom the love of
their country has become almost a religion. We, there-
fore, the undersigned inhabitants of the Wilna palatinate,
both those who have been forced by Muscovy to sign
this false document and those who have not yet
