IRON•CASED FRIGATES.

The names of the 10 iron-cased frigates on the
stocks are Provence, Savoie, and Revanche, at
Toulon; Guienne, at Rochefort ; Heroine (of iron)
and Surveillant, at L'Orient; G auloise, Magnanime
and Valeureuse, at Brest ; Flandre, at Cherbourg.
These ships are all built from the same lines, and
after the same plans. They are built exceedingly
strong, and the materials used in their construction,
as well as the workmanship, cannot be surpassed.
Their engines (almost finished) will be of 1,000
horse power, and they are expected to realise a speed
of 14 knots. Their armament will consist of 38
breach-loading rifled 30-pounder steel guns, throw-
ing shot of 180 lbs. weight, with which the stoutest
armour plates have been penetrated at 600 metres
or 660 yards distance. A considerable stock of these
guns is on hand at L'Orient.
Work was progressing rapidly on the Provence,
Flandre, Guienne, Heroine, and Surveillant. The
Provence will be launched in December. The
other four ships can be completed before April next.
All their beams were in, and they were ceiled and
partly planked. The ribs and beams of the Heroine
were in place, and the four lower streaks of plates
were rivetted on. The remaining five frigates on
the stocks all stood in frame, and with their beams
in and partly ceiled, and can be completed if neces-
sary before next June.
Thus France will have afloat by middle of next
summer 16 iron-cased frigates superior in shape,
speed, and steering powers to those of any other
nation.

IRON RAMS.

The two ram frigates Magenta (at Brest) and
Solferino (at I.'Orient) are built on entirely if&rent
principles. The how of these ships is admirable for
the purpose designed. It their upper battery was re-
moved, and the lower one plated from stem to stern,
in my opinion they would be the most formidable
vessels in the world. Up to the first battery these
ships are plated from stem to stern, but in the upper
battery only 12, and in the lower battery only 13
guns are protected by iron casing. The four ro a s of
iron casing are 41 inches thick; the upper ones, 41.
Both ships are being built of timber, and I there-
fore consider it a bad plan to have left their ex-
tremities unprotected. Their bhape and interior
arrangementa are almost perfect.
Their engines are 1,000 horse-power; speed 331
to 14 knots; armament consists in fifty-two 30-
pounder rifled guns, on two decks: The Magenta
is now ready for sea. The Solferino was making
her machinery trials when I was on board, and she
will be ready for sea before the middle of Decem-
ber.

MARKETS—This Day,

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were dull for
wheat, and inferior qualities changed hands at rather lower
prices. The supplies on offer, however, were only moderate.
Malting barb y ruled firm in the extreme; but other spring
corn, including flour, met with a slow sale, on former terms.
The wheat trade on the continent is in an inactive state,
at about previous quotations. Advices from New York,
however, report an improved feeling in the export derald.
for wheat and four, at enhanced rates.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 10,699
quarters of wheat, 5,853 barley, 3,359 oats, 1,010 beans,
6 peas, 130 tares, 9,410 linseed, 1,444 oilseeds, 3 sundry
seeds, 10 sacks and 5,4t9 barrels of flour.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market, in bad condition. Even
the few samples on offer changed hands slowly, at last
Monday's quotations; otherwise, the trade was in a slug-
gish state, and sales could only be effected by submitting
to a reduction, compared with this day se'nnight, of is per
quarter. At the close of the market the greater portion of
the supply of out-of-condition produce had not been dis-
posed of.

The supply of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive,
both ex ship and ex granary. Holders of all descriptions
were firm in their demands, but buyers endeavoured to
make purchases on easier terms; sales consequently pro-
gressed slowly, yet the quotations were steadily supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request at
late rates.

Malting barley, the supply of which was small, ruled
firm at fully last Monday's currency. With other kinds
the market was fairly supplied, and the demand proved far
from active, but without leading to any quotable change in
prices compared with our last report.
We have to report an inactive market for malt, at pre-
vious quotations.

The supply of oats on sale was small. For all qualities
the trade ruled firm, and an 'advance of 6d per quarter took
place in prices.

Beans—owing to their bad condition—sold heavily, at
about previous rates. The supply on offer was moderate.
Peas changed hands slowly, on former terms. The mar-
ket was but moderately supplied.
The demand for flour ruled far from active, yet prices,
generally speaking, were fairly maintained.

NOTTINGHAM-SATURDAY.

There was a tolerable supply of wheat at this corn market
to-day, but many of the samples were in bad condition,
owing to the damp weather of the past week. For all fine
sorts late prices were paid, and inferior is lower. There
was not much barley shown, and prices were firm. Oats
met a quiet sale.

been found on the rocks at Hennequeville, and 80 full
of oil on the beach at Villerville.

APPROPRIATIONS.

Ia the year 1855 a commission, composed of the
most able men of each department of the French
Navy, considered the organisation which it would
be proper to give to the Imperial navy, and a report
of the Minister of Marine, approved by the Em-
pror, contains a complete list of the ships com-
rsing the French Navy, with the strength of each
ship in guns and horse power, and no doubt this
report is in the hands of our Government.
The same report gives also the number and
strength in guns and horse power of the ships which
are to be built from year to year till 1870. The
credits necessary to carry out these plans were voted
in 1857, and the plan fixed upon was then to be
executed and accomplished in 1867, at which time
the French Navy was tobe composed (besides a large
number of ships of inferior classes) of
Screw line-of-battle ships of first class .. 15
Ditto second class 25

Total .... . ............. 40

IMPROVEMENTS.
Since then experience has pronounced in favour
of iron-cased frigates, and it has been decided by the
Imperial Government that the plan fixed upon in
1855 is to be carried out to the letter, with the
difLrence of putting iron cased frigates instead of
line•of-battle ships.
This transformation of the French navy (it war
should not accelerate the progress) will be com-
pleted in 1870, and the principal fighting parts (for
aggressive purposes) of the French fleet will consist
at that time in 40 iron-cased frigates of the first
class, varying in armament from 36 to 52 guns (all
rifled and breech loading), having a horse power of
from 900 to 1,200, and all possessing a superior
speed exceeding 12 knots per hour.
Whatever improvements may be made in the
meantime in naval architecture, the same plan will
be carried out with such slight modifications as well
stated and tested experience will show it to be de-
sirable and necessary to adopt, in order to always
secure to France the rank of a first-class naval

power.
After all that I have seen, it is my firm convic-
tion that France is the first naval power on the globe,
and further, that no other power will possess at the
end of another year a fleet able to cope successfully
with the French iron-cased fleet on the open sea.

GOTHA, Jan. 24

The negotiations pending with the Duke of Saxe-
Coburg relative to his acceptance of the crown of
Greece have not yet been definitely broken off, but
there is little prospect that the conditions made by
the Duke will be accepted by the Powers, although
these conditions only refer to the welfare of Greece
and to the settlement of the affairs of the Duchy.
The Duke raises no claims to any Royal domains
in Greece.

THE SPANISH CONGRESS.
jan. 24.
In to-day's sitting of the Congress Senor River°
requested explanations respecting the recent Mini-
sterial modifications. Marshal O'Donnell replied
that ne had already given all the explanations.
Senor Mon stated that he withdrew from the late
Cabinet on account of its polic quaint the Mexican
question, and that he was not ad with the
views of the present Cabinet on that question.
In replying to Senor Mon, Marshal O'Donnell
recalled that he had for tour years supported the
union of the Liberal party in Spain.
The Chamber then passed to the order of the
day.

Puebla.

A messenger named Regis Roche, residing at
Fey-le-Froid (Haute-Loire), has just been lost in
the snow. He had left at nightfall on his return home, a
village called Staint-Julien-Cliapteuil, to which he had been
sent, and was seen later as he passed through the village of
Boussoulet, which lay on the road. Shortly after a terrible
snowstorm came on, and as Roche had not taken any re-
freshments before starting, he is supposed to have perished
from exhaustion. His body was found two days after.

The purchase of timber 1,500,000
)1 „ iron
For construction of ships in private establish-
ments 2,000,000

The latter items give proof of two facts—That the
French Government continues to give the prefer-
ence to wooden, and against iron ships, and there-
fore intends yet to increase its already immense
stock of timber; and that the iron-cased ships are
to be completed with greater rapidity than was
originally contemplated. Therefore the large ad-
ditional grant for the purchase of iron. lam con-
firmed in this view by the order given a short time
ago by the Minister of Marine to complete all the
iron-cased ships o❑ the stocks by the middle of next
year. With the present relations existing between
France and the United States, this fact is of high
importance, and looks rather ominous.

To return to the estimate, we find that all the
grants for the navy for 1863, deducting those for
the colonial service, am)unt to 143,418,920 f., being
twenty millions of francs in excess of the naval
budget for 1860.

The sums allowed for the pulcbase of the princi-
pal materials for naval construction use will be
found in the following table :—.

the French Government to be prepared to meet the
possible exigencies of suddenly increased arma
ments.

IRON RAMS.

The two ram frigates Magenta (at Brest) and
Solferino (at i 'Orient) are built on entirely ifferent
principles. The bow of these ships is admirable for
the purpose designed. If their upper battery was re-
moved, and the lower one plated from stem to stern,
in my opinion they would be the most formidable
vessels in the world. Up to the first battery these
ships are plated from stem to stern, but in the upper
battery only 12, and in the lower battery only 13
guns are protected by iron casing. The four ro sof
iron casing are 41 inches thick ; the upper ones, 4:.
Both ships are being built of timber, and I there-
fore consider it a bad plan to have left their ex-
tremities unprotected. Their shape and interior
arrangements are almost perfect.
Their engines are 1,000 horse-power ; speed 331
to 14 knots; armament consists in fifty-two 30-
pounder rifled guns, on two decks; The Magenta
is now ready for sea. The Solferino was making
her machinery trials when I was on board, and she
will be ready for sea before the middle of Decem-
ber.

APPROPRIATIONS.

In the year 1855 a commission, composed of the
most able men of each department of the French
Navy, considered the organisation which it would
he proper to give to the Imperial navy, and a report
of the Minister of Marire, approved by the Em-
peror, contains a complete list of the ships com-
posing the French Navy, with the strength of each
ship in guns and horse power, and no doubt this
report is in the hands of our Government.
The same report gives also the number and
strength in guns and horse power of the ships which
are to be built from year to year till 1870. Tile
credits necessary to carry out these plans were voted
in 1857, and the plan fixed upon was then to be
executed and accomplished in 1867, at which time
the French Navy was to be composed (besides a large
number of ships of inferior classes) of
Screw line-of-battle ships of first class .. 15_
Ditto second class 25

IMPROVEMENTS.
Since then experience has pronounced in favour
of iron-cased frigates, and it has been decided by the
Imperial Government that the plan fixed upon in
1855 is to be carried out to the letter, with the
aiffirence of putting iron-cased frigates instead of
line•of-battle ships.

This transformation of the French navy (if war
should not accelerate the progress) will be com-
pleted in 1870, and the principal fighting parts (for
aggressive purposes) of the French fleet will consist
at that time in 40 iron-cased frigates of the first
class, varying in armament from 36 to 52 guns (all
rifled and breech loading), having a horse power of
from 900 to 1,200, and all possessing a superior
speed exceeding 12 knots per hour.
Whatever improvements may be made in the
meantime in naval architecture, the same plan will
be carried out with such slight modifications as well
stated and tested experience will show it to be de-
sirable and necessary to adopt, in order to always
secure to France the rank of a first-class naval

power.
After all that I have seen, it is my firm convic-
tion that France is the first naval power on the globe,
and further, that no other power will possess at the
end of another year a fleet able to cope successfully
with the French iron-cased fleet on the open sea.

FRANCE.

L'Opinion Nationale tells us that active endea-
vours are being made to conquer the reluctance of
the Duke of Saxe Coburg-Gotha to become a candi-
date for the Greek throne. It states that the Duke
has informed King Leopold that he wished to be
allowed till the end of the month before giving a
final answer. We find in the same journal a statement
taken from the France, that the Emperor proposes
to attempt a new interference in the American
struggle. He intends to recommend the belliger-
ents to name two representatives to discuss the
basis of an arrangement. L'Opinion Nationale
does not doubt that the South will readily accept
this intervention, from the tone of Jefferson
Davis's speech. But is the North of the same mind ?
L'Opinion fears not. The South exhausts itself
by its victories no less than by its defeats, and will
rejoice to bee negotiations opened. The North hav-
ing grounds, from the immense superiority of its
resources, to hope for ultimate success, will be less
ready. These conclusions, however correct in their
results, are not exactly founded on fact.
Le Constitutionnel announces that the report of
the commission on the Address will be read on
Monday in the Senate by the President Troplong.
It is supposed that the debate will begin on Thurs-
day, and that the general discussion will be concluded
on Saturday, so that next week will be devoted to
the consideration of the paragraphs. If these cal-
culations are correct, the debate on the Address
will not commence in the Corps Legislatif before
the 10th of February. Le Pays has an article full
of virtuous indignation against England, on account
of the remarks made, on the proposed enrolment of
an Egyptian battalion.

Treasurer—Edward Masterman, Esq.
This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of eovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom-
panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued supp4r,
to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

The Deaths in the City on the Night of the

The following letter from the Home Secretary
was received last night by the Lord Mayor :
Whitehall, March 13, 1863.

My dear Lord,—l am commanded by the Queen
to express the great grief and concern with which
her Majesty has read the acaount in the newspapers
of the lamentable loss of life which occurred in the
streets of the City on Tuesday night.
The Queen desires that her sincere sympathy with
the families of the sufferers should be made known ;
and it is her Majesty's wish that an inquiry should
be made into their circumstances.
I have to request that your lordship will be so
good as to cause this inquiry to be made without
delay, and that you will inform me of the result, in
order that it may be submitted to her Majesty.—l
have the honour to be, my dear lord, your faithful
servant, a GREY.

and the many who cannot deserve consideration.
What is to be done, then P In the absence of Lord
Derby, Lord Shaftesbury proposed that the bill be
read that day six months, which is sending it into
space for ever. Even if there were no other objec-
tion to that course than that so short an answer
would hardly commend respect, there is a more
serious reason against it. There are other railway
projects likely to evoke similar remonstrances. Lord
Ebury mentioned one which proposes to occupy the
north side of Euston-square. This is a general
question, and cannot be met in detail. The Board
of Trade accordingly has been instructed to report
on the subject, and its report is expected in a week
or so. Lord Granville therefore invited the Lords
to wait for it, if only from civility. The trouble had
been taken and ought not to be thrown away. He
therefore proposed that the debate be adjourned for
a fortnight, instead of six months. So reasonable
a request could not be denied, and the matter Waits
for more light.

Royal English Opera on Monday next, March 16, that
night being the last but five of the season. Benedict's ro-
mantic opera of " The Lily of Killarney" will be performed
on the occasion, with other attractive entertainments. The
great services rendered by Mr. Harrison in fostering the
taste for English musical art, and promoting the interests
of its professors, will not be forgotten by his numerous
